Song Settings and Preferences
The Song Settings and Preferences allow you to define
many of Logic’s basic operating parameters. This section
explains each of these menu items individually.
Unless otherwise indicated, the descriptions of the various options apply when the
selection box next to the option is checked (in other words, when it’s active).
Song Settings and Preferences are accessible via the File > Song Settings and Logic >
Preferences menu items. When either is selected, a Preferences or Song Settings
window will be launched.
Each window features a number of icons and tabbed panels. These are much like
menus and sub-menus. To adjust a given Preference, simply select the desired icon,
then the appropriate panel tab, and then activate/deactivate the preference, or make
your selection from a pull-down menu. Just close the window once you’ve made your
selections.
In some instances, you will find a button that links to the Song Settings window, while
you are in the Preferences window (and vice-versa). Clicking on this button will launch
the Song Settings window, and will automatically select the relevant panel. As an
example, the Preferences > MIDI > Sync panel features a MIDI Sync Song Settings
button. Clicking on this button will launch the Song Settings > Synchronization > MIDI
panel.
Both the Song Settings and Preferences windows can be visible at the same time,
making the set up of Logic’s operating parameters faster and clearer.
Some of these can also be reached directly from Logic’s local menus (in the Score
window, for example), or from the Transport buttons, via pop-up menus.
