Smart Controls
With Smart Controls, you can quickly view and adjust the sound of a track using a set of visual
screen controls. Each patch contains a Smart Control. You can customize Smart Controls by
mapping their screen controls to channel strip or plug-in parameters, then manipulate them
using external MIDI hardware.
For more information about using Smart Controls, see

Track Stacks
In the Tracks area, Logic Pro X features a new way to organize tracks and create audio subgroups
using Track Stacks. You can create a Track Stack from a group of existing tracks, and use the
controls on the master track to control all the subtracks in the Track Stack.
There are two types of Track Stacks: folder stacks and summing stacks. Both types have a main
track and one or more subtracks. The track header for the main track features a disclosure triangle
that lets you show or hide the subtracks. When you close the stack, only the main track appears
in the Tracks area.
Subtracks can include any track type: audio, software instrument (including layered and multi-
output software instruments), external MIDI instrument, or aux tracks. Folder stacks can also
include summing stacks as subtracks.
For Track Stacks, the patches available in the Library vary, depending on the Track Stack type, and
which track in the Track Stack is selected. For more information, see
