comping A process where multiple recording takes are combined into a single perfect
take. See takes.
compressor An effect that restricts the dynamic range of an audio signal (also see
expander).
Content Link mode The chain link button found at the top-left corner of most Logic Pro
windows features three modes. Content Link mode is useful for situations where multiple
MIDI regions are horizontally aligned along a single track, and you are viewing the MIDI
region contents in the Piano Roll Editor, for example. In this scenario, the Piano Roll Editor
will only show the contents of the selected MIDI region. Should you wish to view the
contents of each MIDI region (selected or not) in the Piano Roll Editor as the project plays,
you will need to activate Content Catch mode.
controller MIDI data type. As examples: sliders, pedals, or standard parameters like
volume and panning. The type of command is encoded in the first data byte, the value
being sent or received is encoded in the second data byte.
control surface A hardware device that communicates with Logic Pro via MIDI (or USB,
FireWire, or via a networking connection). It can be used to write automation data and
control Logic Pro parameters, such as mixing levels and panning, effects and instruments,
plus transport and navigation functions, amongst others.
Controls view All Logic Pro plug-ins (and Audio Units) offer a non-graphical alternative
to the Editor views of effect and instrument parameters. The Controls view is accessed
via the Controls item in the plug-in header’s View menu at the top of each plug-in window.
This view is provided to allow access to additional parameters and to use less onscreen
space.
