Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 1321)

importing The process of bringing files of various types into a Logic Pro project. Imported
files can be created in another application, captured from another device, or taken from
another Logic Pro project.
In button Button used to activate Step Input mode in the editors. Also see Step Input
function.
input channel strip Channel strip type in the Environment Mixer layer that is included
for backward compatibility with projects created in older Logic Pro versions. An input
channel strip represents the physical inputs of your audio interface and directs input from
your audio interface into Logic Pro. In general, you will not need to access this channel
strip type in Logic Pro.
input monitoring This function allows you to hear incoming audio, when audio tracks
are playing, record-enabled, or recording. Simply click the Input Monitoring button on
Arrange audio tracks to enable or disable input monitoring.
Insert slot A panel on Logic Pro channel strips where you can patch in (insert) an effect
plug-in.
Inspector Area at the left edge of the Arrange window and editors, containing the
Parameter boxes and channel strips (Arrange) of the selected track. The Inspector area
updates to reflect the parameters relevant to the window with key focus. Also see
Parameter box.
instrument channel strip Logic Pro supports the use of software-based instruments.
Software instrument plug-ins are inserted into the Instrument slot of instrument channel
strips. Software instrument recording takes place on instrument tracks in the Arrange
area. Playback of these tracks is routed via the instrument channel strip shown in the
Mixer (or to the left of the Arrange window).
instrument object An object in the Logic Pro Environment designed to communicate
with a single-channel MIDI device. An instrument object represents a physical or virtual
device that handles MIDI information. Also see multi-instrument object.
interface 1) A hardware component such as a MIDI or audio device that allows Logic Pro
to interface (connect) with the outside world. You need an audio or MIDI interface to get
sound or MIDI into and out of your computer. Also see audio interface. 2) A term that is
used to describe graphical elements within Logic Pro that you can interact with. An
example would be the Arrange area, where graphical interface elements such as regions
are interacted with to create a project, within the overall Logic Pro interface.
interleaved audio file Logic Pro typically handles multi-channel (stereo or surround)
audio files as interleaved (unless using DAE hardware). Edits to interleaved files affect
both (or all, if surround) channels equally. Also see split channel audio files.
