Apple Logic Pro 9 - Manual (Page 1323)

locators Lower two sets of numbers, displayed to the right of the position indicators in
the Transport bar. The number on top is the left locator; the number below is the right
locator. The left and right locators define the cycle time-range, useful for cycle or skip
playback operations and cycle recording. The locators are also used to define the editing
area for certain functions.
loop An audio file that contains recurring rhythmic musical elements, or elements suitable
for repetition. Logic Pro supports Apple Loops, amongst other file formats.
Loop Browser A tab in the Media area of the Arrange window used to access and manage
Apple Loops and ReCycle files.
Loop function The Loop region parameter in Logic Pro that creates loop repeats for an
audio or MIDI region. These repetitions will continue until the project end point is reached,
or another region or folder (whichever comes first) is encountered on the same track in
the Arrange area.
low cut filter A low cut filter is essentially a highpass filter that offers no slope or resonance
controls. It attenuates all frequencies below the defined cutoff.
lowpass filter The lowpass filter defines the maximum frequency that can pass through
without being affected, thus controlling the brightness of the sound. Every signal above
this frequency will be cut. The higher the cutoff frequency, the higher the frequencies
that can pass through. A lowpass filter that offers no slope or resonance controls is a high
cut filter.
main menu bar The bar at the top of the screen, offering global functions such as opening,
saving, exporting, or importing projects. It does not offer access to local window functions.
It does, however, contain an Edit menu—with commands that apply to the window with
key focus.
marker A marker is an indicator, or bookmark, that is tied to a specific time position in a
project. It can contain text that act as notes for different versions of a project, for example.
Markers can also be used for a number of selection and navigation tasks.
Marker List Window (or tab in the Lists area of the Arrange window) that shows an
alphanumeric listing of all marker events. It also includes a Marker Text area that allows
you to add text information (notes) to particular marker events.
