Setting the Recording Format
Logic Pro allows you to set the recording format of channel strips, as follows:
Mono Left Surround Stereo Right
• Mono: One circle represents a mono input format. The level meter shows a single
column.
• Stereo: Two interlocked circles represent a stereo input format. The level meter divides
into two independent columns.
• Left: Two circles, the left one filled, indicate a left channel input format. When this input
format is chosen, only the left channel of a stereo audio file is played back. The level
meter shows a single column.
• Right: Two circles, the right one filled, indicate a right channel input format. When this
input format is chosen, only the right channel of a stereo audio file is played back. The
level meter shows a single column.
• Surround: Five circles indicate the surround channel input format. The level meter
divides into multiple, linked columns (the number matches the project surround format).
