148 Chapter 7 Working With Projects
Setting the Start and End Points of a Project
A project normally starts at position 1 1 1 1. You can move the project start point to an
earlier position, allowing upbeats or program change commands to be played before
the first downbeat.
To define a project’s start point:
m Drag the project start marker in the Bar ruler to the left or right.
To define a project’s end point, do one of the following:
m Drag the project end marker in the Bar ruler to the left or right.
m Set the desired value in the Transport bar’s numerical Project End display.
Note: If your Transport bar does not include the Project End display, Control-click on it
and choose Customize Transport Bar in the pop-up menu. Turn on the Tempo/Project
End checkbox in the Customize Transport Bar pane.
As soon as Logic Pro reaches the project end point, it will stop automatically, except
when recording. In this situation, the project end point is automatically moved to the
end of the recording.
Setting the Basic Project Playback Level
You can set the basic project playback level by dragging the Master Level slider found
at the right of the Transport bar. This slider is directly tied to the Master channel in the
Mixer, and acts as a master level control for all audio and software instrument tracks.
