Working With Projects

You can create collections under My Templates by creating sub-folders in the ~/Library/
Application Support/Logic/Project Templates folder. This can be done in the Finder, or
with the Create Folder button in the Save As Template dialog. When all user templates
are placed in sub-folders, the sub-folder names will be shown below the factory
collections.

Tip: You can add a descriptive text to your templates by adding a comment to the
project file in the Finder. The Templates dialog displays the icon assigned to a template
file, making it easy for you to change a template’s icon. For more information on how to
add a comment to a file, or change the icon of a file, see the Finder Help.

Closing and Quitting

Following the creation or playback of a project, you’ll want to close it and Logic Pro.
Here’s how you do it:

To close the currently active project:

m

Choose File > Close Project (or use the corresponding key command, default: Option-
Command-W).

If you have made any changes since the last save operation, Logic Pro will ask you if the
project should be re-saved before closing, to preserve any changes you have made.

To close the open window:

m

Choose File > Close (or use the corresponding key command).

This will only close the uppermost window, not the whole project. The project will only
be properly closed when all windows are closed.

To quit the application:

m

Choose Logic Pro > Quit Logic Pro (or use the corresponding key command,
default: Command-Q).

If you’ve made changes, but haven’t saved them, you will be asked if you want to do so
before quitting (press Enter to save).

If multiple projects are open, you will be asked if you want to review any changes, or
simply close and discard any changes.

The Close Project without Saving key command closes the currently active project
without saving it—and you will not be asked to do so. This command was included at
the request of many experienced Logic Pro users. Please only use it if you’re sure that
this is what you want to do.
