Audio Recording Names
The track name is used as the default file name for a recording. Subsequent recordings
made on this track will be assigned an ascending numerical suffix. “Audio 1” will be
named “Audio 1_01”, “Audio 1_02”, and so on. If the track is not named, the name of the
channel strip that the track is routed to will be used. You can rename tracks in the
Arrange track list and Mixer windows (see “
Naming Tracks ” on page 191 and “ Renaming
Tracks in the Mixer Window ” on page 577).
Setting Up Track Channels
If you want to make adjustments to audio channel strips, you can do it directly in the
Arrange channel strip. You can also use the Mixer window to adjust channel strip
settings. Full details in “
Setting Channel Strip Levels ” on page 546.
Making Mono, Stereo, or Surround Recordings
Logic Pro allows you to make mono, stereo, or surround recordings.
To switch the recording format of a channel:
m Click-hold the Format button of the channel strip, and choose the desired format from
the pop-up menu.
The symbol on the button indicates the current status as follows:
 Mono: One circle represents a mono input format. The level meter shows a single
column.
 Stereo: Two, interlocked circles represents a stereo input format. The level meter
divides into two independent columns when a stereo input format is chosen.
