Project and File Interchange

 Over the Internet—using .Mac (requires a .Mac account).

You can share and back up the following data types:

 Plug-in settings
 Channel strip settings
 Key command Sets

Note: Due to potential licensing issues with sample libraries, you can not share EXS
instruments, Ultrabeat, or Space Designer settings.

Setting Sharing Preferences

You use the Sharing preferences to define which settings you want to share, and to
back up your data on .Mac.

To open the Sharing preferences, do one of the following:

m

Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Sharing

m

Click the Preferences button in the Arrange Toolbar, then choose Sharing from the
menu.

m

Click the Action menu at the bottom of the Library and choose Sharing Preferences.

Sharing is essentially broken down into two tasks:

 Data Access: Browse your, or other user, data on a local network or a .Mac account.
 Data Sharing: Share your data over a local network or via a .Mac account.

You can access data shared on a .Mac account even when the user who provided the
data is not online.

When data is shared over a local network, the user who provided the data—or more
accurately, the computer (user account) that the shared data originated from—must be
online.
