Preferences
The settings made in the Preferences window are saved in a general preference file,
stored in the ~/Library/Preferences/Logic folder. Preference settings apply to all
projects.
A separate preference file, also stored in the same location, is made for control surfaces.
Note: You can’t open either preference file directly. Any changes must be made in
Logic Pro.
If you accidentally or intentionally erase the preference files, Logic Pro will create new
preferences files the next time it is opened. All parameters will be reset to their default
values.
To initialize all preferences (but not your key commands) directly in Logic Pro:
m
Choose Preferences > Initialize All Except Key Commands (or use the corresponding
key command).
Global Preferences
The Global preferences contain the Project Handling, Editing, Cycle, Catch, and Caps
Lock Keys tabs.
To open the Global preferences, do one of the following:
m
Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Global (or use the corresponding key command).
m
Click the Preferences button in the Arrange Toolbar, and choose Global from the pop-
up menu.
∏
Tip: You can also use the default Open Preferences key command to open the
Preferences window (the most recently accessed preference pane is shown).
Project Handling Preferences
The Project Handling preferences determine how Logic Pro handles projects.
