regions, plus actual MIDI data (in MIDI regions). Further settings and preferences are
also stored with the project document.

with a project, including audio files, sampler instruments and samples, video, and other
data.
project settings The project settings are a collection of program settings that are
specific to the current project. These are different to the global preferences that affect
all Logic Pro projects (see Preferences Window).
protected track A protected track cannot have its contents moved or changed.
punch in, punch out Going into and out of record to replace a section of an existing
recording. This process can be automated in Logic Pro. Also see Autopunch.
quantization Time-correction of note positions by moving them to the nearest point
on a selectable grid (this is chosen in the Quantization menu). When quantization is
applied to any selected event or region, Logic Pro will move all note events to align
perfectly with the nearest grid position. Logic Pro quantization is a non-destructive
playback operation, allowing different quantize values to be auditioned while listening
to your music.
Quantization menu Menu found throughout Logic Pro that determines the current
quantization grid. See entries below.
Quantize button Button labeled with a Q. Performs the quantize operation (chosen in
the Quantization menu) on selected events. Also see Quantize tool and quantization.
Quantize tool Tool labeled with a Q. It is used to apply quantization to specific
(selected) events, using the quantize value specified in the Quantization menu of the
Piano Roll or Event List editors.
QuickTime QuickTime is an Apple cross-platform standard for digitized, data-
compressed video playback and encoding. QuickTime movies can be run in a Logic Pro
window or on a global Video track, in sync with the project. Whenever you move the
playhead, the film follows and vice versa.
RAM Abbreviation for random-access memory. Computer memory capacity, measured
in megabytes (MB), determines the amount of data the computer can process and
temporarily store at any given moment.
