Learning About Projects
Logic Express requires a project to be opened or created before you can begin working.
This is similar to using a word-processing application, which requires a document to be
opened before you can begin typing. Logic Express, like word processors, also allows you
to have multiple documents (projects) open simultaneously.
A project file is the main Logic Express document type. It contains all MIDI events and
parameter settings (apart from the preferences and key commands) plus information
about the audio and video files to be played. It is important to note that a project file
points to your audio and video files, which are stored as separate entities on your hard
disk. The audio and video files are not saved with the project.
