Getting Started With Logic
This chapter provides a basic overview of Logic’s main
working window and the tools that are used for data
interaction and editing.
Before beginning, we’d like to briefly cover what Logic will bring to your computer.
What Is Logic?
Logic incorporates the functionality normally found in an entire professional audio
production studio. All within an intuitive user interface, and all within your computer. It
is an integrated system for composing and producing music. With Logic, you can:
• Record MIDI information via connected MIDI input devices, such as keyboards, and
play back this information via any connected MIDI device or Logic’s integrated
software instruments.
• Create, arrange, and edit MIDI songs, and print out musical notation via a printer
connected to your computer.
• Digitally record acoustic and electric instruments or vocal performances into your
songs, and process these audio recordings with Logic’s in-built real-time effects.
• Make use of the integrated software instruments, including; Sculpture, Ultrabeat, ES1,
ES2, EVP88, EVB3, EVD6, and EXS24, or add third-party Audio Unit instruments to
Logic.
• Load songs or Channel Strip settings from Apple’s GarageBand application, and edit
them, making use of the additional processing and editing possibilities afforded by
Logic.
• Mix your MIDI and audio tracks, including effects and software-based instrument
settings, via a sophisticated total recall mix automation system.
• Bounce all audio data, including effects and mix automation settings, to a stereo (or
multiple Surround format) file(s) for mastering or further processing.
