Chapter 2 Getting Started With Logic 15
Getting to Know Logic’s Arrange Window
The Tutorial song is compact and only contains a small arrangement fragment. It is
principally intended to introduce you to some important elements of Logic. After
loading the Tutorial song, you will see the following onscreen:
Transport Field
This is where you control the operation of Logic. You can start and stop playback, turn
on Cycle (a cycle is a looped portion of the song), set drop in/out points for recording,
adjust synchronization settings, and adjust several other options. This field can be
shown/hidden via the
View > Transport menu option.
Local Menu Bar
Given Logic’s extensive range of functions, it would be impractical to display all of them
in the main menu bar. Therefore all many Logic windows provide a local menu bar,
ensuring that only relevant functions are available in each window.
Bar Ruler
The Bar Ruler displays Logic’s time axis. Here, you can set the Cycle area graphically with
the mouse (in our Tutorial song the Cycle area runs from bar 9 to bar 25), set markers,
or jump to any desired song position by clicking in the lower part of the ruler.
