Inserting Audio Effects
The internal audio effects of Logic can be inserted into the individual audio channelsby
selecting the desired effect from the hierarchical menu, accessed via the Insert slot(s)
found on each audio channel strip.
To insert an effect:
1
Open the Track Mixer, or launch the Audio layer of the Environment (Screenset 3 of the
default Song). Alternately, use the Arrange channel strip.
2
Once a mixing surface is open, click-hold on any of the Insert slots on the desired audio
channel.
3
A hierarchical pull-down menu will open, displaying the various effects, grouped in
categories. Usually, you would insert effects from the top slot down.
4
Highlight the category, then the effect name from the menu listing, and release the
mouse button. The Insert slot will turn blue, with the name of the selected effect
displayed, and a Plug-in window will launch.
5
To remove a plug-in from an Insert slot, click-hold on the desired slot and select No
Effect from the menu.
Note: Further information about Inserts and the use of plug-ins can be found in the
first part of the Logic Pro/Express 7 Plug-In Reference .
