Tips on creating MP3 tracks
i
In everyday speech, this format has 
been replaced by the designation 
“MP3”.
i
It is recommended to use MP3 tracks 
with a bit rate of128 kbps or higher and 
with a scan rate of 44.1 kHz or higher. 
Lower rates may impair quality. This is 
particularly true if the sound function 
LOGIC7 Surround
has been
activated.
