input monitoring This function allows you to hear incoming audio, when audio tracks are playing, record-enabled, or recording. Simply click the Input Monitoring button on Arrange audio tracks to enable or disable input monitoring.

Insert slot A panel on Logic channel strips where you can patch in (insert) an effect plug-in.

Inspector Area at the left edge of the Arrange and editors, containing the Parameter boxes and channel strips (Arrange) of the selected track. Also see Parameter boxes. The Inspector area updates to reflect the parameters relevant to the window with key focus.

instrument channel Logic supports the use of software based instruments. Software instrument plug-ins are inserted into the Instrument slot of instrument channels. Software instrument recording takes place on instrument tracks in the Arrange. Playback of these tracks is routed via the instrument channel shown in the Mixer (or to the left of the Arrange window).

interface 1) A hardware component such as a MIDI or audio device that allows Logic to interface (connect) with the outside world. You need an audio or MIDI interface to get sound or MIDI into and out of your computer. Also see audio interface. 2) A term that is used to describe graphical elements within Logic that you can interact with. An example would be the Arrange, where graphical interface elements such as regions are interacted with to create a project, within the overall Logic interface.

key The scale used in a piece of music, centered around a specific pitch. The specified pitch is called the root of the key. Can also refer to a black or white key on a musical (MIDI) keyboard.

key command Function which can be executed by pressing a specific key (or key combination) on your computer keyboard or MIDI controller.

Key Commands window The Key Commands window is used for the assignment of key commands to computer keys or to MIDI messages.

key focus The selected, active window, is said to have key focus in Logic. Many key commands will only function when a window has key focus. The Inspector also updates to reflect the parameters of a window with key focus.

latency You may notice a delay between playing your keyboard and hearing the sound. This is a form of latency. A variety of factors contribute to latency, including the audio interface in use, audio and MIDI drivers. One factor under your control, however, is the I/O buffer size, which is set in the Devices preferences.

level meter A meter that monitors audio input or output levels to or from your computer. You use the level meters in Logic when recording, arranging, and editing audio files, and when creating a mix.

8 specifications

The Apple iPhone 8, introduced in September 2017, marked a significant evolution in the company's smartphone lineup, bridging the design elements of the past with cutting-edge technology. The iPhone 8 brought several notable features and advancements that enhanced user experience and performance.

One of the most striking design elements of the iPhone 8 is its glass back, a departure from the aluminum unibody design of its predecessors. This transition not only provided a fresh aesthetic appeal but also enabled wireless charging, allowing users to power their devices conveniently without the need for cables. The iPhone 8 supports Qi wireless charging standards, making it compatible with a wide array of wireless charging pads.

Under the hood, the iPhone 8 is powered by Apple’s A11 Bionic chip, which features a six-core CPU. This powerful processor significantly improved the iPhone's speed and efficiency when compared to previous models. The A11 Bionic was designed for machine learning applications and includes a dedicated neural engine, allowing for better performance in tasks such as image recognition and augmented reality experiences.

The display of the iPhone 8 is a 4.7-inch Retina HD display, boasting True Tone technology, which adjusts the screen's white balance based on the ambient light. This feature not only enhances color accuracy but also improves comfort for users by reducing eye strain in various lighting conditions. With a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, the display delivers sharp and vibrant visuals.

Camera capabilities on the iPhone 8 also received significant upgrades. The rear 12-megapixel camera features optical image stabilization, providing clearer photos and smoother video recording, even in low light conditions. The introduction of new color filters and a larger sensor allowed for improved photo quality. The front-facing 7-megapixel camera supports 1080p HD video recording and features advanced portrait mode, offering users new ways to create professional-quality selfies.

Another important aspect of the iPhone 8 is its robust security features. The device continued to use Touch ID for biometric authentication, ensuring that users' data remained secure. Additionally, the iPhone 8 was water and dust resistant, rated IP67, which added an extra layer of durability.

In summary, the Apple iPhone 8 successfully combined innovative technology with timeless design. Its wireless charging, powerful A11 Bionic chip, enhanced camera features, and sturdy build quality made it a compelling choice for consumers looking to experience the best of Apple’s engineering prowess.
