ÂArrange area: This is the arrangement workspace. It can contain any number of MIDI or audio regions, aligned on horizontal track lanes (shown in the track list).

ÂPlayhead: The playhead indicates the current project position, and moves from left to right as the project is playing. The playhead can also be used as a target for paste operations.

ÂInspector: The Inspector is used to adjust various aspects of track or region playback. Channel strips—for the selected track, and its destination channel—are displayed at the bottom of the Inspector.

ÂEditor buttons: The Mixer, Sample Editor, Piano Roll, Score, and Hyper Editor buttons open or close the corresponding editor window above the Transport bar—the Arrange area is resized to accommodate the editor.

ÂTransport bar: Used to control playback and recording operations.

ÂZoom controls: Drag the Zoom control sliders to change the horizontal and vertical magnification factor of the window contents.

Creating Tracks

Logic works on the basis of tracks, much like a multi-track tape machine. You can see and access these tracks in the Arrange window track list.

If you followed the steps outlined above when opening Logic, the project will contain a single audio track, called Audio 1. There are two other track types that can be used to create arrangements; instrument and external MIDI tracks.

To create a few new tracks:

1Click the + button directly above the track list.

2In the New Tracks dialog, click the Audio button (if not already active).

3 Highlight the number “1” in the numeric field at the top of the dialog, and type in “3”.
