track A horizontal row in the Arrange that contains either audio or MIDI regions that can be played back over time. Each track has a specified destination (a channel strip) that data is routed to. Logic allows hundreds of tracks to be used in a project.

track arming See record enable.

track list Situated to the left of the Arrange. Displays the channel strips assigned to various tracks as well as Track Solo, Mute, and other buttons.

Track Protect button The button featuring the lock icon, shown in the Arrange track list: allows/disallows further edits to tracks. Also see protected track.

Transport bar A field shown at the bottom of the Arrange window, used to control recording and playback functions. The Transport bar offers Record, Pause, Play, Stop, and Rewind/Forward buttons plus other functions. You can also open independent Transport bar windows by choosing Window > Transport (Command-7).

transposition Transposition is the act of changing the pitch of an audio or MIDI region (or event) by a number of semitones.

Undo function Function which reverses the previous editing operation. The Undo History allows multiple undo steps to be made.

velocity Force at which a MIDI note is struck; controlled by the second data byte of a note event.

Velocity tool This tool, found in the Logic MIDI editors, allows the velocity of individual, or grouped, note events to be adjusted.

WAV, WAVE The primary audio file format used by Windows-compatible computers. In Logic, all recorded and bounced WAV files are in Broadcast Wave format, which includes high-resolution timestamp information that stores positional information. This makes it easy to align these files in other audio and video applications.

waveform A visual representation of an audio signal. Waveform graphics run from left to right, and are centered on a horizontal line. Louder portions of the waveform (amplitude peaks) are indicated as taller spikes or higher curves in the waveform.

wet/dry mix Refers to the ratio of a signal that effects have been added to (wet), and the original, unprocessed signal (dry).

zero crossing A point in an audio file where the waveform crosses the zero amplitude axis. If you cut an audio file at a zero crossing there will be no click at the cut point.

zoom An action that enlarges (zooms in on) or shrinks (zooms out from) the display in a Logic window. The Zoom tool, and the zoom controls found in the lower left and upper right corners of windows, are both used for zooming tasks. Also see zoom control and zoom level.

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.
