aliasing A digital artefact that occurs when the sample material contains frequencies higher than one-half of the sample rate.

analog signal A description of data that consists of an endlessly varying voltage level, that represents audio information. Analog signals must be digitized, or captured, for use in Logic. Compare with digital.

anchor point The start point of the audio file that an audio region is based on. Also see Sample Editor.

Apple Loops An audio file format, commonly used for recurring rhythmic musical elements or elements suitable for repetition. Apple Loops contain tags and transients that are used by Logic for time stretching and pitch shifting tasks. These tags also allow you to quickly locate files by instrument, genre, or mood in the Loop Browser.
