To the left, a track inspector window shows the mixer channel strip for the individual track, plus the track's output bus-be it the master stereo or 5.1 surround bus, or an aux. Each track in the arrange window has volume and pan controls.īelow that is a multi-mode window that can display the mixer, a piano roll, a score editor, or a sample editor. The top right portion of the screen contains the arrange window, which is where you'll do most of your composing and editing. The Library contains all available media content it's on the left and easily collapsible. I'll try to hit a few of the highlights, though.įirst, a quick recap: The transport is located at the top of the screen and away from any keyboards, mixing surfaces, or other things you may have sitting at the bottom of the monitor and blocking part of the view. There's no way I can get to all of the UI improvements in this review-there are hundreds, as detailed in Apple's Release Notes. The main view doesn't see much change in 10.1 (aside from the Mixer, which I'll get to below). Basic tracks are available in several kinds: audio, for recording live instruments MIDI, for recording MIDI data from a keyboard, electronic drum set, or other input device and instrument, which combine the two for use with virtual synthesizers and other plug-in instruments. User InterfaceDespite its immense power, Logic is a simple program to start recording with, because the main screen can include everything you need from start to finish-depending on how you populate it, of course. It's great if you're on a MacBook Pro with just two free USB ports-and USB hubs aren't an answer, because too many audio devices (not to mention other peripherals) prohibit using hubs in their user manuals. Having no copy protection is novel and awesome in the realm of digital audio workstations, where Avid Pro Tools 11 requires a PACE iLok key, and Steinberg Cubase 7 requires its own proprietary eLicenser key. There's no hardware or software copy protection, and your purchase is safely stored in the cloud in case you ever need to reinstall it.
