1 An Introduction to Logic Pro
Logic Pro is a sophisticated, fully-featured audio and MIDI
application that provides all the tools you need to create
professional-quality music productions.
Logic Pro allows you to record audio and MIDI, edit audio loops plus MIDI and software
instrument parts, add high-quality effects, and mix your music in stereo or Surround.
The final mix can be exported to one or more standard audio files, or burned to an
audio CD, or DVD that can be played on any computer, home stereo, or imported into
other applications and devices.
Some of the things you can do with Logic Pro include:
 Record MIDI information via connected MIDI input devices, such as keyboards, and
play back this information via any connected MIDI device (such as a synthesizer
keyboard or module) or the integrated Logic Pro software instruments.
 Create, arrange, and edit MIDI projects, and print out musical notation via a printer
connected to your computer.
 Digitally record acoustic and electric instruments, or vocal performances, into your
projects, and process these audio recordings with a huge array of built-in real time
effects.
 Make use of the integrated software instruments, including: Sculpture, Ultrabeat,
ES1, ES2, EVP88, EVB3, EVD6, EXS24 mkII, over a dozen high-quality GarageBand
instruments, or third-party Audio Unit instruments.
 Load projects or channel strips from GarageBand, and enhancing them with the
additional processing and editing possibilities afforded by Logic Pro.
 Mix your MIDI and audio tracks, including effects and software instrument settings,
via a sophisticated total recall mix automation system. Logic Pro includes high-
quality effects that you can use in your projects. You can also install and use third-
party Audio Units effects and instruments.
 Bounce (mix down) all audio data, including instruments, effects and mix automation
settings, to stereo or multiple Surround format files for mastering or further
processing,.
