Chapter 21 Song Settings and Preferences 643

• Search files using: Search engine Only instructs Logic to search for every file on all

disks, when a song or EXS instrument is opened, and its respective audio files cannot

be found. Thus, every possible matching file with the right name will be found, but

the search process takes a relatively long time—depending on the number of files

and number, and size, of disks to be searched. This search method was used by Logic

5 and earlier versions.

• Search files using: Project Manager Database Only instructs Logic to search for the file

using the Project Manager’s “knowledge” about the location of every file. If you

haven’t scanned the appropriate folders or haven’t performed Functions > Check for

modified or deleted files (within the Project Manager window) since the problem was

created, the search may fail. The benefit of this setting is its speed. If a song or EXS

instrument fails to find its associated files, you should rescan and Check for modified

or deleted files.

• Search files using: Project Manager Database and Search Engine instructs Logic to use

both strategies for searching. The advantage: Logic will not display an error message

while opening a song or EXS instrument if the necessary audio files are on your disks

at all. The disadvantage: you will not recognize if an audio file is missing from the

Project Manager’s Database.

Global Preferences: Caps Lock Keys

Enable Caps Lock Keys

A further Enable Caps Lock Keys option allows you to completely enable or disable the

Caps Lock Keyboard functionality.

Space bar acts as Sustain Pedal

Should you wish to use the Space Bar key command (usually Start/Stop), rather than as

the Sustain function for the Caps Lock Keyboard (when active), you can disable the

Space bar acts as Sustain Pedal option.

Show window when active

After familiarizing yourself with the operation of the Caps Lock Keyboard for a while,

you may wish to prevent the window from appearing when using it. To do so, disable

the Show window when active option in the Preferences > Global > Caps Lock Keys

menu.
