Glossary 693

Filter button Buttons in the Event List/Track Mixer, that allow you to hide/show

specific event types/channel strip types.

filter slope The filter slope is the steepness, or severity, of filter attenuation. As

examples, a filter slope of 6 dB per octave would sound much softer than a filter slope

of 12 dB per octave.

Find field In many Logic windows you find a field with rounded corners and a

magnifying glass in the left corner. This field allows you to perform text searches. You

can for example find the Find field in the Key Commands window or Apple Loop

Browser.

Finger tool Tool (as used in the Matrix Editor, for example) that looks like a hand with

an extended index finger. This tool allows you to manipulate the length of events or

perform other operations in other areas of the program.

FireWire Apple’s trademark name for the IEEE 1394 standard. A fast and versatile

interface, for example used to connect audio interfaces to computers. FireWire is well

suited to applications that move large amounts of data, and can be used to connect

hard disks, scanners, and other kinds of computer peripherals.

flanger The flanger effect is similar to the chorus effect, where a slightly delayed signal

(which is shorter than that of the Chorus) is fed back into the delay line input. Flanging

makes a sound thicker, and slightly “out of phase”.

float window Window with special status which always “floats” on the surface above

all other windows, but can only be operated with the mouse. Any Logic window can be

opened as a float window by holding down Option while opening it.

Folder A Folder is a container for Regions in the Arrange window. It can contain other

Folders or Regions, much like a folder in the Finder can contain other folders or files.

You can imagine a folder as a song within a song. The inside of a folder looks just like

the Arrange area and Track List in a song. Within a song track, a folder looks like a MIDI

Region with a dotted surface. Folders can be relocated, resized, looped, and aliased just

like Regions. You can create Folders within other Folders, and can think of them as

levels within an arrangement.

frame Unit of time. A second in the SMPTE standard is divided into frames that

correspond to a single still image in a file or video.

Freeze function The Freeze function performs individual offline bounce processes for

each “frozen” track, saving almost 100% of the CPU power used for software

instruments and effect plug-ins. All plug-ins of a track (including software instrument

plug-ins, if applicable, along with all related automation data) are rendered into a

“Freeze file”. You can use the Freeze function on individual Audio or Audio Instrument

tracks.
