peak 1) The highest level in an audio signal 2) portions of a digital audio signal that

exceed 0 dB, resulting in clipping. You can use Logic’s level meter facilities to locate

peaks and remove or avoid clipping. The Search Peak command in the Sample Editor’s

Functions menu searches for the sample bit with the greatest amplitude value in the

currently selected Audio Region.

Pencil tool Tool used to create empty MIDI Regions in the Arrange window. It can also

be used to add Audio Regions to the Arrange window, when used in conjunction with

the Shift key. In the Sample Editor, the Pencil can be used to draw out transient signal

spikes (pops and clicks) in signals.

pink noise A harmonic noise type that contains more energy in the lower frequency

range.

pitch The perceived highness or lowness of a musical sound. Corresponds to the

frequency of the sound wave.

pitch bend message MIDI message transmitted by a keyboard’s pitch bend wheel.

playback Playing an Audio or MIDI Region or an entire arrangement, allowing you to

hear it.

plug-in Software application that enhances the functionality of the main program (in

this case, Logic). Logic’s plug-ins are typically software instruments or effects.

Plug-in window A window that launches when a plug-in is inserted, or the Insert/

Instrument slot is double-clicked. Allows you to interact with the plug-in parameters.

Pointer tool The default Toolbox tool. Used to select and/or edit Regions, events,

menu, or interface items and more in Logic.

this manual) and ticks.

post fader Sends in analog mixers are positioned either before (pre) or after (post) the

fader. Post fader means positioned after the fader in the signal flow, with the level of a

signal going to the Send changing along with the fader movements.

pre fader Sends in analog mixers are positioned either before (pre) or after (post) the

fader. Pre fader means positioned before the fader in the signal flow, so the level of a

signal routed pre fader to a Send remains constant, regardless of any fader movements.

Preferences window A window that is accessed via the Logic > Preferences menu. All

Logic preferences can be set in this window.
