The scheme of things

The book and accompanying CD are integral parts of Creative Projects with Logic Audio . Much of the time, you will need to use both along with a copy of Logic 5, or higher, running on your computer. This is most certainly the case with the chapters containing projects. Other chapters containing general reading matter also contain references to examples on the CD but make sense away from the computer.

If you already possess a working knowledge of Logic and MIDI sequencing, then you may be tempted to skip the first few chapters and projects. That's OK but there is much to be gained , from a musical standpoint, by working through them.

Where possible, for clarity, all Logic functions are referred to using the program's menus . For example, the instruction 'Turn the loops into real copies' is followed by the menu command in square brackets: [Functions > Sequence Parameter > Turn Loops to Real Copies...] (Figure 0.1). Power users can speed things up by using the many keyboard shortcuts and alternative methods available (see Appendixes 2 and 3). There's usually more than one way of doing things in Logic!

NOTE

Some features in the book and on the CD will be missing from Emagic's budget version, Logic Audio (previously Logic Silver). However, the Logic Audio user will still find a great deal that's useable here. Where appropriate, three mixes are supplied on the CD, Platinum, Gold and Silver, each using slightly different plug- ins. However, should a plug-in not be found, just replace it with an equivalent included with your particular version.
