Project Settings and Preferences

Preferences

The settings made in the Preferences window are saved in a general preference file,
stored in the ~/Library/Preferences/Logic folder. Preference settings apply to all
projects.

A separate preference file, also stored in the same location, is made for control surfaces.

Note: You can’t open either preference file directly. Any changes must be made in
Logic Express.

If you accidentally or intentionally erase the preference files, Logic Express will create
new preferences files the next time it is opened. All parameters will be reset to their
default values.

To initialize all preferences (but not your key commands) directly in Logic Express:

m

Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Initialize All Except Key Commands (or use the
corresponding key command).

Global Preferences

The Global preferences contain the Project Handling, Editing, Cycle, Catch, and Caps
Lock Keys tabs.

To open the Global preferences, do one of the following:

m

Choose Logic Express > Preferences > Global (or use the corresponding key command).

m

Click the Preferences button in the Arrange Toolbar, and choose Global from the pop-
up menu.

Tip: You can also use the default Open Preferences key command to open the
Preferences window (the most recently accessed preference pane is shown).
