Apple Logic Express 7 - Manual (Page 52)

52 Chapter 1 Using Logic
• Preset Templates folder (/Library/Application Support/Logic/Song Templates/
Autoload or Autoload.lso)
• User Templates folder (~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Song Templates/
Autoload or Autoload.lso)
• the Application folder (Logic 6 series/Autoload or Autoload.lso).
• If no Autoload Song exists in any of the aforementioned locations, or the Option key
is pressed, the empty default song (besed on the .plist created by the Logic Setup
Assistant) will be launched.
Note: The search for the Autoload Song, as you’ll note from the above, takes place in
the Templates folders before searching the Application folder. In earlier Logic versions,
the Autoload Song needed to be placed inside the Logic program folder. While this can
still be done, we encourage you to move your existing Autoload Song into the User
Templates folder (see “About Templates” on page 56).
If the Create Project Folder box is selected, followed by a click on the OK button, a
project will be opened, rather than a song or template. This occurs in the following
fashion:
• A folder is created in the chosen location, with the desired name—as typed in by
you.
• A song is opened (either the empty default song if no template was chosen, or the
chosen template song).
• This song is saved into the newly-created folder.
• An Audio Files folder is created within the new folder.
• The audio recording path is automatically routed to the new Project > Audio Files
folder.
The checkboxes below the Set button represent the Project settings (these can be
changed at any time). The project settings determine how files imported from external
locations (locations outside the project folder) should be handled. They either:
• stay where they are (if the checkbox is unchecked)
• or are copied into the project folder (if the checkbox is checked).
Audio files are automatically moved as soon as they are imported into the Audio
window (resulting in a sample rate conversion, if necessary).
Note: The Convert Audio File Sample Rate When Importing option is designed to allow
the automatic sample rate conversion of imported audio files.
EXS instruments and samples are only moved into the project folder when the song is
saved.
If you disable the Copy EXS Samples to Project Folder option, only the EXS instrument
files will be automatically copied to the project folder when saving, not the samples
associated with the EXS instrument files.
