Apple Logic Pro 7 (TDM Guide) - Manual (Page 6)

6 Preface An Introduction to TDM Systems
We have presumed a level of knowledge on the general concepts of DAWs (Digital
Audio Workstations) and basic computer operations.
We have also assumed that you have connected your TDM system to your Macintosh,
and have installed (and tested) the Pro Tools system software. A correctly installed and
operational ProTools system will ensure a reliable Logic Pro/DAE system.
Note: Please carefully read and follow the instructions of your Digidesign ProTools
installation manual.
The connection of your MIDI interface hardware and any external MIDI synthesizers or
modules is also presumed to be working correctly.
The use of Logic Pro’s functions is discussed in the accompanying Reference and
Onscreen Help system—accessible from the Logic Pro Help menu.
