Opening Logic Pro
There are several ways to open Logic Pro.
To open Logic Pro
Do one of the following:
µ
Double-click the Logic Pro icon in the Finder > Applications folder.
µ
Click the Logic Pro icon in your Dock.
µ
Double-click a Logic Pro project file.
When you open Logic Pro for the first time, the Templates dialog is displayed, allowing
you to select a template for the project type you want to create. (For more information
on the Templates dialog, see
Creating Projects .) The setup of the Logic Pro interface
depends on the chosen template.
Introducing the Arrange Window
The Arrange window can incorporate all working areas and editors. It features the following
areas, each of which can be displayed or hidden within the Arrange window:
• Toolbar, at the top of the window
• Transport bar, at the bottom of the window
• Editing area, horizontally tiled, below the Arrange area
• Media, Notes, or Lists area, vertically tiled, right of the Arrange (and editing) area
• Inspector, vertically tiled, left of the Arrange (and editing) area
If an area is not visible, clicking the appropriate toolbar or Arrange area button opens it,
and resizes any existing areas to accommodate the new area.
Tip: Many areas can also be opened as separate windows, independent of the Arrange
window. This is done using the Window menu (or with the corresponding key commands)
or by dragging the appropriate area out of the Arrange window.
