Choosing Channel Strip Settings
You can quickly change the instrument, effects, and other parameters for a channel
strip by choosing a new channel strip setting. You can choose a new channel strip
setting in one of two ways: by using the Channel Strip Settings browser, or by using
the Settings button at the top of the channel strip.
To choose a channel strip setting from the Channel Strip Settings browser:
1 In the Channel Strips area, select the channel strip you want to change.
The selected channel strip is highlighted with a blue outline, and available settings for
the channel strip appear in the Channel Strip Settings browser.
In the Channel Strip Settings browser, Logic Studio content appears in a series of
numbered folders with different instrument categories. If you have GarageBand
installed, or have one or more Jam Packs installed on your computer, those settings
appear below the Logic Studio settings.
2 Click a category from the column on the left, then click subcategories from the
columns on the right until you see the settings you want.
You can select a recent channel strip setting by clicking Recent in the column on the
left, and then selecting a recent setting from the second column. As in Logic Pro 8, you
can also choose a new channel strip setting from the Settings menu at the top of the
channel strip.
To choose a channel strip setting from the Settings menu:
m Click the Settings button at the top of the channel strip, then choose a new setting
from the menu that appears.
Note: When you choose new channel strip settings from the Settings menu, the
selected channel strip setting does not appear selected in the Channel Strip Settings
browser.
You can also search for channel strip settings by name.
To search for channel strip settings in the Channel Strip Settings browser:
1 Choose Find from the Action menu in the upper-right corner of the Channel Strip
Settings browser.
2 In the dialog that appears, type the text you want to search for.
The channel strip with the text in its name appears selected in the browser.
