An Introduction to Logic Pro

The sub-folder structure of all projects is identical, making it easy and consistent to
navigate both your projects and those of other Logic Pro users.

Regions

The main window of Logic Pro is known as the Arrange window. This is the window
that you first see when you open the application, and a project is loaded. This is also
the window that is used for recording, editing, and arranging your projects. Your audio
and MIDI files appear in the Arrange window as rectangular areas called regions. Audio
files are represented by audio regions, MIDI files by MIDI regions.

Audio Regions and Audio Files

Audio regions simply refer to (point to) an underlying audio file. Audio regions are used
as playback markers (start and end points) that can be as long as the entire audio file,
or may only be a few seconds long, playing a small portion of the audio file that they
point to.
