Glossary 117
EQ Shortened form of equalizer. Equalizers are used to boost or cut frequencies in an
audio signal. There are several types available in Logic.
equalization See EQ
Eraser A tool used for deleting items. Click a selected item to delete it. All other
currently selected items are also deleted.
event Individual MIDI command, such as a note on command. Continuous controller
movements (modulation wheel, for example) produce a quick succession of individual
events with absolute values.
Event List A list that shows all events and Regions of a song. It allows you to directly
manipulate events and Regions in a precise, numerical way. It also allows you to add
different types of Events.
export To create a version of a file, such as a Logic song, in a different format that can
be distributed and used by other applications.
Fade tool Tool in the Arrange Toolbox, used to create a cross-fade. To do so, click and
hold the mouse button and drag across a section where two Audio Regions meet. You
can also drag the Fade tool over the start or end points of a Region to create a fade-in
or fade-out, respectively.
filter effect Filters are effects you can apply to Audio or MIDI Regions (when streamed
or recorded as audio). They are designed to reduce a signal’s energy at a specific
frequency. A true filter always acts as a subtractive device, and doesn’t add anything to
the signal. The names of the individual filters illustrate their function. As an example: A
Low Pass filter allows frequencies that are lower than the cutoff frequency to pass.
float window Window with special status which always “floats” on the surface above
all other windows, but can only be operated with the mouse. Any Logic window can be
opened as a float window by holding down Option while opening it.
frame Unit of time. A second in the SMPTE standard is divided into frames that
correspond to a single still image in a file or video.
Freeze function The Freeze function performs individual offline bounce processes for
each “frozen” track, saving almost 100% of the CPU power used for software
instruments and effect plug-ins. All plug-ins of a track (including software instrument
plug-ins, if applicable, along with all related automation data) are rendered into a
“Freeze file”. You can use the Freeze function on individual Audio or Audio Instrument
tracks.
frequency The number of times a sound signal vibrates each second, measured in
cycles per second, or hertz (Hz).
