Apple Logic (1.1) - Manual (Page 7)

Preface An Introduction to Logic 7
If you wish to learn more about digital audio and the elements of a music project, read
Appendix A , “Audio and MIDI Basics,”. Appendix B provides information about Audio
and MIDI in Mac OS X. Appendix C will guide you through the connection of Logic to a
mixer and using Logic as a mixer. Appendix D will help you to optimize your computer
for music production.
Additional, more comprehensive information can be found in the reference manuals
and in Logic’s Online Help system. We recommend that you read the relevant portions
of the reference manuals that interest you, in addition to this guide.
The Onscreen Help system—accessible from Logic’s Help menu—is fundamentally the
reference manuals in electronic form. It has the advantage of being at your fingertips
when you need it, and is also searchable.
Even if you’re the type who just doesn’t like reading manuals, we ask that you read the
next section. It will provide you with essential information on the copy protection
hardware used by Logic, the XSKey.
