Overview of this book

Logic Pro is Apple’s flagship application for music creation, found in many professional music studios across the globe. It is a powerful digital audio workstation that comes with all the software tools that you need to create music that sounds great. In the previous version, Logic Pro 10.5, Apple had added impressive features to what was already a full package of tools, loops, FX plug-ins, and software instruments. Providing a comprehensive introduction if you’re new to Mac computer music creation, this practical guide will show you how to use Logic Pro and have you up to speed in no time. You’ll not only understand what Apple’s Logic Pro software can do but also get hands-on with using it to accomplish various musical tasks. The book starts by getting you up and running with the basic terminologies. As you progress, you’ll explore how to create audio and MIDI musical parts. To build on your knowledge further, the book will guide you through developing an automated mix. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to bounce mixes and audio files for distribution. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with Logic Pro and have the skills you need to create professional-quality music.

  1. Create a Cycle for the eight bars to set the locators.
  2. Hold down the Ctrl key and the mouse on the cycled area in the Bar Ruler and choose Swap Left and Right Locators. This creates a Skip Cycle.
  3. Press play to start playback a few bars before and note that when you reach bar 13 it immediately jumps to bar 21, skipping those eight bars:
