This will automatically create another track of the same type as the one above it.

Simply double click the empty space in the Track Header section directly below the bottom most track header in your session.

Those changes can also be made at any time once a track has been added via the Input and Output slots on that track’s channel strip.Īlternatively, there are a few even quicker ways for adding tracks I personally couldn’t go without: The Input and Output settings are simply a quick way to make those adjustments before adding the track.

Drummer is like an auto-virtual drummer for your session that can be customized to play grooves particular to the vibe you’re after with quite a large selection of drummers, grooves and kits to choose from. This is how we load up Logic’s Drummer tracks. They will also automatically show you all the effects chains (or channel strip settings) for various guitar/bass sounds in the Library when created.ĭrummer Tracks are special to Logic Pro X. Guitar or Bass Tracks are essentially the same as Audio Tracks but with pre-loaded effects specific to recording guitars and bass.

Software instrument Tracks are used for all your virtual instruments and samplers, including the ones that come up with Logic and any third-party ones you might install down the road.Įxternal MIDI Tracks are basic MIDI tracks that you can use to send riffs, patterns, beats and more to your external MIDI and USB MIDI devices like modern synthesizers and sequencers.

These tracks allow you to set the input to correspond with the physical input– for example a mic or guitar plugged into input 1 on your interface– and record audio. Logic supports all of the major track types along with a few special to LPX:Īudio Tracks are for guitars, vocals and other physical instruments plugged into your audio interface and computer. A channel strip houses some basic controls like volume levels for your track and lets you add FX and more. Each track is represented by a Track Header along the left side of the Tracks Area of the Workspace and a corresponding “ channel strip” in the Inspector and Mixer. So if our song has a vocal, a guitar, and a virtual instrument, for example, we’d need to create 3 tracks, one for each of those. Tracks are essentially the horizontal lanes on our Workspace timeline that contain the information for each part/instrument in your song. Now that you have a handle on the Workspace and where things are located after the first installment of Logic Pros 101, creating Tracks is one of the first things you’ll need to do to get your song off the ground.
