118 Chapter 5 Navigating Your Project
 Sample Rate or Punch Locators: Shows the current project sample rate, or punch
recording in/out locators (when punch recording mode is enabled). As with other
Transport bar display fields, you can set the sample rate or punch locators with the
mouse or via direct numerical entry.
 Tempo/Project End: The Tempo display indicates the current playback or recording
speed. The Project End display shows the total number of bars or time. It behaves as
stop playback/recording marker for the project.
 Signature/Division: The (Time) Signature display indicates the current playback or
recording time signature in a standard musical format; 4/4, 5/4, and so on. The
Division display determines the current display (and editing) resolution. A value of
/16 means that a 4/4 bar is divided into 16 sub-sections, or 4 sub beats for each beat
in the bar.
 MIDI Activity (In/Out): Displays incoming and outgoing MIDI data. The MIDI In display
(top) will show chord names for incoming MIDI note data.
 Load Meters (CPU/HD): Click to show CPU load and hard disk throughput load meters.
Double-click to open the load meters as a separate window.
Modes and Functions
The mode buttons and Master Level slider to the right are used for several advanced
recording and playback functions, including repeating project sections, soloing, and
punch recording. The buttons do not immediately trigger an action. Rather, they switch
operating states. The relevant button will illuminate to indicate that the mode is
activated.
 Software Monitoring: Enables software monitoring, allowing you to process external
sources via Logic Express effects. It also enables you to hear external sources while
recording.
 Auto Input Monitoring: Automatically allows you to hear external sources at the audio
inputs.
 Pre Fader Metering: Switches all of the mixer channel meters between pre-fader (the
Level fader on each channel) and post fader modes (when turned off).
 Low Latency Mode: Enables Low Latency mode, allowing you to limit the amount of
delay (latency) caused by some effects.
 Set Left Locator and Set Right Locator: These allow you to directly enter either of the
locator points in a dialog. Also available as key commands.
 Set Left Locator by Playhead and Set Right Locator by Playhead: The current playhead
position is used to define the left or right locator value.
