Configuring Logic Pro for Surround
Before you can create a project in surround, you need to tell Logic Pro which outputs of
your interface are connected to which speaker. If actually recording in surround, you’ll
also need to define what inputs of your audio interface will be used. This is done in the
Input and Output tabs of the Surround preferences.
To open the Surround preferences, do one of the following:
m Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio, then click the Surround tab.
m Click the Preferences button in the Arrange Toolbar, choose Audio from the menu, then
click the Surround tab.
m Use the Open Surround Preferences key command.
Setting the Surround Preferences
The Surround Preferences window features three tabs: Input, Output, and Bounce
Extensions. All three surround tabs are linked, but can be adjusted independently.
Note: As a general rule, the default settings for each surround format should meet your
needs in all but the rarest circumstances.
To set the Surround channel assignment:
1 Click either the Input or Output tab.
2 Choose the Surround format you want to work in from the Show As menu.
This automatically sets the input and output channel menus in the Assignment
sections of both the Input and Output tabs.
