bounce To process MIDI or audio regions with any applied effects, such as delay or
compression, combining (rendering) them into an audio file. In Logic Pro, you can choose
between real-time and offline bouncing. Offline bouncing is faster, but doesn’t allow you to
apply live automation or record real-time audio input. You can also bounce to several files
when performing a Surround bounce. See also surround.
Bounce button The button you click to bounce the output of any output channel to an
audio file. See also bounce.
bpm Abbreviation for beats per minute. A measure of the tempo of a musical piece. For
example, 120bpm means that in one minute, there will be 120 musical beats (quarter
notes). See also tempo.
Broadcast Wave See Wav and Wave.
BrowsersAn area that appears to the right of the Tracks area when you click the Browsers
button in the control bar. The Browsers area contains the Project Audio Browser and
All Files Browser, providing access to all media types supported by Logic Pro. In earlier

bus A type of signal routing that sends audio to aux channel strips for processing or
submixing tasks.

backward compatibility with projects created in older versions of Logic. Aux channel strips
perform the functions that the bus channel strips performed in earlier versions of the app.

Pro, you can bypass a plug-in by either clicking a plug-in’s Bypass button in the channel
strip or the Bypass button in the plug-in window.

connection between Environment objects.

compressed or uncompressed audio files of (almost) any size, sample rate, or bit depth.
The CAF file format can handle audio recordings of around three hours in length (at a
44.1kHz sample rate—shorter at higher sample rates).
Camera tool A tool in the Score Editor used to select and export sections of the score as
an image or PDF file.

that is producing a sine wave. The carrier frequency is modulated by the modulator.
