Changing a Channel Strip Setting
You can quickly change the instrument, effects, and other parameters for a channel
strip by selecting a new setting from the Channel Strip Settings browser. The browser
shows available settings for the currently selected channel strip.
To select a new channel strip setting:
1 In the Channel Strips area, select the channel strip you want to change.
The selected channel strip is highlighted, and available settings for the channel strip
appear in the Channel Strip Settings browser. In the Channel Strip Settings browser,
Logic Studio content appears as a series of numbered folders with different instrument
categories. If you have GarageBand or have one or more Jam Pack collections installed
on your computer, those settings appear below the Logic Studio settings.
2 Click a category from the column on the left, then click subcategories from the
columns on the right until you see the settings you want.
You can also search for channel strip settings by name, reset the current channel strip,
and perform other functions from the Channel Strip Settings browser. For more
information about the Channel Strip Settings browser, see “Choosing Channel Strip
Settings” on page 53.
Click a category in this
column to see the
available choices.
Click the channel strip
setting you want to use from
the columns to the right.
