Chapter 1 Logic Control—Basics 25
Get Into the Habit of Using Markers
Not much more can be said. Markers allow you to quickly “jump” from location to
location in a “project”. The Logic Control features a number of shortcuts which allow
you to rapidly switch between Markers.
Markers are very useful for the creation/selection of Cycle regions and a number of
other tasks, such as Drop In and Replace.
If you tend to follow a particular song structure, or like to work in “chunks” of bars (4, 8,
16 bars etc.), then set up a number of Markers at suitable locations in your Autoload
song.
Set a Default Song File Name and Path
The SAVE button on the Logic Control will automatically launch the File Save dialog.
Once the song has been saved once, pressing the SAVE button will incrementally save
the song without launching the File Save dialog window.
As soon Logic boots, and the Autoload song is loaded, you should make it a routine to:
• create a new “project” folder, and name it
• save the autoload song—with the same or a similar name to the folder—into the
“project” folder via the Save As menu option.
Set a Default Audio File Name and Path
When an audio track is armed, Logic will ask you to specify a default file name and
path. If this is done at the start of your sessions, it won’t interrupt your creative flow
while recording.
After saving the Autoload—under its new name—into the “project” folder, you should
make it a routine to:
• press the “A” key on your computer keyboard
• set a default audio file name—ideally of the same or a similar name to that of the
project/song
• set the path for the audio files to the “project” folder
Once you’ve completed the Song and File Save steps, press the SAVE button on the
Logic Control, and start recording.
