Learning the Logic Interface
In this section, you’ll open a GarageBand song in Logic and learn how the main features
of the Logic interface compare with those of GarageBand. You’ll learn how the two
applications are similar, and discover some of the additional features included in Logic.
Opening a GarageBand Song in Logic
If you are familiar with GarageBand, the easiest way to start working in Logic is to open
a GarageBand song in Logic. If you are opening Logic for the first time, be sure to set
up Logic using the Setup Assistant before proceeding. For more information about
using the Setup Assistant, see the
Logic Getting Started Guide.
To open a GarageBand song in Logic:
1
Open Logic.
2
Choose File > Open (or press Command-O), then browse to the song’s location in the
Open dialog.
3
Click Open.
When you open a song in Logic, the basic layout is similar to GarageBand, but many
details appear different. As in GarageBand, the main window consists of a timeline
containing tracks and regions, a column on the left with track headers, and a ruler above
the timeline indicating beats and measures. Running vertically through the timeline area
is a line showing where the song starts playing when you click the Play button. Below the
main window is a smaller window with transport controls and a time display.
