Logic Pro 7.1 – File Management (2005-0904) 8 of 9
Open Song - Overview
Launch Logic
When you launch Logic (and the “open most recent song” option is not checked), it will open the Default Song or the Autoload (see launch option
2 – 5 above) as a Template Song into RAM. The song is not saved yet, it exists only in RAM until you:
• “Save” or “Save as”: prompts a file selector box where you can enter a file name and the file location for your song. The song is stored as
Regular Song.
• “Save as Template”: prompts also a file selector box, but this time it will open right into the path
“~/Library/Application Support/Logic/Song
Templates/”
. If you change the location you will be prompted with an error message. If you save the file, a copy of the song will be saved into
the “Song Templates” folder and acts as a Template Song next time you open it. The loaded song still resided in RAM and waits for a regular
“save” or “save as “ command
• “Save as Project…” prompts the “save as project” which is an extended file selector box. You select the name (for the Project Folder and the
Project Song) and the rules regarding the reference of the media file: move – copy – leave. The newly save Song is of course now a Project
Song.
File > New
Using the “New” command opens up the “New” Dialog box with two checkboxes and one popup menu:
• Create project folder unchecked:
o Use song template unchecked: loads the Default Song or Autoload Song as a Template Song into RAM. After that it behaves like
above
o Use song template checked: select a Template Song from the popup menu, which will be loaded as a Template Song into RAM. After
that it behaves like above
• Create project folder checked
o Use song template unchecked: The Default Song or Autoload Song will be saved as a Project Song with the new name you enter, to
the location you choose, and the selected Project setting.
o Use song template checked: The Template Song you choose from the popup menu will be saved as a Project Song with the new name
you enter, to the location you choose, and the selected Project setting.
