Summary

You have now been introduced to the concepts of audio and MIDI, and how they differ. You own a Mac and Logic Pro but there is additional hardware that you will want to have to use it effectively. The good news is that it doesn't have to be expensive. You now understand that Logic Pro has both Preferences, which affect all projects, and Project Settings, which are project specific, although some can be saved as defaults. You have learned your choices as to how Logic Pro behaves when opening it, and my personal preference.

In the next chapter, we will become familiar with all the areas in the Logic Pro interface, along with its menus and its terminology. You will learn about how to set Tools in each window, and all the vast content that comes as part of Logic Pro, including sounds and Apple Loops that you can load from the Library.
