Product Overview
Logic Express 8
Next-Generation Interface
A new workspace features a single-window design with retractable panes, customizable
toolbar, shortcut menus, built-in browsers, and dual channel strips. This streamlined
layout eliminates clutter and lets you focus on your music.
Consolidated Arrange window
The Arrange window consolidates edit and browser windows. You can record multiple
takes; cut, move, or stretch audio with sample accuracy; apply channel strip settings;
automate a group fade; or drop chords onto your lead sheet—all from one central
location, without managing multiple windows.
The Arrange window lets you selectively display three additional areas:
• Editing, horizontally tiled below the Arrange area; used for the Mixer, Sample Editor,
Score Editor, Piano Roll Editor, and Hyper Editor
• Media or Lists, vertically tiled to the right of the Arrange (and editing) area; used for
media browsers and list-based editors
• Inspector, vertically tiled to the left of the Arrange (and editing) area; used to display
region and track parameters as well as the new dual channel strips for the selected track
Built-in browsers
Built-in media browsers give you intuitive, rapid access to your content without
opening additional windows or leaving the workspace. The Media area includes
tabs for four media browsers, including the Loop Browser and the Audio Bin.
