58 Chapter 1 Using Logic
Song Information Window
The Song Information window can be opened via Options > Song Information.
It contains information about various aspects of your song. This information might not
be directly useful for you, but you may be asked to provide this information (in case
there is problem with a specific song) by the Support Team.
Saving Songs
When you select File > Save (or Command-S), the current song will be saved—with its
current name intact.
If you don’t wish to overwrite the last version of the song saved with this name (which
is what will happen if you use File > Save or Command-S), make use of the File > Save As
or File > Save a Copy As options. In the ensuing file selector dialog, you can enter a new
name for the song (and select a new directory or even create a new folder).
• File > Save as—The next time you save using the straight Save (Command-S)
function, the new file name and path will be used.
• File > Save a Copy As—The next time you save with the straight Save (Command-S)
function, the existing file name and path will continue to be used. The “copy” is a
replica of the existing song, stored in a different location. It does not update the file
save path. Save a Copy as is ideal for archiving and moving data.
Important: Songs saved in version 7 of Logic cannot be opened in older versions.
Export Song as Logic 4.8 Song
Choose File > Export > Song as Logic 4.8 Song to save your song in Logic 4.8 format. This
allows versions prior to version 5 to open a song file. Please note that not all song
information can be stored in the older format, including any track automation data
(see “Automation—Introduction” on page 225). You may wish to convert track
automation data into Region data first, should you need to export in 4.8 Song format.
