Recording Light
Set up Recording Light in Logic Pro
The Recording Light control surface plug-in enables you to control an external light or sign,
warning visitors not to enter the recording studio before or during recording. Logic Pro
sends a MIDI signal to switch on the external device when a track is record-enabled or
when recording starts. Logic Pro sends another MIDI signal to switch off the device when
tracks are made record-safe or when recording stops.
Note: This control surface plug-in requires additional hardware that is not included with
Logic Pro.
Recording Light needs to be manually added to your setup.
Set up Recording Light
1. Choose Logic Pro > Control Surfaces > Setup.
2. Choose Install from the New menu.
3. Select Recording Light from the list in the Install window.
4. Click the Add button.
Note: While Recording Light can be added anywhere, it is suggested that you use it in
its own control surface group.
Recording Light parameters in Logic Pro
Because Recording Light hardware is not actually a control surface but rather a simple
MIDI-controlled display device, all changes to its behavior are made in the Device
Parameter area at the left of the Setup window.
