26 Chapter 2 Instruments and Effects
Logic’s Bounce function allows the entire Audio Instrument track to be recorded as an
audio file. This “Bounced” audio file can then be assigned (as an audio region) to a
standard Audio track, allowing you to reassign the available processing (CPU) power for
further synthesizer tracks. For details, please refer to the Bounce chapter in the Logic
Reference manual.
You can also make use of the Freeze function to capture the output of an Audio
Instrument track, again saving processing power. For details please refer to the Freeze
section, in the Logic Reference manual.
Accessing Multiple Outputs
Logic supports the multiple outputs of the EXS24 and all Audio Unit (AU) compatible
instruments. In addition to the Mono and Stereo submenus of the Audio Instrument
plug-in menu, a Multi Channel submenu lists all Instruments that offer multiple outputs.
A plug-in needs to be inserted from the Multi Channel submenu, in order to access its
individual outputs.
Note: Not all plug-ins (both Logic and third-party) are multi-output capable. If the
Instrument does not appear in the Multi Channel submenu, it is not equipped with
multiple output facilities.
The first two outputs of a multiple output instrument are always played back as a
stereo pair by the Instrument channel in which the plug-in is inserted. Additional
outputs (3 and 4, 5, and 6, and so on) are accessed via the Aux Objects.
