Set up Recording Light
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 o 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
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.
