Additional Options
When Show Advanced Tools is selected, additional options providing further expert
capabilities become available, and can be selected individually depending on the type
of tasks you want to perform. When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced
preferences pane, the following additional options are also available:
Audio: Use the Audio File Editor, for destructive editing of audio files and advanced
configuration options.
Surround: Use surround capabilities (in the Mixer) with a surround speaker setup.
MIDI: Use the Environment for MIDI signal flow control and real-time processing of MIDI
data.
Score: Use additional features in the Score Editor, including the ability to assign staff
styles to individual regions and create chord grids.
Control Surface: Create and edit control surface assignments.
Advanced edit: Use advanced editing functions, including the Tempo Interpreter and the
ability to create aliases.
(If any advanced features you need aren’t available, open the Advanced preferences pane
and select the Show Advanced Tools checkbox, then select any option to turn it on.)
For users upgrading from earlier versions of Logic Pro, any additional options used by an
existing project are turned on by default when you open the project.
Turn on Show Advanced Tools
1. Choose Logic Pro > Preferences > Advanced.
2. Select the Show Advanced Tools checkbox.
Turn on Additional Options
1. Choose Logic Pro Preferences > Advanced.
2. Select any of the specific additional options you want to use.
Some features are only available when Show Advanced Tools is turned on, or when the
corresponding Additional Options checkbox is selected. If a project makes use of features
(for example, Track Stacks) that can only be created or edited when the Show Advanced
Tools checkbox is selected, items using the feature will still play when Show Advanced
Tools is turned off.
