Event List A list that shows all events or regions in a project. The Event List allows you to
directly manipulate events and regions in a precise, numerical way. It also allows you to add
different types of events.
expander An effect that increases the dynamic range of an audio signal. Compare
compressor.
export To create a version of a file, such as a Logic Pro project, in a different format that
can be distributed and used by other apps.
Fade tool A tool used to create and edit fades, or to change the shape of fade curves.
Filter button A button in the Event List and Mixer that you can use to hide or show specific
event types or channel strip types.
filter Filters are effects used to increase (boost) or attenuate (cut) a specific frequency or
frequency range in an audio signal. For example, a lowpass filter allows frequencies below
the cutoff frequency to pass unaltered, while those above are attenuated. See also cutoff
frequency.
filter slope The steepness, or amount, of filter attenuation (level reduction), typically
measured per octave. For example, a filter slope of 12dB per octave would sound much
more dramatic than a filter slope of 6dB per octave.
Finger tool A tool in the Piano Roll Editor used to edit the length of events.
FireWire Apple trademarked name for the IEEE 1394 standard. A fast and versatile serial
interface, often used to connect audio interfaces and other audio devices to computers.
There are two versions of FireWire:FireWire 400 and FireWire 800, each of which uses a
different connector type. FireWire signals can be transmitted using a Thunderbolt adapter.
flanger An effect similar to the chorus effect, where a slightly delayed signal (which is
shorter than that of the chorus) is fed back into the delay line input. Flanging makes a
sound thicker, and slightly out of phase.
Flex button A button in the Tracks area used to show or hide flex editing controls on audio
track headers. A similar button is also available on audio track headers and in the Audio
Track Editor, to turn flex on or off for the track.
Flex checkbox A checkbox in the Region inspector used to turn flex on or off for selected
audio regions.
Flex editing A process of editing the timing and pitch of notes, beats, and other events in
audio regions. See also Flex Time and Flex Pitch.
flex marker A marker that allows you to alter the timing of audio material.
flex mode A track-based setting that determines how the timing or pitch of your audio is
altered.
Flex PitchA track-based setting that determines how the pitch of your audio material will
be altered.
Flex TimeA setting that simplifies the process of editing the timing of notes, beats, and
other events in audio regions. Flex Time is similar to what is often referred to as elastic
audio in other apps. You can compress or expand the time between specified events in an
audio region without the need for trimming, moving, nudging, or crossfading.
