meter. You use the level meters when recording, arranging, and editing audio files, and
when creating a mix.
LFO Abbreviation for Low Frequency Oscillator. An oscillator that delivers modulation
signals below the audible frequency range—in the bandwidth that falls between 0.1 Hz and

show vertical lists for the following data types:events, regions, markers, tempo changes,

simultaneously. You can add content or record to cells, control and synchronize cell
playback, and record a Live Loops performance to the Tracks area. See Logic Pro Live
