Bypass a plug-in
If you want to deactivate a plug-in, but don’t want to remove it from the channel strip, you
can bypass it. Bypassed plug-ins don’t drain system resources.
• In Logic Pro, to bypass a single plug-in, do one of the following:
• Place the pointer over the plug-in slot, then click the Bypass button that appears to
the left.
• Option-click the plug-in slot.
• Click the center area of the plug-in slot to open the plug-in window, then click the
Bypass button at the left side of the plug-in window header.
• To bypass multiple plug-ins, click-hold a plug-in slot, then drag the pointer up or down.
All swiped plug-in slots switch to the same state.
Insert an instrument plug-in on a track using drag and drop
in Logic Pro
You can insert an instrument plug-in on a software instrument track that contains no
instrument plug-in by dragging audio files, audio or software instrument regions, or Apple
Loops to the track header. When you drag the content over the track header, you can
choose whether to insert a Quick Sampler, Alchemy, or Drum Machine Designer instrument
plug-in. Quick Sampler and Alchemy offer additional choices for how the plug-in processes
the material.
Insert a Quick Sampler plug-in (single files only)
Dragging content to one of the available Quick Sampler zones inserts a Quick Sampler
instrument plug-in. Depending on the content of the audio material, Quick Sampler uses
Slice, One Shot, or Classic sample mode.
See the Quick Sampler chapter in Logic Pro Instruments.
• Quick Sampler (Original) uses the original tuning, loudness, looping, and length of the
content.
• Quick Sampler (Optimized) analyzes the content and optimizes its tuning and loudness,
searches for loop points, and cuts silence.
