Chapter 6 Logic’s Mixing Facilities 267
Connections
The signal within the various Audio Objects requires no cabling, or any kind of manual
connection. The signal is routed via the corresponding slots in the Audio Object. As an
example: the Send slots connect a Track or Instrument Object to the Bus Object; the
Output slot connects the various Objects to an Output Object. Logic’s virtual audio
mixer resembles the routing and connection options of traditional mixing consoles.
Object Parameter Box
If the Parameter column is visible (select View > Parameters if it’s not), a box will display
the parameters of the selected Audio Object. Clicking on the triangle at the top of this
box (next to the name) conceals/reveals its contents.
The name in the uppermost line of this box can be changed by clicking on it. This will
also change the name displayed below the Object itself, and in the Arrange window (if
no Track Name is specified). The check box to the left of the icon indicates whether or
not the Audio Object will appear in the instrument selection menu of the Arrange
window track list. You can change the icon via a pull-down menu if you wish, although
the default icon is usually suitable.
Device
The Device parameter selects the hard disk recording system that the Audio Object is
connected to. The default setting will be for one of the hard disk recording hardware
units installed on your system; entries referring to hardware not connected to your
system are “grayed out” (see “Audio Drivers” on page 377).
Channel
The Channel parameter determines the type and channel of the signal controlled by an
Audio Object.
The various options are:
• Track (see “Track Object” on page 295)
• Input (see “Input Object” on page 297)
• Instrument (see “Audio Instrument Object” on page 298)
• Bus (see “Bus Objects” on page 302)
• Output (see “Output Objects” on page 301)
• Master (see “Master Object” on page 304)
• Aux (see “Auxiliary Object” on page 303)
