Channel strip parameters
When you click a channel strip of any type (audio, software instrument, aux, output, master, input,
or bus), the following common parameters are accessible:
Assignable checkbox: Makes the channel strip assignable from the Reassign Track shortcut
menu in the Tracks area; Control-click the track header.
Device pop-up menu: Click the visible device name (Core Audio, for example) to reassign the
selected channel strips to a dierent hardware device.
Channel pop-up menu: Click the visible channel name (Audio 1, for example), and choose
the channel strip type from the submenus. This is how you can reassign a (newly created or
existing) channel strip object (an audio channel strip is the default for new objects) to other
channel strip types. You can choose from:
Audio: The default channel strip type, used as the destination for audio tracks.
Input: Primarily retained for compatibility with projects created in earlier versions of
Logic Pro.
Aux: Auxiliary channel strip, used as send returns for all channel strips (via Sends), as
subgroup channels, and as individual output destinations for multichannel software
instruments (EXS24 mkII, for example).
Instrument: Used as the destination for (software) instrument tracks.
Output: Represents the physical outputs of your audio interface. You can choose either mono
or stereo (paired) outputs.
Bus: Primarily retained for compatibility with projects created in earlier versions of Logic Pro.
The functions of bus objects are now performed with (the more exible) aux channel strips
in Logic Pro.
Master: Only one master channel strip can exist in a project. This is the master volume
control for all channel strip types (except external MIDI channel strips).
MIDI Channel pop-up menu: Choose a MIDI channel that can be used to control the
channel strip.
Q-Reference checkbox: Allows you to use the transients of regions on tracks that reference the
channel strip for audio quantization, if part of an Edit Group.
Flex Mode pop-up menu: Choose a ex algorithm that can be used to process the audio
material on the selected channel strip.
Show checkboxes: Select the corresponding checkbox to show EQs, Inserts, Sends, and I/Os on
the selected channel strip or strips.
