Recording settings in Logic Pro

When Enable Complete Features is selected in Advanced preferences, Recording settings are available.

Figure. Recording settings.
  • When Beginning buttons: Use to choose between a count-in or pre-roll period when starting to record.

    • Count-in: Select to set the “Count-in” pop-up menu to set the count-in period that precedes a recording.

    • Record pre-roll: Select to set a pre-roll time in seconds, either by typing a number or clicking the arrows. When recording, this value is deducted from the current project position.

  • Count-in pop-up menu: Sets the count-in period that precedes a recording.

    • None: The recording begins with no count-in.

    • x Bar: The recording begins with a count-in of between 1 Bar and 6 Bars (chosen from the pop-up menu).

    • x/4: The count-in’s time signature can be set here. These settings are useful when the count-in falls across a bar change.

  • Allow tempo change recording checkbox: Records all tempo changes made while in record mode.

  • Automatically colorize takes checkbox: Assigns a take folder the color chosen from the Color palette for the first take recording, but different colors for each of the following takes in that take folder. All colors used in a take folder are chosen from the same color row in the Color palette, advancing by a predefined number of columns after each take.

  • MIDI data reduction checkbox: Controller events are thinned out during recording, to reduce the data load on the MIDI bus during playback. This improves the timing of dense arrangements when using interfaces with only a few MIDI ports. The function actually reduces the duration of controller events, using an intelligent algorithm which retains the value at the end of a series of controller messages.

  • Automatically erase duplicates checkbox: When selected, playing or adding a note to a MIDI region, either through step recording or merging, at the same position, pitch, and MIDI channel as an existing note, deletes the previous note. For the purposes of this function, the same position is defined as two notes with the same quantized playback position if both notes have been quantized, or within 100 ticks if quantization is not being used.

  • Audio Recording Path buttons: Use to set or reset the audio recording path.

    • Set button: Allows you to select or create a recording folder outside of the project.

    • Project button: Resets the recording path back to the project.

  • Recording Preferences button: Opens the Recording preferences window.
