You can freeze any tracks that use Audio Units plug-ins not installed as Audio Unit Extensions on your iPad. This allows you to play back the tracks in your project in Logic Pro for iPad and hear any plug-ins used on those tracks.

1. In Logic Pro, click the Freeze button  in the track header.

   If the Freeze button is not visible, you can show it or configure track header components.

2. In the Track inspector, choose Pre Fader from the Freeze Mode pop-up menu. This freezes the track signal with all effect plug-ins. When selected, the Freeze button appears blue.

3. To unlock the track, click the Freeze button again.

You can bounce any tracks that use Audio Units plug-ins not installed as Audio Unit Extensions on your iPad. This allows you to play back the tracks in your project in Logic Pro for iPad and hear any plug-ins used on those tracks. Make sure the Bypass Effect Plug-ins checkbox is unselected.

1. In Logic Pro, select the track.

2. Choose File > Bounce > Track in Place (or use the Bounce Track in Place key command).

3. In the Bounce Track In Place dialog, set the following parameters:

   

   • Name field: Enter a name for the bounce file in the field. The name defaults to the region name of the first selected region, with the extension _bip added at the end.

   • Destination buttons: Define the track on which the bounce file is placed. You have two options:

     • New Track: Creates a new audio track below the selected track, and places the bounce file on that track.

     • Replace Track: Replaces the existing track, and places the bounce file on it.

   • Include Instrument Multi-Outputs checkbox: Select to include aux channel strips with multi-output signals of the instrument in the bounce process. Otherwise, only the channel strips of tracks with selected regions are bounced.

     • As Additional Tracks checkbox: Select to create additional bounce files for every aux with any multi-output of the selected multi-output software instrument as input source.

   • Bypass Effect Plug-ins checkbox: Make sure this checkbox is unselected to include all plug-ins on the source track during the bounce process.

   • Include Volume/Pan Automation checkbox: Select to have volume and pan automation performed during the bounce process, with their result influencing the bounce file. Otherwise, the volume and pan automation is simply copied, not performed.

   • Normalize pop-up menu: Choose between three states of normalization:

     • Off: Turns off normalization.

     • Overload Protection Only: Allows downward normalization in case of overloads—levels above 0 dB, which would lead to clipping—but no normalization in case of lower levels.

     • On: Allows full bidirectional normalization.

   • Restore Defaults button: Click to set all parameters in the dialog to their default settings.

4. Click OK to trigger an in-place bounce of the selected track or tracks.

Following the bounce in place, the original track content (all regions, and all automation data except for volume, pan, and sends) is lost, and the original instrument or track channel strip is reset. You can use the Undo command if you want to return to the pre-bounce state. For more information about bouncing, see Bounce in place overview.

• In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • Click the Output slot of the channel strip, then choose Balance or Pan.

    

  • Control-click the Pan knob, then choose Balance or Pan from the shortcut menu.

    

For more information, see Overview of binaural panning and Set channel strip pan or balance positions.

• In Logic Pro, choose File > Project Settings > General, then select the “Use musical grid” checkbox.

1. In the Logic Pro Tracks area, Control-click the folder header area, then choose Folder > Unpack Take Folder to Independent Tracks (mute inactive) or Unpack Folder/Take Cell to New Tracks from the shortcut menu.

2. Control-click the folder track header, then choose Delete Track from the shortcut menu.

• Instead of an external MIDI track, you can use the External Instrument plug-in on a software instrument track to route hardware MIDI sound generators through the Mixer in Logic Pro. For information about the External Instrument, see External Instrument.
