Introduction to the Logic Studio Plug-ins
The Logic Studio music and audio production suite features a comprehensive collection of powerful plug-ins.
These include innovative synthesizers, high quality effect plug-ins, a powerful sampler, and authentic recreations of vintage instruments. This manual will introduce you to the individual effects and instruments--and their parameters. All plug-in parameters are discussed in detail. The instrument chapters include a number of tutorials that will help you to make the most of your new instruments. Using plug-ins is much easier if you are familiar with the basic functions of the individual applications included in Logic Studio. Information about these can be found in the respective user manuals. This manual covers all plug-ins available in the Logic Studio applications. Not all of them are available in all individual applications, however. Please refer to the following tables to see which plug-ins are available in each application.
