  A customizable Toolbar spans the top of the Arrange 

window. It contains buttons that open or close other Arrange window areas, plus 
several function buttons. The customizable Transport bar spans the lower edge of the 
Arrange window. See “

  You can open the Mixer, Sample Editor, Piano Roll Editor, Score Editor or 

Hyper Editor in the Arrange window by clicking the corresponding button—just 
above the Transport bar.

The level of integration between these windows and elements streamline your workflow. 

As examples, you can create a new track (and corresponding channel strip) by dragging 
audio files from the Browser into the Arrange area, or insert an instrument and several 
effects into a channel strip (inclusive of settings) with a single click in the Library.

A further benefit of these new features is that it is (generally) unnecessary to use the 
Environment window for tasks such as channel creation and routing. In fact, setup has 
been simplified to such a degree that the Logic Setup Assistant, and several 
preferences of earlier versions, have been removed.

You can continue to open windows independently, and use screensets as you did in 
earlier Logic versions (although you can now name them). The new Arrange window 
facilities, however, are likely to change your approach.

 

The screensets of projects created in Logic Pro 7 will be “adapted” to take 

advantage of the new interface features.

 

The right-hand side of the Arrange window can accommodate the Lists and Media 
areas. The Lists area is opened by clicking the Lists button in the Arrange Toolbar. It 
contains four sub-windows, accessed by clicking the appropriate tab at the top of the 
area:  the Event List, Marker List, Tempo List, and Signature List. Cosmetically, these are 
a little different to the equivalent windows of earlier Logic versions. There are a few 
small usability enhancements, but overall, they are functionally identical.

The Media area—accessed by clicking the Media button in the Arrange Toolbar—
displays all media files in the project, or on any storage device attached to your system, 
including local network devices. This provides direct access to all available audio files, 
Apple Loops, sample libraries, and more, from the Arrange window. The Media area 
offers four sub-windows, outlined below:

 

A catalogue of all audio files (and regions) in the project. This is the equivalent of the 
Audio window of earlier Logic versions. An enhanced version of the Audio Bin, that 
allows direct region edits, can be opened as an independent window.
