All Apple Loops (and other loop format files, such as ReCycle files) can be browsed or
searched for, and added to your arrangement. This is an enhanced version of the Loop

Browser of earlier Logic revisions.
Library
The Library is new to Logic Pro 8. It provides access to all settings files—for all channel
strip, effect, and instrument plug-in settings (including EXS instruments). It can also
integrate with MIDI devices and (active) ReWire applications, providing rapid access to
MIDI sub-channels and ReWire instruments.

integrate with MIDI devices and (active) ReWire applications, providing rapid access to
MIDI sub-channels and ReWire instruments.
The Library is intimately connected with the Logic Pro 8 channel strips, and will update
to reflect the current channel strip type (audio, software instruments, or external MIDI)
and element selection (Channel Strip Settings menu, Insert or Instrument slot). This
makes it easy to change channel strip and plug-in settings from the Arrange window,
which is particularly handy for software instruments.

Browser
The Browser provides direct access to all supported media files (except settings files
which are more easily accessed via the Library) on any device connected to your
computer, including locally networked storage units. It features advanced search
facilities, making it easy to find any file—even in the largest of media file libraries. Only
Logic-relevant files are displayed: Logic projects, OMF, AAF, OpenTL, XML (Final Cut
Pro), audio files (SDII, AIFF, Wave, CAF, Apple Lossless, AAC, MP3, Apple Loops), MIDI
files, SysEx files (SYX), and movies. The Browser replaces the Project Manager of earlier
Logic Pro versions.

The Inspector
The Inspector can be displayed by clicking the Inspector button in the Arrange Toolbar.
It is an enhanced replacement for the Parameters area of earlier Logic versions. The
actual Inspector content depends on the area in key focus: either the Arrange or one
of the editing areas—simply click in an area, on a region or event, on an area title bar,
menu, tab, or other element to give it key focus. Logic Pro 8 also includes a number of
new key commands that you can use to quickly switch between areas and windows. As
an example: You can use Tab or Shift-Tab to cycle through the Arrange window areas:
Tab cycles forward, Shift-Tab cycles backwards.

The Inspector basically consists of the parameter area for the window with key focus,
and the arrange channel strips (see below). If the key focus window does not provide a
parameter area (Mixer, Sample Editor, Piano Roll Editor, all Media and Lists area tabs),
the Arrange area parameters are displayed in the Inspector.

If the current project contains a movie file, the top part of the Arrange area Inspector
(above the Region Parameter box) can display a small movie window.
