Movie Audio Extraction
The audio track selection menu process (described in the manual) adds an unnecessary
step when extracting audio from a movie file. If the movie file only contains one audio
file, selection is superfluous. Use of the Options > Movies > Extract Audio from Movie
function will automatically extract the audio (as an AIF file), and add it to the Audio
window. The movie name will be retained, and used for the audio file.

Preferences
This section outlines changes in Logic’s preferences.
File Format Option
The Audio preferences of Logic 6 allowed you to change the bit depth of freeze files
from the default 32 bit (float) to 24, or even 16 bit. The primary intent of this option was
to allow the use of freeze files in place of bounced tracks, given the absence of the
Export Track As Audio File function. As Logic Pro 7 offers this functionality, the Freeze
File Format option is no longer required, and has been removed from the Audio
preferences.

The Export Track As Audio File function offers the same export functionality as the
Freeze function in Logic 6, but track naming is more convenient and you can freely
choose the file destination and format for each export.

Smart Loop Handling Option
In Logic’s Global > Editing preferences you will find the additional “SmartLoop handling

cutting of looped Regions.
of Scissor and Split by SPL “ option, which determines how Logic Pro 7 handles the
cutting of looped Regions.
If you activate the option, you can cut the looped area of Regions (using the Scissors or
Marquee tool or Split by SPL commands). Logic Pro 7 automatically creates Regions
after—and if necessary—before the cut, ensuring that these areas remain identical.
This allows you to split looped Regions without altering playback in the looped area.

If the “SmartLoop handling of Scissor and Split by SPL” option is switched off, it is not
possible to cut looped areas. Cutting the looped Region itself deactivates the Loop
