Using Link Modes in the Mixer
The Link mode options—No Link, Same Level Link, and Content Link—allow you to define
how information is displayed in the Mixer when working with folder tracks in the Arrange
area.
To set any of these modes
µ
Control-click (or right-click) the Link button in the Mixer, then choose the mode you want
from the shortcut menu:
• No Link: The Mixer does not follow display level changes when selecting, entering, or
exiting folder tracks in the Arrange area.
• Same Level Link: The Mixer follows display level changes when selecting, entering, or
exiting folder tracks in the Arrange area.
• Content Link: The Mixer displays the track list inside a folder when selecting a folder track
in the Arrange area.
Using the I/O Labels Window
You can use the I/O Labels window to define names for all channel strip Input, Output,
and Send menu items, which can be used in place of defaults such as “Input 1” or “Output
8.”
To open the I/O Labels window
Do one of the following:
µ
Choose Options > Audio > I/O Labels in the main menu bar.
µ
Choose Options > I/O Labels in the Mixer.
These labels are stored in a separate file, located in the ~/Library/Application Support/Logic
folder. The file is called “IOLabels Core Audio”.
To create new I/O labels for the Input, Output, and Send menus of channel strips
1 Click the button in the User column, aligned on the Channel row (Output 12, for example).
2 Double-click the “-” in the Long (name) column and type a new name for Output 12
(MLAN 12, for example). Click outside the row, or press Return.
