Summary: The track inputs in Logic Pro 8 determine the source of music being recorded. Find out how to use Logic Pro track inputs in this free video tutorial on music recording software from a professional recording engineer.
"Now the Track Inputs are very important because they're basically the input of the track, so if you're recording something you need to know where, like where your signal is coming from. Like on my set-up, like my main Mic is, is the Input 1 on my interface, on my I/O. So whenever I actually want to record something from my booth, I have to make sure that every track that I'm recording onto has input of one. So what I'm going to show you right now is where the different inputs are on the tracks. When you go to the actual track, right here like this audio track, the input is right under the I/O. This is the input, the input is the first line. So I can assign this Input to be whatever I want it to be. I could have it be a BUS or I could have it be an Input 1 too. Just saying, the BUS is going to be, if I wanted to send something from another Track, I could send it into one of these Tracks if I wanted to. When doing this, I could also look at my, my instrument tracks. Now my instrument tracks, the I/O the actual input is the, the plug ins. So when I actually have a blank MIDI track, say I do like blank Software Instrument track, CREATE, has nothing there. I could actually go into my Input and choose the actual Plug in I want to use, instead of going to my Pre-sets. So if I want to use my Sampler, I can go here and inset a Sampler."
