Logic Pro 8: Input & Output Labels

Video Transcript

"Now, your input/output (IO), you could always label them. And sometimes I find this really helpful as far as when you're doing tracks and things like that. If you have something plugged into your 1/2 and it's your tray in and 3/4 is your motif, you're probably not going to move them around. So, what you can do is you can label those so that instead of saying "1/2" it says "Motif". So that way when somebody else that's not from your studio comes into the studio, they know that when they check on your input, they're going to see "Motif" there. So, they're going to know and it's going to help the whole situation. So what you can do is you're going to go to your screen and we're going to go to the Options at the very top. When you go to Options at the top, you're going to go to the Audio, and go to IO labels. Once in there, you're going to take your inputs and your outputs and you're going to switch to User. The User's going to ask you for a long name and a short name. This is where you can choose a new name or you can actually choose a shorter name. So now, whenever you see the input Input 1, it's going from now on say New Name or NN. So, I can go over to my track and actually look at the inspector. Right? And I can choose my input and my output and see where it says all that."
