'The Library is now set up to allow you to break out from preset mode much more quickly.' Strip club This is true for any MIDI FX you've set up, too, so if you want to explore alternative Arpeggiator settings, for instance, these can be loaded from a long list of possibilities. However, if a whole channel strip seems too 'preset', you can click next to each of the plugins loaded into the Insert slots and the Library browser will then display a series of alternative treatments, allowing you to flick through specific settings for each in turn, without affecting the instrument loaded above. Here's why: if you set up a new Software Instrument track and open the Library you can, of course, select a ready-made Channel Strip which will load a sound and a set of appropriate effects to enhance it, including both Inserts and Auxiliary routings.

Better still, when selecting sounds and Channel Strips, the Library is now set up to allow you to break out from preset mode much more quickly. Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of Logic X's design overhaul was the moving of the Library to the left-hand side of the screen, ensuring that signal flow is from left-to-right, rather than jumping from right to left as it did in Logic 9. Click Add to bring them into your current project. You can click the checkbox(es) of the sound(s) you want and, if you want the MIDI notes or audio files, the Content button, too. Double-click on its name and, rather than opening as a new song, it will display each track of that project, complete with instrument and effects settings. Click All Files and use the 'computer monitor' button to navigate to wherever that Logic project resides. If there's a particular sound and channel strip that you want to import from another production into your current one, click the Media Browser button in the top right-hand corner of the Control Bar.
