OK. This is really going to show how much I don't know about Logic but one question has been bugging me for ages and it is this. What, in the Environment, can one do that cannot be done elsewhere in Logic(8). What is it that causes experienced users to be enthusiastic about the power (unexplained) of Logic Pro's Environment window. Is it just a convenient (once you've understood it), graphical(?) way to do certain things? What would I lose if I simply made no attempt to understand it or to use it?

Thanks Rounik. As I now understand it I can, within limits, get by without ever going to the Environment window but there are numerous, mostly advanced, things that can only be done there. So, sooner or later I need to get to grips with the Environment and learn how to use the capabilities to be found there. Thanks agin for your help. Mike

What does Bouncing a track do to that track and why would one do it to a single track (or less?). Mike

Rounik, thanks for the response. I have used Bounce in the past in much the same you describe, eg., when reaching the end of a project. However, what really prompted me to ask the original question was a comment by Martin very early in his Logic 8 101 tutorial. I've just tried to find it again and failed so I can't give an exact reference. But, as I recall, he is talking about the sine wave and says at one point "Okay, I'm just about ready to bounce my sine wave but . . . ". Now, at that point Martin hasn't really done anything to his audio file and it is one bar long. I immediately thought, why is he doing that? Can you shed any light? Mike

Sorry about the duff images. I hope these prove to be okay. http://web.me.com/mikeoscar/Logic_Images Mike

It certainly does, Rounik. Thanks a lot. Mike
