• Panning and Balance (07:08) - Explore the pan/balance knob, and see how the signal being played back reacts when placed at various positions in the stereo image on both mono and stereo tracks, and how the level of the signal is affected by Logic's various pan laws.

• The Direction Mixer (04:54) - See how the Direction Mixer plug-in is used to control the width of a stereo signal, and to pan the center of the stereo image rather than merely adjusting the relative levels like the channel strip's balance knob does.

• Sends and Busses (07:10) - Discover how busses are used as virtual pipelines to route portions of a channel strip's signal to alternate destinations for effects processing, how sends and Auxiliary channel strips are used to send and receive bus signals, and how Logic's Bus objects, an artifact of the distant past, were once used.

• Setting the Record Delay (05:58) - Watch as the distance between a percussive signal re-recorded through the audio interface is measured with the original, in order to determine the necessary recording delay offset.

• Record Delay Another Way (03:12) - See how to bounce the re-recorded signal with the original into a stereo file, and then measure the offset between the two sides in the Audio File Editor.

• Monitoring the Signal (04:48) - Learn about the various software monitoring settings and functions that allow signal to be monitored through Logic.

• Recording with Effects (10:15) - Explore four different ways of recording with software effects processing inserted at various access points in the signal flow.

• Direct Monitoring (06:56) - Learn how direct monitoring bypasses recording latency by routing the inputs directly to the outputs of your audio interface, and how to combine this with the monitoring of software effects processing at the same time.

• Latency (05:16) - Explore the characteristics of input latency, output latency, monitoring latency, and internal latency; and how Logic's plug-in delay compensation and low latency mode features are best used.

• Punch Recording (05:43) - See some of the ways signal flow is monitored and captured during quick punch and auto punch recording.

• Creating a Headphone Mix (03:43) - Learn how to set up a parallel audio stream routed to the headphone outputs on a multi out audio interface.

• IO Labels (06:25) - Learn how to customize the display names of your audio interface's physical inputs and outputs, as well as the virtual bus pathways within Logic.

• MIDI Signal Flow Basics (05:16) - See how MIDI input flows from the Audio MIDI Setup app, to Logic's Physical Input Environment Object, to the Sequencer Input, to the selected track in the Track's Area, to the connected Channel Strip, through the instantiated MIDI FX and software instrument. The generated audio triggered by the MIDI messages then flows through audio processing plug-ins, and bus sends; and finally to the outputs of Logic's internal audio stream.

• Routing To External MIDI Devices (07:46) - Discover how to route incoming MIDI messages back through the output ports on your connected devices in order to trigger external sound sources.

• Customizing Your MIDI Setup (05:00) - Learn how to use Audio MIDI Setup and Logic's Environment to create representations of your connected devices with the proper routing assignments set up in advance, so that they are always preconfigured and available.

• External Instrument Plug-In (05:59) - See how this plug-in is used to both route MIDi to an external destination, and bring it's audio in via your audio interface. Alternatively, learn how to use Auxiliary and Input channel strips to route the audio from external devices into Logic's signal flow.

• The Environment (08:08) - Learn how to cable Environment objects into the MIDI signal pathway so that their generated events occur either after or before MIDI input reaches Logic's sequencer.

• Sidechain Processing (08:44) - Explore some scenarios where the signal flow of one channel strip is routed to the input of a plug-in on another channel strip, functioning as a control source that acts upon the sound of the destination track. And discover some creative uses for Environment Bus objects.
