In logic 5 zijn er zeker veel belangrijke features bijgekomen:New Automation
All-new, ultra-high 32 Bit resolution, track-based automation engine
Automation of virtually all parameters including effect plugs-ins and audio instruments
Automation independent of sequencer record status and track selection
Standard automation modes such as read, write, touch and latch
Automated parameters are displayed with full names and values
Color-coded automation data displayed directly in Arrange window as envelope with nodes (anchor points)
Automation data can be freely drawn, edited and scaled between nodes in various curves, including convex, concave, s-form or linear
Automation data, entire sections, and nodes, can be moved or copied with corresponding audio data, or independently
Powerful multifunction tool to graphically edit automation envelopes at various zoom levels
