The Library in Logic Pro X does a whole lot more than display presets or patches.
Darren Burgos shares 7 tips that'll get you using Logic's Library like a pro.
Logics Library is quickly becoming more than just a way to open pre-made
channels/strips for audio and software instrument tracks. With the addition of
Track Stacks, Logics library now becomes a place to store pre-made setups like
drum instrument with multi-outs, stacked multi-instrument sounds, and instant
multi-channel inputs for recording instruments. Well look at all these uses, plus
setting a default software instrument, effect chains, and saving/recalling
instrument and effect preset setting.
channel. When this arrow is pointing to the very top of the channel strip, the
Library is displaying settings or patches for the entire strip. Everything on the
selected track/channel including the MIDI FX, the instrument or input channel,
and all the Logic and third-party AU effects, can be saved as a recallable setting.
Each track type like Audio, Instrument, Aux, and Bus, all save to their own
separate folders this way you only see channel strips that pertain to the type of
track youre currently selected on.
In addition to saving and recalling full strips, each of the individual instruments
and effects you add (including third-party ones) can use the library to save and
recall preset settings too. When the arrow is pointing to the instrument/MIDI

instrument and audio tracks. Open any folder and re-organize the patches any
way you like.

Mixer by either Shift-clicking or Command-clicking them all. Rightclicknow while the pointer is over the selected tracks and select Create Track.
This will add the tracks to the arrange window. You can now make a Track Stack
out of them (Shift-Command-D) as usual. Open the Library after creating the
Track Stack, and press the Save button. Try creating a folder here to organize
these type of patches, then save.
