“ This could be the tutorial made just for me, in this moment. Very well done. two problems: it's done in Logic 7 and I work with Logic 8. Why not thinking to an update veersion? I Know there are TNT 1 & 2 wich deals a lot with environment but For such a wonderfull and complex chapter of Logic I gues it's important to have a methodic tutorial from the ground, explaining the total" architecture".
Second point, I'm Italian, I speak a disceet english but some time it' hard to follow a very fast talking. I guess the tutorials should be thought as international so..., please, a bit more slow. Thank you for the work Martin

“ Very good to pick up for a novice like me.The most important thing about this tutorial, after watching it you can find your way in the "scary" environment.
Some parts could be better with a more in depht approach. ”

“ At last some "simple" and easy understanding explanation of how Logic's Invironment works. I like the voice of the speaker. Not to fast or to slow, very clear. ”

“ Great video.
This one was really helpfull for coming more to grasps with Logic as a whole.
The environment is a part of Logic i never would have gone into had it not been for this video. Now id like a follow-up video.... I still feel there are ground to be covered in handeling the enviroment like a pro. For example id like some more info on how to use a MIDI part to export to my external hardvare synth, and then import the sounds from this synth into Logic.... ”

Description
Logic's Environment is quite possibly the single biggest reason behind the myth that Logic is hard to understand. And that's a shame, because the Environment is tailored to make music creation easier.
Once you've properly configured Logic's Environment, each time you go back to a presaved song, Logic will automatically reach out to your studio's MIDI devices and set them up exactly the same as the last time you saved the song. There's no need to find or reprogram patches ... Logic will do that for you, and you'll learn how in the first part of this program, The MIDI Environment.
Part 2 of the program, The Audio Environment explores Logic's internal audio channels, including audio tracks, audio instrument tracks, busses, and output channels. You'll also learn some extra tricks, such as how to customize object icons with your own images.
The program ends with a detailed discussion of signal path programming using delay lines, arpeggiators, and chord memorier objects.
The Environment window is really your friend. Check out the table of contents below to see why.
