Edit project properties in Logic Pro for iPad
Each Logic Pro project has properties that include the project tempo, key and scale, time signature, and sample rate. You can set project properties when you create a project and change them later while you’re working. Some project properties, such as tempo and sample rate, should usually be set when you create the project because they can affect recordings or media files you add to the project, creating extra work.
Set the project tempo
In Logic Pro, do one of the following:
Drag the Tempo value in the display up or down to change the tempo.
Tap the Tempo value in the display, then then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad. You can also tap the tempo on the Tap Tempo button at the bottom of the dialog.
Tap Done to exit the dialog.
For information about the Tempo track and creating tempo changes, see Intro to the Tempo track in Logic Pro for iPad.
Set the project time signature
In Logic Pro, tap the time signature in the display.
In the Signatures window, do one of the following:
Drag the Number of Beats value up or down to change the number of beats.
Tap the Number of Beats value, then edit the value in the numeric input dialog using the Decrement/Increment buttons, the scroll wheel, or the numeric keypad.
Tap the Note Value pop-up menu, then choose a new note value.
Tap Done to exit Settings.
Set the project key signature
In Logic Pro, with the playhead at the start of the project, tap the project key in the display.
In the Signatures window, tap the Key pop-up menu and choose a new key.
Tap either Major or Minor.
Tap Done to exit the Signatures window.
Set the project sample rate
In Logic Pro, tap the More button
in the control bar, then tap Settings.Tap Project Settings, then tap Audio.
Tap the Sample Rate pop-up menu, then choose a new sample rate.
Tap Done to exit the Project Settings.
Set the project end point
Logic Pro projects start at position 1 1 1 1 (as shown in the display). When you create a project in Logic Pro, by default the project is 32 bars long. You can set the Project End marker to remove unused bars at the end of the project, or to make the project longer.
In Logic Pro, swipe right in the Tracks area until you see the Project End marker.
Drag the Project End marker horizontally to shorten or lengthen the project.
During playback, a project stops when it reaches the Project End marker. When recording, the Project End marker moves to accommodate the end of the recording, if recording extends past the current position of the marker.
