post fader Sends in analog mixers are positioned either before (pre) or after (post) the<br />

fader. Post fader means positioned after the Volume fader in the signal flow, with the<br />

level of a signal going to the send changing along with the fader movements.<br />

pre fader Sends in analog mixers are positioned either before (pre) or after (post) the<br />

fader. Pre fader means positioned before the Volume fader in the signal flow, so the level<br />

of a signal routed pre-fader to a send remains constant, regardless of any fader movements.<br />

project A <strong>Logic</strong> document. It contains all MIDI regions and references to the audio files<br />

to be played back. A project file is saved within a project folder—which can contain the<br />

project’s audio files and other assets (such as video, sample files, and so on). Saving a<br />

project with assets simplifies archiving and exchanging projects, but increases the project<br />

folder’s size.<br />

project folder In <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>, the top-level folder that can contain all media associated<br />

with a project, including audio files, sampler instruments and samples, video, and other<br />

data.<br />

project settings The project settings are a collection of program settings that are specific<br />

to the current project. These are different from the global preferences that affect all<br />

<strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> projects (see Preferences window).<br />

protected track A protected track cannot have its contents moved or changed.<br />

punch in, punch out Going into and out of record to replace a section of an existing<br />

recording. This process can be automated in <strong>Logic</strong> <strong>Pro</strong>. Also see Autopunch function.<br />

PWM Pulse Width Modulation. Synthesizers often feature this facility, where a square<br />

waveform is deformed by adjusting its pulse width. A square waveform usually sounds<br />

hollow, and woody, whereas a pulse width modulated square wave sounds more reedy<br />

and nasal.<br />
