From there we can chose many tracks but I chose only two as for type it should be 'software instrument' and click on 'create'. Finally, the 'number of tracks' are sown in the screen.

Assign a sound to the track?


If I want to choose any sound track I go to the 'Library' in Logic Pro and click which is on the right hand side. Then, different types of software instruments are shown and from there I decided to choose 2 or 3 tracks for my jazz piece. For example, I chose 'Keyboards' software instrument and from there will be a list of different kinds of sounds. I click on 'warped organs' and even from this sounds there are lots of options for creating a piece of music. Finally, I chose 'atmosphere organ' which will be shown in the 'Global Tracks'.
