Projects

Get started with projects

You create your music in a Logic Pro project. A project is the document that contains all of your recordings, the media files you add, and all the edits you make. You start working in Logic Pro by creating a project or opening an existing one. GarageBand users can open their GarageBand projects in Logic Pro and continue working, with the expanded capabilities of Logic Pro.

Logic Pro includes a demo project that you can use to try out the tasks presented in the following Get Started topics. You can also create a new project, or open an existing one.
