Hello!
To to get started with using alchemy, you’ll want to click on the + icon on the main window.
(you can see what all the main window includes by holding ‘command’ and then pressing ‘1’ on your keyboard, or through the window option on your Logic Pro X menu bar.)
after clicking the + , you can select what kind of strip you want to create, as well as make selections about input and instruments.
On this window and with the ‘Software Instrument’ option selected, you can select what you want your default instrument to be.
click create, and your strip will be created with the options you chose.
Next: open up a software instrument.
Make sure inspector is open, and click the i icon on the top left of the main window if need be.
In the inspector, you’ll see the name of the instrument you have selected.
When you bring your pointer over the blue box that has the instrument name, you’ll see it change. The power icon turns the plug-in or instrument off and on. The sliders indicate the part to click to open the software, and the up down arrows indicate to open the menu of all available software. This is used for changing a track after you create it.
Click on the middle part of the blue box, and you’re on your way to Alchemical wonderland.
Cheers!
