Logic Pro Default Time is 01:00:00

When I create a new project in Logic Pro and switch the display to Beats & Time, the readout always shows +1 hour at the beginning of the timeline.


Is this a bug in Logic Pro or is it something I am doing incorrectly to set up a new song?


I want the beginning of the song to be 00:00:00

You are not doing anything wrong. The default SMPTE time offset in Logic is 1 hour. I think that this was a timing standard for syncing video at one time(and evidently still is). You can reset the start time by going to the Synchronization link in the Project Settings menu under File and changing the setting to 00:00:00:00:00. If it's annoying to reset every time you open a new project, reset it and then save as a template.
