Creating an Autoload Template

Having a selection of templates at your fingertips can be useful in any given situation. However, most of the time you'll want to start your sessions with the same basic configuration. You can do this by naming a song template Autoload and saving it to the Song Templates location in the same way you saved the song template in the previous exercise. You can have this Autoload template loaded automatically when Logic is launched, or opened by default when you start a new song.

When Logic loads, it scans the Song Templates folder looking for an Autoload song. If Logic finds one, it loads on launching, instead of a default song.

When using the File > New command to create a new song, having "Use song template" unchecked in the New dialog will cause the Autoload song to load automatically.
