I use templates for new projects and albums that I am working on. They help me keep each track sounding like it is from the same sound world. Templates are also a great way to save time by not having to load up all the instruments in every new project.

How Do I Save a Logic Template?

Load up a new session in Logic and add all the things you want in that session; instruments, routing, channels etc. Then click:

File > Save As Template

Logic Pro File menu with Save as Template highlighted

You can then name the template as you wish.

Where Are They Stored?

This is the important part. Once you know where they are stored you can then install and delete them.

All the custom Logic Pro templates are stored in a folder in the “Audio Music Apps” folder.

[User] > Music > Audio Music Apps > Project Templates

Finder path from Mac Pro HD through Users, user, Music and Audio Music Apps to Project Templates

How Do I Install a Template in Logic Pro?

To install a template in Logic Pro it is simply a matter of locating the “Project Templates” folder and dragging in the template you want to install.

How to Delete Logic Pro X Templates

The only problem is that the templates start to add up after a while. Before you know it you have so many it is hard to remember which one you are using, especially when you use names like “orchestral template” and “orchestral template 1” etc.

So once in a while, it is a good idea to delete your custom templates and only keep the most relevant to your current work.

To delete a template in Logic Pro X navigate to the folder they are stored and move the unwanted templates to the trash.

  1. Navigate to the “Project Templates” folder (see above)
  2. Right-click on the template you want to delete
  3. Select “Move to Trash” (or drag it to the trash)
