Add Region ⌃R — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Add Region    ⌃R

Create a region for the selected audio. I still haven’t figured out the utility of having multiple, identical regions in the Project Audio.

I need to experiment with “Delete sections of audio files that are no longer used in the project”

Add and delete audio files — Logic Pro X

When you add an audio file to your project, Logic Pro automatically creates a region that encompasses the entire file length. You can create as many regions as you like from the same audio file. There are no length limitations to regions, as long as they don’t exceed the length of the source audio file. Creating multiple regions from the same audio file is beneficial for many tasks—using different portions of a vocal take that spans the length of the project, for example.

  Project Information…    ⌥⌘I

All of the important system-level details about the project. I’m not buying the words about project corruption due to memory or drivers…that’s behavior that happened 15 years ago, not so much today.

View project information and reorganize memory — Logic Pro X

In the Project Information window, you can view the number of regions and other objects in a project, the number of different MIDI events, and the amount of memory they use.

Logic Pros: One-click Logic arrangement tricks- 9to5Mac

Today we are showcasing some over-looked Logic arrangement tricks. Prying apart a project’s regions in order to make alterations, injecting a gap for a new part or even just moving an entire section of your piece around can be tedious. However, Logic Pro X’s underrated Toolbar houses a number of functions that can get many of these tasks done with a simple selection and a one-click command.

Transpose Region/Event +1 Semitone or Nudge Automation up 1 Step ⌥↑ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Transpose Region/Event +1 Semitone or Nudge Automation up 1 Step    ⌥↑

Raise the pitch of the selected region or event. Works in the Score Editor, Piano Roll, Arrange window. For automation the step is determined by the parameter being automated. Volume is .1 dB. Pan is -63 to +64. Basically the parameter gets 128 values with zero as the center.

Using the nudge keys can help fine-tuning automation curves. Changing pitch is obviously a useful tool.

Change the pitch, duration, and velocity of notes — Logic Pro X

You can change the pitch and duration (length) of selected notes in the Score Editor, as well as their MIDI velocity. The Velocity value signifies how hard the key was struck when the note was recorded. It often corresponds to the volume of the note when played back, but can control other parameters as well.

I can’t seem to locate any specific documentation about using these commands to nudge automation.

Add and adjust automation points — Logic Pro X

To create changes over time to volume, pan, and effects settings, you add automation points to a track’s automation curve at different places, and then adjust the automation points so the value of the setting changes. You can adjust automation points by moving them up or down to a new value or by moving them left or right to a new point in the timeline. Numerical values are displayed alongside each automation point. You can also raise or lower the value of MIDI parameters associated with notes in instrument tracks or Drummer tracks. Note and numerical values are displayed alongside each MIDI data point. You can also add automation points at selection area or region borders.
