  Recall Screenset 5    5

Think of Screensets as workspaces. You can display windows, position them, zoom tracks as needed for a part of a workflow and save everything in place.

Create, recall, and switch screensets — Logic Pro X

You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might between different computer displays.

  Advanced Quantization Parameters

Expose the advanced quantization parameters in the Region Inspector. Essentially this clicks the exposure triangle on the “More” section of the inspector. For MIDI regions you can see things like Q-velocity (see image). For audio regions you can expose the fade and delay settings.

Advanced quantization parameters — Logic Pro X

When Show Advanced Tools is selected in the Advanced preferences pane, you can quantize regions with greater precision using the advanced quantization parameters in the Region inspector. Using the advanced parameters, you can apply a swing or other quantize feel to MIDI regions. Not all advanced quantization parameters are available for audio regions.

  Split Regions/Events at Playhead Position  ⌘T  ⌘1⃣

I have been splitting regions at the Playhead Position since my very first live recording mixed in Logic.

Position the playhead, select all the tracks/regions desired, and split.

Still learning the command(s) to do this with the Marquee tool, usually ⌘U to set the locators, and turn on cycle followed by ⌃⌘T to split the region(s) at the locators or Marquee selection.

  Select And Operate using Transform User Preset 22

Serendipity. Yesterday we had ‘Apply Transform’ and I spoke to the ‘Select and Operate’ version of the command(s).

Today we get a ‘Select and Operate’. There are 32 of them.

  Add Region to Loop Library…    ⌃⇧O

I should experiment with this. I have a lot of recordings that I could “cut up” and create “licks” from.

Create your own Apple Loops — Logic Pro X

You can create Apple Loops from your own audio and software instrument recordings. When you create an Apple Loop from a region, it’s added to the loop library and appears in the Loop Browser, so that you can use it in other projects.
