  Sends on Faders - Previous Send

New in Logic Pro X version 10.4 (or very close to it). I was first exposed to ‘Sends on Faders’ using my Behringer XR18 mixer. I had no clue about what it was, and it took a few tries to get it right in my brain. Totally useful.

When ‘Sends on Faders’ is enabled the faders on the mixer are used to adjust the level of the currently selected send, as opposed to adjusting the level of the track. This makes creating cue mixes almost child’s play.

I use this to move elements of a mix closer or further away using reverb. The higher the fader is the further away it should be in the sound stage.

Previous and Next Send are circular. When the last send is selected Next circles around to the first, and vice versa.

Karabiner — Software for macOS

A powerful and stable keyboard customizer for macOS.

Serious keyboard mapping software. Not for the faint of heart.

macOS has the ability to change CAPS LOCK, CONTROL, ESCAPE, OPTION, COMMAND, and FUNCTION. This is a good thing.

Karabiner will let you assign CAPS LOCK to press CONTROL,OPTION, COMMAND, and SHIFT all at the same time, giving you an easy keypress to use in conjunction with the rest of the keyboard.

Logic Pro X keyboard command mapping becomes far easier to use.

  Quit    ⌘Q

The ‘Oblique Strategies’ card of Logic commands. Sometimes the best thing you can do is quit and take a break.

Think about it.

  Separate MIDI Region by MIDI Channel

Splits a MIDI region into separate regions, one per MIDI channel.

Who knew that we would find this under ‘demix’?

Demix MIDI regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can split, or demix, a MIDI region (or a standard MIDI file of format 1 or 0) into separate regions by event channels or by note pitch.

Very handy. Player Piano roll time.

  Color Tracks by Region Color    ⌥⇧⌘C

Set the color of the tracks of the selected regions to the region color.

I typically color my tracks when I start working on a new project. Tracks are grouped (summing stacks) with the AUX track the same color.

It might make some work easier to follow if I colored the region I am working on, and changed the track color to match. That would let me see the track in the Arrange window and the mixer — make it stand out from all the rest.

Workflow would be — use Marquee tool to select the working region. Press ‘U’ to set rounded locators and enable cycle. Press ‘⌃⌘T’ to split the region at the locators. Press ‘⌥C’ to show color palette. Select the color. Press ‘⌥⇧⌘C’ to change the track color.

Seems like a lot of work/steps. I could make a macro to do everything up to the color selection. That works OK, except that ‘⌥C’ to show/hide colors is a toggle. I can’t seem to find a ‘Show Colors’ command as opposed to the toggle. I can do a three finger tap on my Magic Mouse, click on a color, press ‘⌥⇧⌘C’, and it is done. To finish with a flourish I use a three finger “TipTap 2 fingers — middle” — hold index and ring finger on mouse, tap with middle finger — to do the awkward change track color command.

Change the color of regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can change the color of regions to identify sections of your arrangement, distinguish between track types, or for other uses. Newly recorded or added regions use the color of the track channel strip.
