Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

  Copy Group Settings

In the “Groups Inspector” window/area. In the gear menu/icon.

Copies the settings for the current group. Helpful to set a number of things for a different group.

Using groups successfully requires an understanding of the “Group Clutch”. Normally when you change something on a channel in a group the entire group gets changed. If you want to make a change to only one channel you engage the clutch “⇧G” (documentation has it wrong”, The clutch is a toggle, so you have to press “⇧G” to dis-engage. Touch bar enabled as well. The touch bar has 8 buttons. Keyboard modifiers apply. Many commands possible…

Logic Pro | D is For Decay, Density, & Delay and How They Are All Connected in Logic’s ChromaVerb

Logic Pro | D is For Decay, Density, & Delay and How They Are All Connected in Logic’s ChromaVerb:

Deciding how long a reverb tail to use in your mixes encompasses a lot of variables. What is the tempo of the song? How busy are the parts? Are there a lot of open spaces between phrases, or are they densely packed together? Do you want to convey a sense of an intimate closer space, or a larger distant space? These are just some of the considerations that play an important role in communicating the intended emotion of the music.

1/3 Page Left — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  1/3 Page Left

Move the visible score 1/3 of a page left. OK.

Maybe from a time when monitors were small and scores were large.

OH! MY! If I highlight one or more commands in the key commands window I can copy and past the list of selected commands. I have only ever done that with all of the commands…

Score Editor overview — Logic Pro X:

The Score Editor can display a single MIDI region or software instrument track. In the Score Editor, each track appears as a separate staff. Notes, rests, and other musical events in the MIDI regions on the track are displayed in standard musical notation.

Select MIDI Channel Strips ⇧E — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

  Select MIDI Channel Strips    ⇧E

Select MIDI channels in the mixer window “all” or “tracks” view.

Pressing this confuses me when the X-Touch changes state. My current template does have a MIDI track, but only so when I export song information I get a marker track along with other pertinent data.

I have to spend more time adjusting the views of the mixer, and following what happens with my tools.

Mixing overview — Logic Pro X:

When you mix a project, you balance the different parts and blend them into a cohesive whole. You can also add effects to alter the sound, use routing and grouping to control the signal flow, and use automation to create dynamic changes in your project over time. You do this in the Mixer, which opens below the Tracks area or as a separate window.

Go to Marker Number 3 3 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

  Go to Marker Number 3    3

Markers are so useful. I try to make it a habit to “drop markers” during listening passes. If I hear something I want to investigate put a marker there.

I still don’t like navigating by numbers, but so it is. I deleted all of the keyboard commands like the one listed.

I a practicing creating markers (⌥’) and typing anything I need to remind me. If I position the cursor in just the right place in the marker list I can do it…

When I am simply listening and balancing busses I use the X-Touch in marker mode and press the V-pot to create the markers.

Navigate using markers — Logic Pro X:

You can navigate through your project using markers. This is useful when you want to quickly jump to, and edit, regions or events at a specific position in your project, for example.
