  Note “G”   G

In the past I claimed that the “F” key was the only key on the Musical Typing Keyboard that was “true”. The G key will also insert a note that is a G — my bad.

I keep forgetting that if I want to play in some notes to record, or try out an instrument, that I can bring up the Musical Typing Keyboard — ⌘K — and play some notes.

Use step input recording techniques — Logic Pro X

Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.

  Page Right ↘

Scroll the page in the score to the far right (think swipe left) using the ‘end’ key on the extended keyboard. Page Left with the ‘home’ key. Essentially go to the beginning (home) or end (end) of the score. Sometimes the terminology confuses me. I am used to full-page displays that fit completely into the window. Just my assumptions.

Notation overview — Logic Pro X

You can view MIDI regions in software instrument (and external MIDI instrument) tracks as music notation in the Score Editor. Notes and other musical events are displayed as standard notation, along with common symbols such as time and key signature, bar lines, and clef signs. You can add and edit notes, add sustain pedal markings and other symbols, and print the score.

  Show/Hide Browsers    F

Opens and closes the audio browsers side of the main screen. Project Audio, Media, All Files. Like a tiny Finder interface, but nothing like the Finder at all.

In the beginning I would use the Finder to locate files and them drag them into the Tracks area. This works, but doesn’t allow the kind of control that I get using the All Files browser. These days I use All Files and move audio to tracks in a more organized way.

Logic Pro main window interface — Logic Pro X

You create and play projects in the Logic Pro main window. The main window is organized into different areas to help you focus on different aspects of your project, such as recording, arranging, and mixing. Buttons in the control bar show or hide different areas of the app.
