Quantize parameter values — Logic Pro X

You can quantize selected audio or MIDI regions (including a mixed region selection) using the Quantize parameter in the Region inspector. This parameter determines the division of the quantization grid.

New Audio Channel Strip — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  New Audio Channel Strip

Creates a new audio channel strip in the environment. Currently this option is greyed-out so I can’t actually test to see what it does. To change that I have to turn off “Automatic Management of Channel Strip objects” in the “Project Settings”.

The only reason I can think of for using the Environment for me is to place processing on an input channel — print the effect into the recording.

Toggle Auto Set Locators — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Auto Set Locators

That’s a very nifty, hidden set of commands there. I went hunting in the ‘Key Commands’ and could only find ‘Toggle Auto Set Locators’. There appear to be no sub-commands for the options of

by Marquee selection
by Region selection
by Note selection

but there is a hint that the ‘Auto Set Locators’ command can be found in the global menu. Where? Good question.

At the bottom of the Navigate menu I find ‘Auto Set Locators’ and the variations.

Using the Marquee selection to automatically set the cycle area would improve my workflow nicely…I can see the cycle range on the ruler far easier than seeing the Marquee ruler, and if Cycle is on it is very clear where the Marquee selection is.

The ‘Auto Set Locators’ menu items can be discovered by holding down the mouse on the ‘Cycle’ button in the Control Bar.

Stop or Play From Last Position ⌅ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Stop or Play From Last Position    ⌅

The ‘ENTER’ key. When you click in the ruler (time or musical) the position is remembered. This command will start playing from the last position, or stop play.

If you typically use the SPACE key to start and stop play (pause if you will) the position is NOT remembered, so you can pause playback and continue using the space bar, returning to the position by using the ENTER key.

Use transport key commands — Logic Pro X

Some transport functions are available as key commands. Most of these transport key commands have no default assignment, and need to be assigned manually. See Assign keyboard shortcuts.
