Go Out of Folder or Region — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Go Out of Folder or Region

How apropos. Spent a long time yesterday trying to make the ‘Go Out of Folder or Region’ command work from the X-Touch. In theory the ENTER key goes into a folder, and CANCEL goes out. No matter what was tried, the CANCEL key on the X-Touch would not “go out” of the folder. Actually, no key presses from the X-Touch would “go out”.

You can “go out” of a folder by clicking the “left up” arrow button at the top of the Arrange window on the left side.

For the first time I have actually come up with a project where a folder of MIDI tracks makes sense. It’s all about making the projects easier to navigate and comprehend.

Clear Overload Flag in Audio Channel Display ⌃⌥⌘C — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Clear Overload Flag in Audio Channel Display   ⌃⌥⌘C

Clears the overload flag as well as clearing the peak level display. A red peak level indicates clipping in the output signal (24 or 16 bit) which results in distortion and lost signal. An orange peak level indicates clipping in the 32 bit domain, so it is not necessarily bad, but is certainly an indicator that there may be problems to be dealt with prior to output.

On the MCU/X-Touch the clip LED (red at top of meter) is cleared. This had not been the case in some versions of Logic Pro X, but it is functional as of version 10.4.8.

The overload indicator can be cleared from the X-Touch by pressing CONTROL and NAME/VALUE.

The overload indicator can be cleared by clicking on any of the peak level indicators in the display.

Peak level display and signal clipping — Logic Pro X

The peak level display is a numerical display located above the level meter. It updates during playback to show the peak level reached, after the entire signal has been played through to the end, and provides a guide that should be used to set the Volume fader.

Hold down the CONTROL button, then press the NAME/VALUE button to clear any overload (clipping) indicators in the Logic Pro Mixer and in the LCD if the Horizontal with Peak Hold mode is active.

Toggle Channel Strip Record Enable — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Channel Strip Record Enable

The Toggle Channel Strip commands affect the channel strip associated with the track that is selected in the Arrange window.

It may appear that the commands work on the channel selected in the Mixer window (when Arrange is closed), but as the selection of channels changes to auxiliary strips the changes continue to affect the last track selected in the Arrange window.
