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

  Change Gain…   ⌃G

You can adjust the gain of the audio file, destructively. I use this command whenever I get an audio file that has a maximum gain of 0.0 dB — Logic can’t (or won’t) manipulate this audio in a non-destructive fashion, so I reduce it by .1 dB.

The key command is shared with “Normalize Region Gain” which I use all the time to adjust tracks to have peak values of -9 to -6 dB. The only time this would be counter-productive is when I get multi-tracks of a live performance. In these cases the peaks are performance coordinated. Use the Gain plugin across every track to lower the gain of everything equally — turn down the recording.

The Logic Pros: 3 helpful tricks to streamline your MIDI/audio editing — 9to5Mac

In this week’s episode of The Logic Pros, we will be continuing our look at some of Logic Pro X’s underused features and key commands with some helpful editing tricks. We are also going start our master Solo Jedi training with some interesting uses for the various Solo modes, locks and more.

Use output channel strips — Logic Pro X

By default, a project contains one output channel strip that takes the signal from all the individual tracks in the project. You add additional output channel strips to assign submixes, or to prevent them from being controlled by the master channel strip.

Today seems like a good day to learn how output channels really work. Also time to learn about Solo and the various ways it looks. Solo Lock and Solo Safe become interesting.

Solo Lock Mode: Manual not super clear, and I don’t get it — Logic Pro Help

Using Solo Lock: On occasion, you may want to lock the solo status of several regions. As an example, this would be especially useful when you want to make changes to the playback parameters of a region, while listening to a specific group of soloed tracks.

I understand Solo Lock a little better now.

Toggles the output track in the Arrange window. I haven’t had an occasion where I thought that I needed this.
