  Nudge Region/Event Position Left by SMPTE Bit

One of the many nudge commands that can be used without having to set the Nudge Value before using. I would program keyboard commands for the nudge events, probably arrow keys with modifiers. Another useful possibility would be to program the keypad in an arrow pattern — 8 (up) 2 (down) 4 (left) 6 right.

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can move regions to a different point in the same track, or move them to another track of the same type. You can move an audio region to another audio track, for example, but not to a software instrument track, or vice versa. You can also move regions between open Tracks area windows, or between different open projects.

The X-Touch (MCU) has nudge features pre-defined. I would probably use this if I had the X-Touch in front of a display. Currently it is not feasible.

  Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events

I frequently use the ‘Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events and Enable Cycle’ command. Select an area with the Marquee tool and type ‘U’.

Set Nudge Value to 1/4 Triplet (1/6) — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Set Nudge Value to 1/4 Triplet (1/6)

Assuming a quarter note division…

Two quarter note triplets will have six notes evenly space over one bar, the 1/6.

The documentation makes no mention of the “note-based” nudge values.

Turns off all automatic snap of items to boundaries. I haven’t used this. I am not sure when I would.

Snap items to the grid — Logic Pro X

The Tracks area includes a grid that helps you align regions, automation points, and other items with the time divisions in the ruler. When you perform any of the following actions, the items move according to the current Snap value:
