Overview of groups in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can also automate a group. This lets you easily set the change for parameters of a group of channel strips over the course of a project. For example, you may wish to group all of your guitar channel strips together and have all of their relative volumes change at the same time throughout your project. For more information on automation, see Overview of automation in Logic Pro.

I don’t think I appreciate the enormous numbers of tracks and channels that can be involved in a project. I might get 30 to 40, but quickly reduce my efforts by busing them in appropriate ways.

Set Locators by Next Marker and Enable Cycle ⌃⌥. — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Set Locators by Next Marker and Enable Cycle   ⌃⌥.

Sets the cycle area to the next marker. Locators are set. Playhead does not move.

I need to become more rigorous in creating markers for the projects I am working on. Part of the “mix preparation” should be identifying the parts of the project.

My typical marker creation consists of using the Marquee tool to select an area, then using the commands

– Global Commands
Set Locators/Loop by Regions/Events/Marquee and Enable Cycle/Loop ⌘U

– Global Commands
Create Marker by Cycle Area ⌃⌥⇧⌘’

I have these 2 commands mapped to my Magic Trackpad — using BetterTouchTool — force-touch-bottom-left-corner.

BetterTouchTool can be found at

folivora.ai — Great Tools for your Mac!

BetterTouchTool is a great, feature packed app that allows you to customize various input devices on your Mac.

You can even trigger BTT with MIDI
