  Set Right Locator numerically…

The locators are your friend. How can I set thee? Let me count the ways…

I use buttons on the control bar to set locators, and have been trying to train myself to use the ‘Set Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee and Enable Cycle — ⌘U’, but sometimes setting the position numerically might make sense.

NB the ‘Set Locator numerically’ command opens a modal dialog — nothing else can be accomplished until the dialog is dismissed.

How to Make Your Kick Drum Go Boom

by DJ Pangburn, iZotope Contributor May 28, 2019

Learning how to give a kick drum a greater depth and boom takes time and effort. It’s just not something that comes right away, unless one happens to be a naturally born electronic music or hip hop producer.

I like learning how to get different sounds with step-by-step exposition of what is going on and how things affect the sound.

I recently purchased

Sasquatch Kick Machine 2 | Boz Digital Labs

Sasquatch 2 is a CPU-friendly kick drum enhancement plug-in that enables you to custom-tailor the sound of any kick drum, acoustic or electronic, with exhaustive creative possibilities, ranging from subtle to extreme and beyond.

which gets to booming kick drums (and then some) in short order. Great fun working on interesting sounds.

Making Sense of Mac Keyboard Symbols — OSXDaily.com

Ever wondered what those Mac keyboard symbols mean and what they translate to? You see them on a lot of Mac keyboards and on plenty of keyboard shortcut lists, looking like strange glyphs (⌥), shapes (⇪), and bugs splattered on windshields (⌘). They can be fairly confusing, which is why we at OSXDaily.com always try to manually write out the key itself.

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

  Sends on Faders - Previous Send

New in Logic Pro X version 10.4 (or very close to it). I was first exposed to ‘Sends on Faders’ using my Behringer XR18 mixer. I had no clue about what it was, and it took a few tries to get it right in my brain. Totally useful.

When ‘Sends on Faders’ is enabled the faders on the mixer are used to adjust the level of the currently selected send, as opposed to adjusting the level of the track. This makes creating cue mixes almost child’s play.

I use this to move elements of a mix closer or further away using reverb. The higher the fader is the further away it should be in the sound stage.

Previous and Next Send are circular. When the last send is selected Next circles around to the first, and vice versa.

Control sends on faders in Logic Pro X — Apple Support

In the mixer, use channel faders to control send level, and use channel pan controls to pan sends.
