Region Automation: Volume — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Region Automation: Volume

Set the region automation ‘lane’ to volume.

Region-based vs. track-based automation — Apple Support

Logic Pro offers two types of automation: track-based automation, and region-based automation. Track-based automation can be applied to the entire track, from the beginning to the end of your project. Region-based automation only applies to the specific region the automation parameters are connected to. With track-based automation, if you re-record, move or copy regions (either to another point on the same track, or to another track) the automation data remains tied to the initial point on the track in which it was created. With region-based automation, if you re-record the region, the automation is lost; if you move or copy the region (either to another point on the same track, or to another track) the automation remains with the region. Region-based automation is particularly useful when you are automating instrument parameters.

Set Nudge Value to 10 Ticks — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Set Nudge Value to 10 Ticks

Adjust the nudge value to move 10 ticks at a time. A tick is a measurement of MIDI resolution. There are 960 ticks in a beat. A one second “beat” has 960 ticks of 1.04 milliseconds. A 10 tick movement would be approximately 1/100th of a second — .01 seconds.

Move regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

When you move a region, it snaps to the nearest position on the Tracks area grid, using the current Snap value. You can override the grid by holding down Control while dragging regions to move them in steps of one division, or by holding down both Control and Shift while dragging to move them by single ticks or samples (depending on the zoom setting).

Select Project 12 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Select Project 12

Selects the twelfth project that is open. Not particularly useful. Probably a bad idea to have that many projects open. Maybe this is a holdover from trying to do live performance of sets of songs? How do you order or rank them?

Open Logic Pro projects — Apple Support

You can open an existing project to continue working. You can also open several projects simultaneously, allowing you to copy or move data between them, or to compare different versions of a project.

Just say no.

Slicing Loops — Power Up With These Six Tips | Production Expert

The ability to slice audio loops up into their constituent hits and map them across the keyboard for unfettered rearrangement has been a staple music production technique since 1994, when the release of Propellerhead’s Recycle! application changed the sampling game forever.
