Catch Playhead Position ` — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Catch Playhead Position    `

That’s not a speck of dust on the screen — it’s the backquote — on the tilde key.

Toggles the “Catch Playhead” button and stops scrolling or catches up depending on the state.

If regions are scrolling along with the playhead during playback you can stop the scrolling, perform some task, and then catch back up.

I need to learn more about how the playhead works in the windows other than Arrange.

Control how windows change as the playhead moves — Logic Pro X

You can control how windows update to reflect changes to the playhead position using Catch modes. When you work in Catch mode, the visible section of a window follows the playhead during playback or recording.

  Go to End

Move the playhead to the end of the project. Compare this to “Go to End of Last Region — ⌥↩” which moves the playhead to the end of the last region. You can toggle between the beginning of the project ‘↩’ and the end of the last region with ‘⌥↩’.

Show/Hide Score Editor N — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Show/Hide Score Editor    N

Toggles the Score Editor window. I think I would be more likely to leave the Score Editor open in a screenset and just swap those. I don’t do a lot with scoring at this time.

The toggle opens and closes the score editor at the bottom of the arrange window. Having that open with a single track makes some sense. If the score editor is the only window open toggle will create a full screen score editor. Odd.

Logic is one of the programs on the Mac that doesn’t “play nice” with window management.

Notation overview — Logic Pro X

You can view MIDI regions in software instrument (and external MIDI instrument) tracks as music notation in the Score Editor. Notes and other musical events are displayed as standard notation, along with common symbols such as time and key signature, bar lines, and clef signs. You can add and edit notes, add sustain pedal markings and other symbols, and print the score.

The Subtle Art of Pitch Correction | Universal Audio

Mix engineers today are asked to do far more than simply mix the song. In fact, it’s now expected that they clean the tracks, eliminate pops and clicks, adjust the track timing, and replace or augment some of the sounds as well. Another job that falls to many mix engineers today is correcting the pitch of any track that needs it. This process is faster and easier than ever, but like anything else, you still need good fundamental technique to seamlessly pull it off.

Some advice on pitch correction from Bobby Owsinski.
