  Convert Auto Slur

Change an Automatic Slur to a manual slur. Brings up a question about slurs and piano, guitar, and possibly other instruments. I know how to play a slur on a brass or reed instrument.

Add dynamic marks, slurs, and crescendi — Logic Pro X

To convert an automatic slur to a manual slur: Use the Convert Auto Slur key command.

Note: A manual slur cannot be converted to an automatic slur.

found this explanation while pondering the question…

Slurs have different meanings for different instruments, and for singers. For example, for string instruments (violin, cello, etc) all the notes under a slur are played with one movement of the bow, but in some situations there can still be intentional gaps between the notes! In vocal music, slurs merely indicate that one syllable of the lyrics is sung to more than one note, and nothing more than that.

Here Is An Easy And Elegant Way To Emulate A Commonly Used Pro Tools Workflow in Logic | Logic Pro

An extremely common workflow when editing in Pro Tools is to tap the Tab key to move the insertion point to the end of the region, and then again to the beginning of the next region (And Option Tab to move backwards.) So, with two taps of the tab key, the user can then hit the space bar to start playback from each successive region on a track. This routine uses three keystrokes in all (two using the same key.) Moving from region start to region start is a handy way to navigate the timeline, when not working with strict bars and beats, or memory locations (markers for us Logic users). Tab — Tab — Spacebar. Tab -Tab Spacebar, etc.

Change Gain… ⌃G — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Change Gain…   ⌃G

You can adjust the gain of the audio file, destructively. I use this command whenever I get an audio file that has a maximum gain of 0.0 dB — Logic can’t (or won’t) manipulate this audio in a non-destructive fashion, so I reduce it by .1 dB.

The key command is shared with “Normalize Region Gain” which I use all the time to adjust tracks to have peak values of -9 to -6 dB. The only time this would be counter-productive is when I get multi-tracks of a live performance. In these cases the peaks are performance coordinated. Use the Gain plugin across every track to lower the gain of everything equally — turn down the recording.

The Logic Pros: 3 helpful tricks to streamline your MIDI/audio editing — 9to5Mac

In this week’s episode of The Logic Pros, we will be continuing our look at some of Logic Pro X’s underused features and key commands with some helpful editing tricks. We are also going start our master Solo Jedi training with some interesting uses for the various Solo modes, locks and more.

Use output channel strips — Logic Pro X

By default, a project contains one output channel strip that takes the signal from all the individual tracks in the project. You add additional output channel strips to assign submixes, or to prevent them from being controlled by the master channel strip.

Today seems like a good day to learn how output channels really work. Also time to learn about Solo and the various ways it looks. Solo Lock and Solo Safe become interesting.
