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

  Attach Symbol: Down-Bow

I do not read string parts, so all the performance notes are a learning experience for me. The down-bow mark is found in the Parts Box (Score Editor) under “Ornaments”.

The symbol is not included in any font that I have easy access to. It has three sides — left, top, right. The top line is thicker than the sides.

Unicode Character ‘MUSICAL SYMBOL COMBINING DOWN BOW’ (U+1D1AA)

  Select Used Instruments

Personally I prefer new instruments…

In the Environment. Part of the arcana of Logic Pro X. I don’t see myself building amazing MIDI environments in the near future.

  Set Scissors Tool        ⌥3⃣

Change the cursor tool to Scissors. Not something I do at all. I expect I should do more editing.

Normally I am splitting regions at song-length boundaries which I do by positioning the playhead at the proper location, select ALL the tracks, and “Split at Playhead”. I also create a marker at the playhead position.

Split regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can split a region in the Tracks area, and use the split segments of the region in different places in the Tracks area.

Common tools — Logic Pro X

Use the Scissors tool to split regions and events, allowing individual sections to be copied, moved, or deleted.

  Stop and Go to Beginning

Defining keyboard commands for the various stop and play commands can speed up repetitive work. I need to practice setting my transport buttons (and commands) to better match how I am working — mixing a song, segmenting a live audio session into multiple songs or chapters.

Use transport key commands — Logic Pro X

Stop and Go to Beginning: Stops playback and moves the playhead to the project start position.
