Event Channel = 3 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Event Channel =   3

Set the MIDI channel of the select(ed) event(s) to 3. Somehow I don’t think I would map a key command to set a specific channel, but I might map the ‘Event Channel +1’ and ‘Event Channel -1’ commands.

Event List overview — Logic Pro X:

The Event List is the most powerful, flexible, and complete MIDI editor in Logic Pro. All MIDI event types are listed alphanumerically in the Event List.

You can:

View all aspects of events—start and end points, length, channel, and values

View all events in a region

Filter the list to restrict this view to one or more event types, such as notes, pitch bend events, or both

Customized Event List views are saved to screensets and are displayed when screensets are recalled. This makes the selection and editing of events faster and simpler.

All functions and options are shown at the top of the Event List area. The events themselves are shown in the list below.

Create Tempo Change — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Create Tempo Change

Adds a tempo point at the current location of the playhead. If the Tempo track is not open the Tempo list will open with the new tempo point selected. If the Tempo track is open the tempo point is created and selected.

Add and edit tempo points — Logic Pro X

In the Tempo track, tempo changes appear as tempo points. You create tempo changes by adding tempo points, then editing their values. You can move and copy tempo points, create tempo curves, and edit tempo points in other ways. You can also apply smoothing to tempo points or replace selected tempo points by the average tempo.

Show/Hide Groups Window ⌥⇧G ⇧6⃣ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Show/Hide Groups Window    ⌥⇧G ⇧6⃣

Groups are basically defined by number. You are expected to know which group is which. When you use the key command ‘Toggle Hide Group 1 — ⌃⇧1’ you are expected to know which channels that affects. Having the Groups window open allows you to see group numbers and names. Likely command sequence is ‘Show Groups Window’ followed by ‘Toggle Hide Group n”.

NB the toggle hide commands do not behave consistently if there is only a mixer window open.

Groups overview — Logic Pro X

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.
