text is a tough way to do audio — ⇧ SHIFT — ⌃ CONTROL — ⌥ OPTION — ⌘ COMMAND
Set Left Locator by Rounded Playhead
Set the left locator to the nearest barline to the playhead. Rounding can cause the playhead to move earlier, or later in the timeline.

Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events/Marquee: Rounds the position of the locators to the barline that is nearest to the beginning and end points of the selected regions or events, or the marquee selection.
I was introduced to ‘Sends on Faders’ with my XR18 and the X-Air Edit software mixer. I didn’t really understand the power, but it certainly made it easy to adjust effect send levels.
Logic Pro (X) brought us ‘Sends on Faders’ in version 10.4.2. A new workflow is now possible.
I have to couple the ‘Sends on Faders’ discussion with a better understanding of using multiple mixer windows in a screenset. I can create multiple, different mixer windows and toggle between them with the ‘Cycle Through Windows ⌘`’.
On the left side of the screen I have the mixer window set to ‘Tracks’ with all of my summing stacks (bus folders, however you want to call them — AUX channels with a bus for input) collapsed giving me 24 channel strips. On the right side of the screen I have a mixer window set to ‘Single’ which will show all of the channels involved in getting sound from the selected channel to the outputs.
I can simply select a channel in the left window and the right window changes to show me the actual channels involved. The X-Touch follows the mixer view, so when I select the left window I have the faders and controls ‘under hand’.
I have an extended keyboard plugged in to the X-Touch so I can use key commands to change views.
Next on the reading list is a much deeper read of the Control Surfaces manual to understand the various methods of using the SEND functions on the X-Touch — much to learn.
I am actively involved in discussions on gearspace.com about the joys of the X-Touch

Hope you’re all well. Recently I bought an X Touch (universal Control…). I read (and seen on youtube) that it’s suppose to work pretty much as is out of the box with LPX.

Remove Bypassed Plug-ins
Removes bypassed plug-ins from the insert slots on the selected channel(s). It’s good to clean up channel strips every once in a while.

In Logic Pro, click the Setting button at the top of the channel strip, then choose Remove Bypassed Plug-ins from the pop-up menu.
Mastering 2-Bus Compression With Logic Pro’s Compressor | Logic Pro
My colleague Steve DeMott did an article on 2-Buss compression recently. He describes various practical compression techniques and approaches when applying compression to a full mix on the stereo bus. In this video, I take some of his ideas and develop them using Logic’s powerful and flexible built-in compressor plug-in. There is a lot more to this plug-in than initially meets the eye, especially when it comes to “glue” style bus processing.

Use MIDI transform sets in Logic Pro — Apple Support
Depending on your needs, it may be worthwhile to create your own transform sets. These can be configured and saved as part of a project. (Doing this in your template projects makes your transform sets available in all projects.) Your transform sets are shown at the bottom of the Presets pop-up menu.
