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

  Mute Notes/Regions/Folders On/Off    ⌃M

Toggle Mute on the selected item(s). Use the Mute Tool to mute an item, or a few of them. The ‘Select Muted Regions/Events ⇧M’ command will select everything that has been muted.

I am thinking about comparing muted notes and regions as a kind of subtractive EQ — remove some sound to expose or clarify, toggle as necessary to help focus on the desired action.

Mute and solo regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can mute one or more regions in the Tracks area to exclude them from playback. You can also solo individual regions, to hear them in isolation, and lock the solo status of regions.

Mute and delete regions and events — Logic Pro X

The Mute and Delete functions go hand in hand, because you often want to remove events you have muted.

  Snap Mode: 1/4 Triplet (1/6)

The Snap Mode menu/control that I regularly see (and on occasion, use) is at the top of the Tracks window. Interestingly, the menu does not contain the note or triplet options. If I assign the command to a key and invoke it the Snap Mode control “blanks” giving no indication that it is enabled, or what it is set to.

I suspect that this is a bug, or a set of modes that are no longer considered useful. In either event I am very unlikely to set my Snap mode to ‘1/4 Triplet’.

Snap items to the grid — Logic Pro X:

The Tracks area includes a grid that helps you align regions, automation points, and other items with the time divisions in the ruler. When you perform any of the following actions, the items move according to the current Snap value:

If I am using the Piano Roll editor the Snap Mode control does show the note-valued menu items, and displays it as ‘1/4 T’. Snap modes appear to be independently set in the two edit/arrange windows. As I thought about this, and looked at the interesting 1/96 setting I remembered the ‘old days’ of MIDI where time could be specified down to 1/96th of a quarter note.

Nudge values can be set to the note-valued settings as well.

  Remove Overlaps    \

Removing overlaps is essentially the same as the “Trim Region” commands. If there are no overlapping regions the command changes nothing.

Resize regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X:

Remove overlaps between regions

Select the overlapping regions, or select all regions on the track by clicking the track header.

Choose Edit > Trim > Remove Overlaps (or press \).

Where the selected regions overlap, the length of the left (earlier) region is reduced to remove the overlap.

  Copy MIDI Events…

The command is found in the “Edit” menu of the usual places — Tracks, Events, Piano Roll. Unlikely that I would turn this into a keyboard command. There are lots of things to be fiddled with.

Edit events overview — Logic Pro X:

The Event List L(ock), M(ute), Position, Status, Ch(annel), Num(ber), Val(ue), and Length/Info columns display all details of all event types. In most cases, you can directly edit the data displayed (except for the Status column, which indicates the event type).

There is more detailed discussion of this in the Piano Roll documentation.

Copy notes in the Piano Roll Editor — Logic Pro X:

There are a number of ways to copy or move notes in the Piano Roll Editor. In addition to Option-dragging or using the Copy and Paste menu commands, there are advanced Copy and Move operations such as directly swapping events, or merging a group of notes from one section of a region to the same region, or another region.
