Unpack Folder to Existing Tracks — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Unpack Folder to Existing Tracks

Unpacks (moves) regions in a folder to an existing set of tracks. If you pack some tracks into a folder, and leave the tracks intact, an unpack will restore the regions to the original tracks — see the actual clarification in the documentation.

Read the “Logic Pro folders overview” carefully. I think I don’t pay enough attention to the possibilities that folders allow. A question that comes to mind…can I make an alias of a folder? The answer is yes, you can make an alias of a folder. Just hold down option-shift while dragging the folder region around. Deep. Many possibilities.

Pack and unpack folders in Logic Pro — Apple Support

The regions contained within the folder are placed on tracks assigned to appropriate channel strips.

A folder is a region that can contain other regions, similar to a folder in the Finder that can contain different files. You can edit a folder in many of the same ways you edit a MIDI region.

Flatten Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Flatten Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips

Removes the tracks from the track stack, and remove the stack channel strip from the mixer. NB that when you remove a stack the channel strip _moves_ to the normal location for an AUX channel or a VCA.

I assume that there is a separate command for this when working in the mixer since there really aren’t any tracks to work with.

In the standard configuration of Logic Pro X the ‘Flatten Stack – ⇧⌘U’ command has no overloaded commands, so you could assign the same keyboard sequence to the ‘Flatten Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips’. I have done this and don’t see any particular downside. The same can be true for ‘Create Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips — ⇧⌘D’.
