  Region Automation: Control Change 28

One of the Region Automations that has a command available for setting. With automation showing (press the A key) you click on the “Track” automation button to change it to “Region”. All 128 MIDI CC can be automated, as well as things in the Logic workspace.

Most of the MIDI CC automations actually insert the MIDI CC messages into the Event List.

Note “D#” E — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Note “D#”  E

One of the keyboard keys for Musical Typing. I can’t look at the keys to make this happen. The confilct of the E key not being an E makes my brain hurt. With the window open, and making sure my fingers are in the correct placement on the keyboard I can almost make sense “playing” the one octave keyboard.

This is very handy, and a complete surprise to anyone who started using Logic with Logic Pro X. I still haven’t figured out why there is a bullet character at the front of the command, but whatever…these would make great commands for the Touch Bar.

  Play/Stop Region    ⌃⇧˽

When you are editing audio it can be useful to play parts of the audio that aren’t currently selected. The ‘Play/Stop Region’ command plays from the beginning of the region, as opposed to continuing from the selection.

I will need to read if I am going to do any serious audio editing in Logic.

Recall Screenset 1x ⌃1 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Recall Screenset 1x    ⌃1

Recall screensets 10 through 19. I haven’t used more than 5 in any of my projects, but I can certainly see how it might come to that. I have yet to try the intriguing “switch to screenset ##” during playback. That could be a big time saver if there are some extra fiddly things that need to be looked at.

Create, recall, and switch screensets — Logic Pro X

You position windows in a layout that suits the way you work. This layout of various windows, including their display size, zoom levels, position, and other settings, is called a screenset. Once defined, you can save, and freely switch between different screensets, much as you might between different computer displays.
