  Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events

I frequently use the ‘Set Rounded Locators by Regions/Events and Enable Cycle’ command. Select an area with the Marquee tool and type ‘U’.

Use the cycle area — Logic Pro X

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.

  Set Nudge Value to 1/4 Triplet (1/6)

Assuming a quarter note division…

Two quarter note triplets will have six notes evenly space over one bar, the 1/6.

The documentation makes no mention of the “note-based” nudge values.

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can move regions to a different point in the same track, or move them to another track of the same type. You can move an audio region to another audio track, for example, but not to a software instrument track, or vice versa. You can also move regions between open Tracks area windows, or between different open projects.

  Snap Mode: Off

Turns off all automatic snap of items to boundaries. I haven’t used this. I am not sure when I would.

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:

  Toggle Current Track Automation Touch/Read        ⌃2⃣

Control-Touch Bar 2

Arm/disarm tracks for Touch Automation.

I am going to try mapping Touch Bar commands to keypad commands.

There are dedicated buttons on the MCU for Automation which accomplish setting the Automation modes.

The GROUP button caught my eye — it is NOT an Automation function. It does let you control group settings and add/remove tracks from groups. The cursor pad controls which group and lets you scroll through the parameters.

Choose automation modes — Logic Pro X

Automation modes determine how automation tracks are treated. Automation is either being read or being written. You can independently set the automation mode for each track. You can also trim automation values and record relative automation data.

Touch: Plays back automation in the same way as Read mode. You can modify the value of the chosen automation parameter by moving controls in Touch mode. After the fader or knob is released, the parameter follows existing automation on the track.
