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

  Set Nudge Value to 10 ms    ⌃⌥0

You can nudge almost anything — notes, regions, events. Keyboard commands allow for much better precision than using a mouse or trackpad. The nudge commands are used for notes (transposition), length (duration), and position (timeline).

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can also nudge regions (move them in small increments) left or right using key commands. To nudge regions, you first set the nudge value, then move selected regions by this value. Alternatively, you can nudge regions by a set value.

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

  Project Information…    ⌥⌘I

All of the important system-level details about the project. I’m not buying the words about project corruption due to memory or drivers…that’s behavior that happened 15 years ago, not so much today.

View project information and reorganize memory — Logic Pro X

In the Project Information window, you can view the number of regions and other objects in a project, the number of different MIDI events, and the amount of memory they use.

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

  Transpose Region/Event +1 Semitone or Nudge Automation up 1 Step    ⌥↑

Raise the pitch of the selected region or event. Works in the Score Editor, Piano Roll, Arrange window. For automation the step is determined by the parameter being automated. Volume is .1 dB. Pan is -63 to +64. Basically the parameter gets 128 values with zero as the center.

Using the nudge keys can help fine-tuning automation curves. Changing pitch is obviously a useful tool.

Change the pitch, duration, and velocity of notes — Logic Pro X

You can change the pitch and duration (length) of selected notes in the Score Editor, as well as their MIDI velocity. The Velocity value signifies how hard the key was struck when the note was recorded. It often corresponds to the volume of the note when played back, but can control other parameters as well.

I can’t seem to locate any specific documentation about using these commands to nudge automation.

Add and adjust automation points — Logic Pro X

To create changes over time to volume, pan, and effects settings, you add automation points to a track’s automation curve at different places, and then adjust the automation points so the value of the setting changes. You can adjust automation points by moving them up or down to a new value or by moving them left or right to a new point in the timeline. Numerical values are displayed alongside each automation point. You can also raise or lower the value of MIDI parameters associated with notes in instrument tracks or Drummer tracks. Note and numerical values are displayed alongside each MIDI data point. You can also add automation points at selection area or region borders.
