Toggle Hide Group 63 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Hide Group 63

Change the hide state of group 63. There is no group 63. The maximum group is 32. Maybe in a future release.

Still keeping groups in mind. Possibly use groups during mix and routing setup, then disabling during mixing.

Possibly a combination of a group for every summing stack?

You can also automate a group. This lets you easily set the change for parameters of a group of channel strips over the course of a project. For example, you may wish to group all of your guitar channel strips together and have all of their relative volumes change at the same time throughout your project. For more information on automation, see Overview of automation in Logic Pro.

Close Project ⌥⌘W — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Close Project    ⌥⌘W

Close the current project. If there are any unsaved changes Logic will prompt you to save the changes.

‘Close Project without saving’ is ⌃⌥⌘W

Save Logic Pro projects — Apple Support

Logic Pro autosaves your work so that you don’t lose important changes if the app quits unexpectedly. Logic Pro shows a dialog when you reopen the project, asking if you want to use the autosaved version. If you choose not to, Logic Pro opens the last manually saved version of the project.

Toggle Hide Group 39 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Hide Group 39

Toggle between showing and hiding channels in group 39. This command is defined, but does not exist. There are currently only 32 groups possible (Logic Pro 10.6.1)

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.

Rename Track Alternative by Selected Region — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Rename Track Alternative by Selected Region

Name the current track alternative with the name of the selected region.

Handy way to keep the arrangement window clear and informative.

Track alternatives were not available when I first started using Logic. Not being a person to “comp tracks” the whole process seemed opaque. I need to investigate the use of track alternatives as opposed to alternative versions of a project.

Use track alternatives in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can create and edit track alternatives and switch between them. Each alternative can contain different regions or arrangements, while sharing the same channel strip and plug-ins. Track alternatives are like “playlists” for individual tracks that can be used to try out different ideas or archive tracks at different stages of development.

Set Nudge Value to Sample ⌃⌥S — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Set Nudge Value to Sample    ⌃⌥S

Sets the nudge value to a sample.

This allows for extremely fine adjustment to the location of audio. One practical application would be to adjust bass tracks that were recorded with a DI and with a microphone on the amplifier. The DI signal will sound sooner than the amped signal. This typically doesn’t sound so good. Adjusting the DI track forward by a few samples (or move the amped track backward) can make the sound much better.

If multiple instruments were captured by microphones at the same time I would move the DI forward. If it’s only the bass tracks it doesn’t matter which one you move.

NB check the phase of the two signals. Flipping the phase can make an enormous difference in the sound.

Move regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

You can 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.
