Toggle Hide Group 7    ⌃⇧7

Toggle the visibility of channels in group 7. Toggle — Show/Hide — Open/Close

Helps make use of limited display space and limited concentration.

In the early days of Logic a really big display was 1152 pixels wide in a 19 inch monitor. Current Mac displays have double the pixels (plus some). Small focal areas aren’t forced on us.

The only place where you can see which channels are in a group is in the Mixer displays. It might be nice to have that display in the tracks window, but could be problematic.

Groups inspector in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You use the Groups inspector to define the behavior of each Mixer group. The Groups inspector appears in the Track inspector when one or more groups have been created, and it can be opened as a floating window as well. It contains the following settings:

  Open/Close Audio Insert 11 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Unlikely to occur. I can’t really think of 11 inserts that I would put on a channel, unless I had multiple sets that are placed on the channel for a template.

Work in the plug-in window in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You edit plug-in parameters in the plug-in window, which opens automatically when you insert a plug-in.

  Snap Automation Mode: Bar

Sets snap automation to the bar. When adding or moving automation points they will snap to the nearest bar.

Snap items to the grid in Logic Pro — Apple Support

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:

  New Track with Next Channel / MIDI Channel ⌃↩

Create a new track using the next channel. Increments MIDI channel by 1. Creates new audio and software instrument channels as well.

I don’t get to create tracks in this way, being led by my mixing work, and possibly misled by workflows I have learned.

On the X-Touch the key sequence is SHIFT+OPTION SELECT where SELECT is one of the 8 channels. Creates a new channel to the right of the selected channel.

Something to experiment with.

Create tracks using existing channel strips in Logic Pro — Apple Support

This command creates a new track below the selected track, and assigns the next channel strip to it. If no next channel strip exists, one is created automatically.
