Recall Screenset 8 8 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Recall Screenset 8    8

Think of Screensets as workspaces. You can display windows, position them, zoom tracks as needed for a part of a workflow and save everything in place.

Keep reiterating. Use screensets. Come to depend on them.

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.

Select Project 2 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Select Project 2

Select one of the open projects. It isn’t clear how Logic decides to number projects, and certainly not clear what they had in mind by allowing us to select 20 different projects.

My experiment was to open project A, open project B, and ‘Select Project 2’. That did nothing. ‘Select Project 1’ did nothing as well. I opened project C. Now ‘Select Project 1’ selects B, and ‘Select Project 2’ selects C. A seems forgotten.

The ‘Next/Previous Project’ commands do not wrap around, so if you are at the end (or beginning) of the internal list the command does nothing.

No idea.

Apply Transform User Preset 13 to selected Events — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Apply Transform User Preset 13 to selected Events

The MIDI Transform window can be opened from the Window menu, or by entering ‘⌘9’. There are 30 ‘Apply Transform User Preset … to selected Events’.

Use transform sets — Logic Pro X:

1. Choose Create New Transform Set from the Presets pop-up menu.

2. Set conditions and operations.

3. Select the “Hide unused parameters” checkbox. This helps to avoid changes to conditions and operations that aren’t required for (or may disturb) your transform set.

4. Choose New Parameter Set (Number) from the Presets pop-up menu. Enter a new name for your transform set.

This transform set now appears at the bottom of the Presets list in all MIDI Transform windows for this project. You should consider saving your user transform sets in one or more template projects. This way, they are always available to you in all future projects.

Tip: Renaming an existing transform set creates a new transform set that is identical to the original. The existing (source) transform set is retained.
