  Set All Tracks to Automation Off    ⌃⇧⌘O

Along with the ability to set all tracks O(ff) you can use R(ead), T(ouch), L(atch), and Write (this one is not mapped).

When it comes to automation volume/level I am far more likely to use region gain to adjust levels before I automate. That’s part of the skill/art that I need to work on. We get past the mechanics of doing the automation (and how it works) and concentrate on why it might be artful.

Many things come to mind. Time to post and continue.

Automation overview — Logic Pro X:

Automation refers to recording, editing, and playing back the movements of faders, knobs, and switches. Using automation, you can create changes over time to volume, pan, and other settings. You can add automation to all track types.

Scale of the Day — Ab Major

Ab Major / Ab Bb C Db Eb F G Ab / 4b Bb Eb Ab Db —
F minor / F G Ab Bb C Db Eb F G / 4b Bb Eb Ab Db —

Every morning. Find the scale on the piano. Do the I / IV / I / V / V7 / I chords. Do the i / iv / i / V / V7 / i chords,

I like doing the i , i sus4, V chords as well.

I should really remember to fire up Logic Pro X with my “Quick Record” template before I hit the keyboard. The template has an audio track set to my Advanced Audio DM20 (RE20ish) and a MIDI track ready to record (E-piano).

  Stems: down    ⌃⌥↓

In the Score Editor. Change the direction of note stems to “down””. Personally I find “Stems: none” to be kind of fun and interesting…I also like the options for note heads.

Change stem direction, length, and beaming — Logic Pro X:

By default, a note’s stem direction and length depend on the settings in the Staff Style window. You can change these attributes to improve readability; for example, to group notes meant to be played as a voice in a polyphonic passage.
