Zoom Window ⌃⌘M — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Zoom Window    ⌃⌘M

This is the “traditional” Macintosh window zoom command. Resize the current window to fill the screen leaving room for the menubar and the Dock. The command exists in the menus (handy that) and can be accomplished by clicking on the rightmost button in the window title bar — the green button in normal color displays.

Toggles between the current size of the window and full screen.

There are lots of zoom settings and commands. Combining these with screensets you can create very comfortable (and fast) workflows.

Zoom windows — Logic Pro X

When you zoom in or out, the top-left (and selected) event or region remains in the visible area of the screen. If no selected region or event is visible, zooming is centered around the playhead. If the playhead isn’t visible, the current center of the window is retained.

Show/Hide Automation A ⌃1⃣ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Show/Hide Automation   A   ⌃1⃣

Expose the automation lanes for tracks. This is why we have computers for making music 😉

Show automation curves — Logic Pro X

Before you can add automation points to a track’s automation curves, you need to show the automation curves. Automation curves are displayed as colored curves and points on top of audio and MIDI regions across the track, running the length of the project. You can choose whether to view and edit automation across the track (track-based automation) or only within the track’s regions (region-based automation).

Select Project 10 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Select Project 10

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.

Show/Hide Auxiliary Channel Strips ⇧3⃣ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

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

  Show/Hide Auxiliary Channel Strips        ⇧3⃣

Shows or hides the AUX channel strips in the mixer windows. There can be a large number of AUX channel strips so giving us some room is a good thing.

The buttons at the top of the mixer windows control which channel strips are visible.

Changing visible channel strips using the buttons does *not* change which channels are visible on the X-Touch.
