  Nudge Region/Event Length Left by Nudge Value    ⌥⇧←

The Nudge command that I use! I set the nudge value in the toolbar and use the key commands to move right or left as required. Typically I am using 1 ms as my nudge value. Nudging avoids problems with drag and snap.

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can also 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.

⇧ SHIFT – ⌃ CONTROL – ⌥ OPTION – ⌘ COMMAND

Delete Unselected MIDI Events Within Selection — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Delete Unselected MIDI Events Within Selection

Unselected within selection sounds kind of odd. How can a selection be unselected? When described as events within locators it make a lot more sense. A region, or parts of regions indicated by locators constitutes “selection” for purposes of this command.

Simply put, delete all of the events I haven’t chosen, bounded by locators or region.

Mute and delete regions and events — Logic Pro X

The Mute and Delete functions go hand in hand, because you often want to remove events you have muted.

  Go to Selection Start    ⌃↖

Move the playhead to the start of the selection. Select an area with the Marquee tool, press control-home, playhead moves to the start. Excellent tool.

I need to remember to turn on the Marquee ruler so I can get my eyes adjusted to seeing it along with the other rulers (the Marquee selection could easily be off screen).

Select parts of regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X

You can select and edit parts of one or more regions, using the Marquee tool or the marquee stripe:

  Defeat Interpretation    ⌃I

Treat the selected notes as recorded or written. Do not extend notes to minimize rests, etc. Play it like a computer, not a human 😉

Change the syncopation or interpretation of notes — Logic Pro X

By default, note syncopation and interpretation match the settings chosen in the Region inspector. You can change interpretation settings for individual notes to improve readability.

Interpretation — Logic Pro X

If Interpretation is turned off, note lengths are displayed as closely as possible to their real values, as determined by the Quantize value. In the following example, the same MIDI region is shown twice, the first with Interpretation turned off, the second with it turned on:

  Cable serially    ⌃S

Used in the Environment to “run cables” between objects. Days from before.

Cable objects in series and in parallel — Logic Pro X

You can cable objects in series and in parallel. Cabling objects in series is useful for quickly connecting groups of faders that are used to control a MIDI mixing console, for example.
