Flatten Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips

Removes the tracks from the track stack, and remove the stack channel strip from the mixer. NB that when you remove a stack the channel strip _moves_ to the normal location for an AUX channel or a VCA.

I assume that there is a separate command for this when working in the mixer since there really aren’t any tracks to work with.

In the standard configuration of Logic Pro X the ‘Flatten Stack – ⇧⌘U’ command has no overloaded commands, so you could assign the same keyboard sequence to the ‘Flatten Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips’. I have done this and don’t see any particular downside. The same can be true for ‘Create Track Stack for Selected Channel Strips — ⇧⌘D’.

  Reactivate Upbeat Event Playback

Nothing in the documentation…zip

Closest thing I found was in a Reddit conversation –

– There is a new menu item “Reactivate Upbeat Event Playback” to allow MIDI notes that are ¼ note or less before the start of a region to play, in cases where the left edge of the region has been edited.

but I should have read the release notes — the reddit post is the release notes.

The command is in the contextual MIDI menu in the tracks area. If you modify a MIDI region the command becomes active.

My assumption is that if I modify a region causing an upbeat event to be “removed” this command will cause the region to include the upbeat if it is there.

OK…

  Object Width +1 Pixel  ⌥⇧→

Change the size of the selected object — make it one pixel wider.

In the days of retina displays and massive numbers of pixels it remains unclear about how useful this is. A 19 inch screen that is 1024×768 pixels has a pixel count of approximately 100 per inch. My Retina 5K iMac (5120×2880) is closer to 320 pixels per inch. My eyesight can’t distinguish a single pixel difference in dimension anymore.

Objects can be freely placed, which allows for flexibility, but can lead to overlaps or misalignments—particularly when pasting between layers. Fortunately, you can quickly clean up object positions.

  Make Alias

Create an alias to the currently selected MIDI region(s). Some days commands come back to back. Yesterday was ‘Delete All Orphan Aliases’.

Create MIDI aliases in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

If several regions are selected, their relative time and track positions are retained. The selected track is the destination track for the first region along the Tracks area.
