Copy Value to All Following Events ⇧V — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Copy Value to All Following Events    ⇧V

This command is found in the “Event Editor” section of commands. The “Event Editor” is the Event List. The command should be named “Paste Value to All Following Events” since that is what it does. That “copy/paste” way of thinking of things.

You could change the velocity of every event following the selected one — select the velocity value, click outside of the field, and copy. Could be useful.

Octave 6 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Octave 6

Choose the sixth octave on the Step Input Keyboard. This is the octave starting at ‘C6’.

The Step Input Keyboard covers the full range of a standard 88-key piano with an entire octave starting on ‘C7’ (‘C#7’ to ‘B7’) and an extra 4 keys at the lower end (‘F-1’ to ‘G#-1’).

Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.

  Step Backwards ←

Only available when the Step Input Keyboard is the keyboard focus. Move the playhead to the next event in the timeline.

Apply Normalize Region/Cell Gain Again ⌃G — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Apply Normalize Region/Cell Gain Again    ⌃G

I habitually change Region gain on tracks that I mix. My current target is peaks of -12 dB. I don’t change region gain if all of the tracks come from a “live” performance where players are typically self-adjusting. In those cases I work with the faders all set to about -9 dB to start.

Normalize audio regions in the Tracks area — Apple Support

You can normalize the gain of selected regions in the Tracks area, without opening the regions in the Audio Track Editor. The Normalize Region Gain menu command is non-destructive: the original file isn’t altered, so you can return it to its original state.

Select Members of Group 58 — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Select Members of Group 58

There are commands available to select all of the channels in a group. Logic has “group affecting” commands for 64 groups. Reality is that there are currently only 32 groups supported. This is one of the “phantom commands”. Maybe they will come up with an idea for using groups in the step sequencer…

Is it possible that these commands are directed to the other “groups” in the Score Editor, Project Audio, or Sampler (Zone/Group)?

Overview of groups in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can also automate a group. This lets you easily set the change for parameters of a group of channel strips over the course of a project. For example, you may wish to group all of your guitar channel strips together and have all of their relative volumes change at the same time throughout your project.
