Select All Following ⇧F — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Select All Following    ⇧F

There are multiple meanings of “all following”.

In the Score Editor you can select all of the notes following the current selection.

Select notes in the Logic Pro Score Editor — Apple Support

Choose Edit > Select All Following.

In the tracks area you can select all of the following regions for a project, not simply a track. I am not quite sure about this behavior. It appears that ‘Select All Following’ will select all regions, on any track, that start later in the timeline (following.) Markers are included in the selection.

It appears that all ‘events’ following the current event are selected. Select all following works infall of the lists.

Toggle Metronome Click K — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Metronome Click    K

Turns the metronome on and off. I should try doing this while working on a track sometime, just to hear how far things may slip.

Use the metronome in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Logic Pro includes a metronome, which plays a steady beat (like a “click track”) to help you play and record in time. You can turn the metronome on or off when you’re recording, or any time your project is playing. The metronome always plays at the project tempo. This means that if a tempo map has been created by Smart Tempo, the metronome automatically follows it. It also means that if Smart Tempo is automatically adapting the project tempo to the performance being recorded, the timing of the metronome adapts along with it. For more information about Smart Tempo, see Logic Pro Smart Tempo overview.

“K” is for Klopfgeist | Logic Pro

Klopfgeist is the software instrument that powers Logic’s Metronome function. For many of us, there’s not much more to think about with the Klopfgeist other than enabling the Metronome and hitting “record.” But there’s plenty to dig into with our trusty and unwavering click. Whether it be for utility or creativity.

Select First, or Shift Marquee Selection Left ⇧↖ — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Select First, or Shift Marquee Selection Left    ⇧↖

Shift-Home. The Shift Right command is Shift-End.

Yes, the Marquee selection moves to the right or the left, but I cannot figure out what is used to determine how far to shift.

Mystery challenge of the day.

Select parts of regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

Press Shift–Home (the default Select First, or Shift Marquee Selection Left key command).

Open/Close MIDI Insert 2 Plug-in Window of focused Track — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Open/Close MIDI Insert 2 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Opens or closes the insert (a noun) plug-in window (toggle?) for the insert in slot 2. Currently there are only 8 inserts available for MIDI inserts, but there are 15 Open/Close commands.

I would only assign these commands to keystrokes if I was building a very task-specific workflow. I guess if I kept plug-in windows on a separate screen, and had the mouse/pointer usually on that screen, then dealing with the opening or closing of the window might make sense.

Select Members of Selected Groups — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Select Members of Selected Groups

This is a command that is found in the gear menu of the Groups inspector. Select one or more goops in the list of groups. Using the ‘Select Members of Selected Groups’ command will select all the channels that are contained in the group(s).

Overview of groups in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.
