  Select Previous Section for Realtime Comping       ⌃⌥⇧7⃣

It reads like a marker is placed in the timeline. Recording, especially multiple takes, is not one of the primary uses I have for Logic.

Mark takes while recording — Logic Pro X

This command places a tag in the current take, at the position the keyboard shortcut was used. All audio that precedes the use of the keyboard shortcut is tagged as a good take, and is used in the final comp.

Create and save comps — Logic Pro X

You can use quick swipe comping techniques to select the best parts from several takes, combining these parts into one master comp. After creating a comp, it’s a good idea to save it so that you can easily return to it at a later point. Any subsequent changes automatically create a new comp.

  Toggle Current Track Automation Trim Mode

Heavy use of automation required. I have to remember that the DAW is where things are produced and polished. Coming from the ‘live’ side of things I am usually oblivious to the tools available for making changes to a ‘recording’ after the fact.

I really do need to pay attention to automation.

Choose automation modes — Logic Pro X

Trim: Offsets the value of the existing automation (Volume, Pan, Send levels) by adjusting it up or down by the amount you move the fader or control. Works in combination with Touch and Latch automation modes.

  Show/Hide Graphic Keyboard…

It is interesting to note that the Graphic Keyboard doesn’t have a default key command assigned to it. You can easily get to it by opening the ‘Musical Typing Keyboard’ (⌘K) and clicking on the piano keys button. Maybe it’s a subtle way to get you to use Musical Typing which is pretty handy for quick playing, etc.

Play software instruments — Logic Pro X

You can play your chosen software instrument using musical typing or the onscreen keyboard. You can also use a music keyboard.

If your computer has a Touch Bar, you can play the software instrument on the selected software instrument track using the Keyboard screen and play drum kits and percussion instruments on the selected Drummer track using the Drum Pads screen.

  Project Information…

I may have stumbled on this at one point. The displayed information isn’t really meaningful as far as memory goes — there are numbers but no units. Bytes? Kilobytes? Megabytes?

I will keep it in mind.

View project information and reorganize memory — Logic Pro X

In the Project Information window, you can view the number of regions and other objects in a project, the number of different MIDI events, and the amount of memory they use.
