  Reset All Preferences Except Key Commands…

This is good to know. Deleting preference files is a drag. You never know what little thing might be lurking there.

I wish there was a “Save All Preferences” command as well.

This should be included in the standard debugging litany, just before the “re-install” which *won’t* reset preferences.

It is difficult to enter a ‘keyboard press’ using the ‘⇧⌃⌥⌘’ modifier. I have used Karabiner (macOS software) to use caps lock — ‘⇪’ to press ‘⇧⌃⌥⌘’ instead. Let’s call it ‘scoc’ for short.

I have even created a text shortcut — ‘&scoc’ to enter ⇧⌃⌥⌘ for me.

I’ll get good at this yet.

Sends on Faders — Previous Send — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Sends on Faders - Previous Send

New in Logic Pro X version 10.4 (or very close to it). I was first exposed to ‘Sends on Faders’ using my Behringer XR18 mixer. I had no clue about what it was, and it took a few tries to get it right in my brain. Totally useful.

When ‘Sends on Faders’ is enabled the faders on the mixer are used to adjust the level of the currently selected send, as opposed to adjusting the level of the track. This makes creating cue mixes almost child’s play.

I use this to move elements of a mix closer or further away using reverb. The higher the fader is the further away it should be in the sound stage.

Previous and Next Send are circular. When the last send is selected Next circles around to the first, and vice versa.

In the mixer, use channel faders to control send level, and use channel pan controls to pan sends.

  Quit    ⌘Q

The ‘Oblique Strategies’ card of Logic commands. Sometimes the best thing you can do is quit and take a break.

Think about it.
