Trim Region End to Next Transient ⌃] - control-rightSquareBracket

Exists in ‘local’ menus and contextual menus.

I understand “Trim Region Start to Next Transient ⇧⌃]”, but trim end to next transient?

I really need to be using the “Audio Track Editor” to edit zoomed regions without zooming the tracks in the arrange window. So many fewer changes of reality.

The complete chapter is here…

Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX @StudioIntern1

Delete Lane Set

No default key command.

In the Step Editor you can create multiple lane sets. Fascinating reading. A different way to edit MIDI data, useful for creating patterns.

Way more powerful than the “Magic Drumstick” and the “Pulse Window” that I remember from Opcode Vision.

Arranging Sampled Strings — KeyboardMag:

“Use separate patches for each instrument, as this fights playing strings like an organ and forces you to think of all of the parts separately, as an arranger working with real string players would.”

I’m so glad I went to Feedly to find MusicTech feed today. In the list of similar was Keyboard Magazine. It’s not just about playing keyboards and pianos, it’s about using keyboards.

I’m always on the lookout for arranging tips for “virtual” ensembles, including how to size and “sound” the groups of instruments.

Handy hints. Examples in score!!!!

I got this wonderful present from my sweetie — a command keyboard skin

My education will continue. I have a goal to understand why the keys are grouped by color-coding. I understand the red one for the big “R” of record. What wonders do the others hold.

Part of the reason that I want to become very familiar with keyboard commands is to be able to re-map my extended keyboard without screwing myself up.

I like markers. I use them. Typically I use buttons on my X-Touch to move between them, or the nifty “Go to next marker and set locators (⌥. — option-period)

Markers by numbers? Just don’t use it. Why waste 20 keyboard commands on marker movement (keypad 1-9 and ⌃0-⌃9). I also don’t do a lot of step-editing of notes with velocity changes, so there’s lots of things I can do.

Logic Pro | A New Abecedarian, A is for Alternatives: #LogicProX @LogicProExpert

An objective look at some of the pros and cons of project alternatives are in order at this point:

I was very happy to see the first A-Z of Logic Pro. Still have PDF copies of the entries.

A new series has started.

BTW — I use alternatives heavily. Have been for years.
