I admit it, I have a prejudice. When I see videos or watch guys in person using Logic Pro, no matter how good they are, and they are mousing around all over the monitor to accomplish tasks, I think “Amateur Hour.” Any task performed with a mouse move rather than a keystroke to me is a waste of effort and an invitation to carpel tunnel syndrome. This article is not about the ones that the developers consider so vital that they have assigned a single digit key command, so I will dispense with those right away by listing them. All of these open areas of the Main Window rather than the standalone versions of the editors: • Pressing “ P” toggles the Piano Roll editor. • Pressing “ N” toggles the Score editor.
• Pressing “ O” toggles the Loop Browser. • Pressing “ F” toggles the Browser. • Pressing “ Y” toggles the Library.
• Pressing “ I” toggles the Inspector. • Pressing “ X” toggles the Mixer. • Pressing “ B” toggles the Smart Controls. So now, let’s get busy! #1 Opening the Key Commands Window Logic Pro X gives you a lot of created key commands for certain tasks but has not assigned others.
Also, you may wish to change some of the assignments. Simply pressing Option-K opens the key commands window. #2 Locking the Screenset Logic Pro X gives you a lot of ways to zoom in, zoom out, show/hide things in the Track List header and Mixer, open plug-ins either one at a time or multiple, etc. Sooner or later you will want to get back to a default view and will find it difficult if you have not locked the screenset. In Pic 1, you can see that with the default key commands, there is not one assigned to locking/unlocking a screenset as there was in previous versions of Logic Pro. Pic 5 If I want to go to e.g.
4 3 1 1 I simply type 4, hit the spacebar, then 3, and hit the Spacebar, etc., click OK and the Playhead moves to that position, Next time I open the Go To Position window it will remember the last position entered. #4 Move Region/Event to Playhead Position This used to be called Pickup Clock in previous versions of Logic Pro and it is assigned to the semi-colon. In Pic 6 I have a bunch of regions that I want to move to measure 1 but preserve the timeline relationship. Pic 7 Simply press Control-N and those setting are preserved but all the numbers of those parameters return to the default values. #7 Apply Quantization Destructively This task allows me to take regions on the same track that have different quantization settings and merge them without losing those settings. This is also very important for exporting a standard MIDI file to be used in another This time I press Control-Q to accomplish this. #8 Split Regions/Events at Playhead Position Select the regions or events in an editor and press Command-T.
#9 Cut Selection Between Locators and Insert Silence at Locators Want to tighten up your arrangement. Draw in a Cycle to create locators, select the regions and press Control-Command-X. Core keygen mac. Want to create an 8-bar intro? Draw in a Cycle from bars 1-9, select the regions, and press Control-Command-Z. #10 Repeat Regions/Events and Repeat Regions/Events Multiple Times The developers threw me a little curve when they changed this behavior in Logic Pro X. Pressing Command-R with regions selected used to bring up the dialog box you see in Pic 8. Now pressing that key command repeats them one time and as you can see in Pic 9, there is no default key command for that dialog box to repeat multiple times.
Pic 9 Well, I can easily fix that by assigning the old behavior to Shift-Command-R, right? Nope, already taken. OK, Control-Command-R? Nope, already taken and that was true for every variant I tried. Delete the Command-R key command for Repeat Regions/Events and then assign that tandem to Repeat Regions/Events Multiple Times.
When I only want 1 repeat, I type in “1.” Sometimes change is not necessarily progress ☺ BONUS KEY COMMANDS: Go To Next Marker and Go To Previous Marker OK, I lied, there are 12. In Pic 10, noticed I have created some markers, which is a great way to navigate through your project. There are no default key commands for these but I use them so often I have assigned them to my F5 and F6 keys respectively. Get ready to burn using Logic Pro X!
