I found a copy of the eMagic Logic Control manual.

Handy little chart of all the switches and LEDs on the device. I have modified it a bit…

On my Mac I can use the ‘send midi’ command to flash the CONTROL light like this

Nudge Region/Event Length Left by 10 ms — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Nudge Region/Event Length Left by 10 ms
 

I usually set the nudge value using the toolbar, then do left/right nudging. Almost always I am trying to align multiple mixes of a song I am mixing to get things set up for level matching and comparison.

  • Set the nudge value to 10ms — ⌃⌥0
  • Set the nudge value to 1ms — ⌃⌥1
  • Set the nudge value to Sample — ⌃⌥S
  • Nudge left — ⌥←
  • Nudge right — ⌥→

Those handy control and option keys.

Move regions in the Tracks area — Logic Pro X:

You can move regions to a different point in the same track, or move them to another track of the same type. You can move an audio region to another audio track, for example, but not to a software instrument track, or vice versa. You can also move regions between open Tracks area windows, or between different open projects.

Side note — nudging regions from X-Touch? The answer is yes.

  Go to Last Locate Position
 

Moving around a project efficiently is they key to mastering Logic Pro X. Positioning the playhead, getting the right workspace (screenset), focusing attention where you want it and when you want it.

Use transport key commands — Logic Pro X:

Go to Last Locate Position: Moves the playhead to the last position reached with a positioning command, or direct positioning of the playhead using the mouse or ruler.

Use transport shortcut menus — Logic Pro X:

Jump Between Marquee and Project Start: Moves the playhead back and forth between the marquee start position and the project start position, when Logic Pro is stopped. Applies only if there is an active marquee selection.

Really?

Go to Beginning of First Region — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  Go to Beginning of First Region
 

I wonder if this is project-wide or track specific? Let’s find out…First region of the project. Possibly different behavior if working in a folder stack. No, it moves the playhead to the beginning of the first region in the project.
