The Marquee Tool — Logic Pro X

#LogicProX @logicproexpert @vandeviper

I keep trying to use the marquee tool to make things easier. I keep forgetting.

Watched this video — 6 Reasons to Use the Marquee Tool — made some notes.

My notes follow — better to read the article that accompanies the video.

Make selection of region or file

Marquee at bottom of region — Set Marquee tool for command-click

Use to remove chunks of empty space as opposed to Strip Silence — highlight, press DEL

Split Region — double click on region at proper location for split

Select region and press play!

Create new track, highlight region, option-drag to new track

Click on automation line gives 4 nodes for simple drag

Selection-based processing — use marquee as opposed to ‘Split Region’ (cmd-T) on either end of the section of the region

Save as Template… Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day. #LogicProX

I use this command a fair bit. I tweak my template when I learn new methods or choose a new primary tool. No need to map it to a keyboard command, but it’s good to know where it is in the File menu.

My template editing consists of creating a new project from the template, making changes, then doing a save as template using the original name (click on the template file name in the mini-Finder to get it filled in) and over-writing it.

Multiple busses. Multiple sends for monitor mixes.

For today’s work I reinforced my understanding of sends, faders, panning, and such for Logic.

Modified the multi-bus template to add HP1 and HP2 to bus labels for in-ear/monitor mixing.

I am reminded that Outputs (sends) are assigned to busses. Logic creates AUX channels (with strips) as destination for the busses. Keeping this distinction in mind helps understanding the audio path.

Vocal contrast: give the vocals a 1⁄4 note or an 1/8 note delay. When the chorus hits, change it to a 1⁄2 note delay and turn up the feedback a little bit. The vocal will have more depth in the chorus. Back off the high end with an EQ to create depth without the obvious echos.

These are handy tips. I like them. I keep them in a collection on the twitter…
