  Bounce Tracks in Place    ⌃⌘B

Render all tracks to audio files. I like to do this when I finish a mix. I keep the effects plug-ins enabled, but typically leave Volume and Pan automation off…I use the Bounce and Replace version of the command.

If I have summing stacks in place an effective “stem” is created for the members of the stack.

Bounce all tracks in place in a Logic Pro project — Apple Support

You can perform an in-place bounce-and-replace for all audio, software instrument, and Drummer tracks in the Tracks area.

  Move File(s) out of project

Move files from the project media folders to a different location.

I wondered why this was important, but then remembered that in a project package you can’t manipulate the files in the Finder (easily anyway).

Easy way to move bounces out of the project.

NB the project still knows about the file, and if you share the project with someone it might not have all of the resources necessary to be worked with.

Move audio files used for audio regions in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You can move audio files used for audio regions to a new location. This is useful if the audio files are saved in the project, or are referenced outside the project in multiple locations.

  Text Tool    ⇧T

Choose the Text Tool. The cursor becomes the I-beam whenever it is located in a place that can accept text. I only find it useful in the Score Editor. In the main window only useful if you have markers that you want to rename, which can be done with a double-click on the marker. I typically don’t rename my regions a lot.

Use the Text tool to rename regions and other items, or add text to a score in the Score Editor.

We Tempo Map In Pro Tools, Logic Pro And Studio One — See How They Do It | Production Expert

For the first challenge we wanted to see how Pro Tools, Logic Pro and Studio One handled tempo mapping an acoustic guitar not recorded to a click track. This scenario is something than can happen in the real world, especially if you are a songwriter or have an artist in the studio who hates working to click tracks.

I knew that I had it easy in Logic. Studio One isn’t too bad. Pro Tools? sheesh. Simply comparing the explanation times is valuable. Pro Tools? 10 minutes. Studio One? 3 minutes. Logic? 2 minutes.

  Show/Hide Library  Y

Show or Hide the Library panel at the left side of the main window. I *really* need to remember to use this. It is far more convenient than using the Setting menu at the top of channel strips.

Logic Pro Library interface — Apple Support

You can view available patches for the currently selected track, and choose a new patch, in the Library. Categories appear on the left, and patches for the selected category are displayed on the right. You can search for patches, create, save, and delete patches, and choose routing options.

Logic Pro patches overview — Apple Support

A patch contains the instrument, effects, Smart Controls, and routing settings that control the sound of a track. When you choose a patch, those settings are applied to the currently selected track. You can try a different sound for the track by choosing a different patch, as long as the patch is compatible with the track type.

Track Stacks and the Logic Pro Library — Apple Support

The patches available in the Library vary depending on the Track Stack type, and which track in the Track Stack is selected:
