•Increase Last Clicked Parameter by 10 ⇧= — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  •Increase Last Clicked Parameter by 10 ⇧=

Add 10 to the most recently clicked parameter. Useful in places like region gain, fade values, and others.

I would find it more useful if it worked in any field where numeric input is possible, but the wide range of numbers (MIDI velocity, fader levels, pure numbers) possible makes it unlikely that proper context can be found for every user.

Very useful when working in the Event List.

As useful as it may be, the functions are not defined in the Logic Pro documentation starting with version 10. The missing “Basic Operations” chapter is remarkably useful.

Logic Pro 9 User Manual: Working with Key Commands

The Plus and Minus keys are assigned to the Increase/Decrease Last Parameter by 1 key commands. As the name suggests, this will increase or decrease any selected parameter value in single units.

Using Shift in conjunction with the Plus and Minus keys accesses the Increase/Decrease Last Parameter by 10 key commands.

Capturing MIDI Controller Automation After Recording MIDI In Logic Pro | Logic Pro

Once you’ve captured your primary performance, it’s not uncommon to want to add some MIDI continuous controller message to enhance the part. Maybe it’s via an expression pedal to add some CC 11 data for more refined dynamic movement. Perhaps you want to use some knobs or sliders on your keyboard controller to create some movement of one or more of the soft synth parameters you are triggering.

The esoterica of MIDI recording in the 21st Century.

How To Choose The Right EQ — Equalisers Demystified | Production Expert

We’ve highlighted a number of top-notch commercial third-party offerings (and one must-have freebie) here, but the EQs built into most DAWs these days are at least pretty good, if not quite excellent, albeit largely limited to parametrics and multimode filters. As long as you don’t expect much in the way of character, Pultec-style trickery or mastering-grade viability, your stock DAW EQ will more than suffice for bread-and-butter frequency-shaping, so don’t feel like its an inferior option – as ever, if it sounds good, is it good. Indeed, onboard EQ plugins can actually bring their own benefits in the shape of low CPU usage and handy response curve thumbnails embedded in mixer channels.

I have the IK and iZotope tools. Add those to the Logic built-ins (they do have ‘vintage’ character EQs with drive now) and I just don’t need anymore. I do so love the FabFilter interface though…

Delete Take or Comp ⌥⇧⌫ — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Delete Take or Comp    ⌥⇧⌫

Deletes the most current take or ‘comp’. I don’t do any? studio recording with multiple takes in a row (other than whole songs or phrases) and am not at all fluent in ‘comping’ tracks.

My early learning was strictly live performance of music. I listened to a lot of radio. If I went to a show featuring a band I had heard I was almost invariably disappointed that the band sounded not at all good compared to their records. I had no idea that they could/would stitch together pieces of the music to make the record. Silly me.

Delete takes and comps — Apple Support

You can delete takes and comps from take folders at any time. When deleted, they no longer appear in the take folder’s list of takes and comps. Any comp selections using deleted takes are also removed.
