Remove Bypassed Plug-ins

Removes bypassed plug-ins from the insert slots on the selected channel(s). It’s good to clean up channel strips every once in a while.

In Logic Pro, click the Setting button at the top of the channel strip, then choose Remove Bypassed Plug-ins from the pop-up menu.

  Toggle Software Monitoring

Changes the state of software monitoring. As stated in the documentation you should use direct monitoring from your interface when you don’t need to hear the sound with any of the inserts. Monitoring through plug-ins can cause uncomfortable latency.

Before recording audio in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Enable software monitoring, which allows you to monitor incoming audio through any effects that are inserted into a record enabled audio track, if desired. Many audio interfaces offer a direct or hardware monitoring option which sends the audio signal being recorded to a monitor output before the signal is sent to Logic Pro. If your interface offers direct recording you should use it, and only use software monitoring if you’re using effects on an record enabled channel strip.

Note: When Software Monitoring is on, the audio signal is processed via software, and a certain amount of audible delay (commonly referred to as latency) is inevitable.

  Open/Close Audio Insert 12 Plug-in Window of focused Track

That sure is a lot of plug-ins on a channel. This set of commands (inserts 1-15) are assigned to the position of the insert. If an insert slot is empty then the command flashes the screen and does nothing.

I can see the utility of having insert slots populated in a standard order like a mixer.

Work in the plug-in window in Logic Pro — Apple Support

You edit plug-in parameters in the plug-in window, which opens automatically when you insert a plug-in.

  Select Project 8

Bring the main window for project 8 into focus. Having multiple projects open at the same time results in buggy behavior. It is difficult to know which project is actually project 8.

There is no documentation for selecting multiple projects in the Logic Pro (and Pro X) documentation.

  Forward by Nudge Value

Move the playhead forward by the current setting of the nudge value.
