Nudge Region/Event Length Left by Beat

I don’t often find myself using beats and bars, but I am trying to do it more often with “songs” that I mix.

Make a region “shorter at the end” by a maximum of one beat.

Nudging right makes the region longer by a maximum of one beat.

I would probably be more inclined to set the “nudge value” to “Beat” and use the shift-option-arrow (right/left)

  ⇧⌥→ and ⇧⌥←

⇧ SHIFT – ⌃ CONTROL – ⌥ OPTION – ⌘ COMMAND ← → ↑ ↓

MIDI Environment — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

  MIDI Environment

Today’s command is actually an entire section. All of the commands in the MIDI Environment are listed here.

A tremendous amount of work can be accomplished here, in fact, it is the place where we can place plugins on the input channel for recording effects to the audio track.

This is another part of Logic Pro X that I have barely scratched the surface of. A chapter to read, maybe find some tutorials. If I wanted to “abuse my tools” this is where I would probably start.

“Environment overview
The Environment refers to the virtual environment of Logic Pro inside your computer. It provides a virtual view of your MIDI studio, giving you complete control over your MIDI setup, and includes the following objects.”

Toggle writing Plug-in parameters Automation in Write Mode — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Toggle writing Plug-in parameters Automation in Write Mode

Today I have learned that I know virtually nothing about using automation in Logic. Biggest thing I learned today is that

⌘⌃E command-control-E

opens the event list for the track. You can see the automation events in this list.

I will have to spend time reading the chapter on automation, and trying to figure out when/where I might actually use it,

It’s a vast subject. Kind of overwhelming.

“Automate mix and effects settings

Automation overview
Automation refers to recording, editing, and playing back the movements of faders, knobs, and switches. Using automation, you can create changes over time to volume, pan, and other settings. You can add automation to all track types.”

Trim Region End to Next Transient (⌃]) — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Trim Region End to Next Transient ⌃] - control-rightSquareBracket

Exists in ‘local’ menus and contextual menus.

I understand “Trim Region Start to Next Transient ⇧⌃]”, but trim end to next transient?

I really need to be using the “Audio Track Editor” to edit zoomed regions without zooming the tracks in the arrange window. So many fewer changes of reality.

The complete chapter is here…

Delete Lane Set — Logic Pro X keyboard command of the day

Delete Lane Set

No default key command.

In the Step Editor you can create multiple lane sets. Fascinating reading. A different way to edit MIDI data, useful for creating patterns.

Way more powerful than the “Magic Drumstick” and the “Pulse Window” that I remember from Opcode Vision.
