Overview of groups in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Prior to mixing, you may find it useful to define some logical channel strip groups. You could, for example, group all drum channel strips under one drum group. This would allow you to control the group meters (volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and so on) using a single control, while still maintaining the relative parameter values of each channel strip.

Go to Marker Number 15 ⌃5 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Go to Marker Number 15 ⌃5

Move the playhead to the start of marker 15. The ‘Go to Marker n’ commands are mapped to the keypad on an extended keyboard.

I am sure that I can find a better use for the numeric keypad keys 😉

Toggle Count-in ⇧K — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

“K” is for Klopfgeist | Logic Pro

Klopfgeist is the software instrument that powers Logic’s Metronome function. For many of us, there’s not much more to think about with the Klopfgeist other than enabling the Metronome and hitting “record.” But there’s plenty to dig into with our trusty and unwavering click. Whether it be for utility or creativity.

The best translation of Klopfgeist I have seen is “rapping spirit”.

Select All Aliases of Region ⌥⇧A — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Select All Aliases of Region   ⌥⇧A

Selects all aliases of the currently selected region.

Create MIDI aliases in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

You can create an alias for a MIDI region or a folder. An alias is a reference to a region, and looks similar to a normal region in the Tracks area. If you alter the original region, all aliases of the region are similarly altered.

Select regions in the Logic Pro Tracks area — Apple Support

To perform some edits on regions, you must first select the regions. You can select one or multiple regions, select regions on different tracks, and quickly select muted regions, overlapped regions, or regions meeting other criteria. Selected regions appear brighter in the Tracks area than unselected regions.

NB When making aliases it is important to make sure that Preferences/General/Editing:’Select regions on track selection’ is not checked. That way you can select a region, select a track, move the playhead, and create the alias in that spot. It is probably a good idea to create a keyboard shortcut for the command ‘Toggle Select Regions on Track Selection’.
