Toggle Hide Group 18 — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Hide Group 18

Change the visibility of tracks/channels in group 18.

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.

Open/Close Audio Insert 10 Plug-in Window of focused Track — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Open/Close Audio Insert 10 Plug-in Window of focused Track

Opens or closes the tenth audio insert on the focused track. Unlikely that I would have ten inserts. The key point here is “focused track”. There is no way to toggle the state on all of the selected channels/tracks.

Select tracks in Logic Pro — Apple Support

When multiple tracks are selected, the track number of the focused track also appears selected (lighter gray color) on the left edge of the track header, unlike the other selected tracks.

Set Flex Pitch Vibrato Tool — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Set Flex Pitch Vibrato Tool

Set the Flex Pitch tool to Vibrato. Editing of sound recordings is completely out of my experience. I read about it. I hear about it. I have only briefly touched on the topic and how it is accomplished.

I almost exclusively use Flex Pitch to analyze audio in order to create a MIDI region for doubling or replacement. I am beginning to find places where a subtle change to a note can improve a work quite nicely. Hard to do with a stereo recording, but possible. Far easier to do with multi-track recordings.

Bring on the pitchy bass and tenor!

Edit pitch using Flex Pitch in Logic Pro — Apple Support

When working in the Audio Track Editor, the Vibrato tool allows you to edit the vibrato of a note without having to drag the hotspot.

Delete — Step Input ⌃⌫ — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Delete - Step Input    ⌃⌫

There is no delete button available on the Step Input Keyboard. When the keyboard is open, actually has focus, there are no focused areas, so the normal delete key should be available.

In any event (see what I did there) control-delete is used to delete the events that are being edited.

Use step input recording in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Step input allows you to insert MIDI notes when you’re not recording in real time. You can use step input to create note runs that may be too fast for you to play or to replicate sheet music that’s too difficult for you to play.

I find it interesting that the documentation doesn’t tell you how to remove the things that you have inserted. That leaves us to think that we have to switch to an eraser tool, or some other method.
