Find Original of Alias — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Find Original of Alias

Locate the original region that this aliased region points to. Note that an aliased region has visual indicators (just like aliases of files) that help you identify them.

Create MIDI aliases in Logic Pro — Apple Support

If you forget where the original or source region is for a certain alias, you can search for it. In Logic Pro, do one of the following:

  • Select the alias, then choose MIDI > Alias > Select Original (or use the Find Original of Alias key command).
  • Choose Functions > Region Alias > Select Aliases of Region.

Create MIDI aliases in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Aliases can be useful when you want to repeat a phrase or riff in different parts of an arrangement. If you make changes to the original region after creating aliases from it, the changes apply to all its aliases throughout the project. If you want to edit one of the aliases without changing the others, you can turn that alias into an independent region (a region copy) and edit it independently.

Drum Replacement/Doubling ⌃D — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Drum Replacement/Doubling ⌃D

This is useful for drums, and any other things you might want to MIDI-fy.

I have used it to successfully double bass parts

Replace or double drum sounds in Logic Pro — Apple Support

Using drum replacement, you can replace individual drum sounds on an audio track without re-recording the entire track. To replace or double the drum sounds, you use an audio track that contains a recording of a single drum (or other percussion instrument) to create a software instrument track with matching MIDI trigger notes. The software instrument track plays drum samples using the Sampler instrument.

Delete MIDI Events Outside Region Boundaries — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Delete MIDI Events Outside Region Boundaries

Deletes events that are not in the current region. This is confusing to me. If I insert notes outside of a MIDI region the region gets extended to include the new notes. They are not “outside”. If I shrink the region (move back so new notes are not visible) the notes are not in the region. If I extend the region the notes come back.

If I delete events outside of the region boundaries while the region is “shrunk” then the events are deleted.

I am not visualizing a workflow where this would happen.

Delete notes in the Piano Roll Editor in Logic Pro — Apple Support

In Logic Pro, choose Edit > Delete MIDI Events > Outside Region Borders from the Piano Roll Editor menu bar.

Toggle Track On of all Tracks of Folder  — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Toggle Track On of all Tracks of Folder

Change the on/off status of all tracks in the Main Window Tracks. This will turn on all tracks, or turn off all tracks. If tracks are a mix of on and off it doesn’t matter. All tracks will be on or off.

If the Track On/Off switch is not displayed in the Track Header this command will cause it to be displayed (and remain displayed).

Turn off tracks in Logic Pro — Apple Support

When no other track is assigned to the same channel strip, turning off a track also saves processing power, because plug-ins on the channel strip are no longer processed. Turning a track off (or turning it back on) takes slightly longer than muting or unmuting the track, due to internal pre-processing. Unlike muting a track, turning off a track can not be automated.

We need to pay attention the the status of plug-ins, automation, and other settings.

Seems so much more predictable to mute the tracks instead of turning them off.
