Main Window Tracks and Various Editors — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Main Window Tracks and Various Editors

I have been skipping the command grouping entries in the command list. There is some utility in knowing what they are. The command headings appear in pop-up menus in places like the Key Commands window, and in the “learn” windows.

I have tried to indicate groupings with keywords, but missed on the first hundred or so posts. This entry gets ‘Main Window Tracks’ and ‘Various Editors’.

Eventually a keyword search will help create a better index into the commands and documentation.

  Apply Transform User Preset 10 to selected Events

It is likely that I will be learning how to create transform sets for mapping drum kits (I have Logic, EZDrummer, MODO Drums, and SampleTank).

Depending on your needs, it may be worthwhile to create your own transform sets. These can be configured and saved as part of a project. (Doing this in your template projects makes your transform sets available in all projects.) Your transform sets are shown at the bottom of the Presets pop-up menu.

Import Audio File… ⇧⌘I — Logic Pro keyboard command of the day

  Import Audio File…    ⇧⌘I

Add a new file to the project. I should experiment with deleting unused sections from audio files. I have lots of tracks that are less than 30% “populated”.

Add and delete audio files in Logic Pro — Apple Support

When you add an audio file to your project, Logic Pro automatically creates a region that encompasses the entire file length. You can create as many regions as you like from the same audio file. There are no length limitations to regions, as long as they don’t exceed the length of the source audio file. Creating multiple regions from the same audio file is beneficial for many tasks—using different portions of a vocal take that spans the length of the project, for example.

You can delete audio regions and audio files in the Project Audio Browser. In addition to deleting unused audio files, you can also delete unused portions of audio files. This usually frees up a lot of space on the hard disk.
