Now move the knob or slider on your controller you want to assign it to. The command is remembered globally so even when opening other projects, the link between parameter and physical MIDI controller stays.
It forms the shape of an A on the Mac's keyboard. This is one of my favorite Logic command. This is actually a toggle command. It toggles between reading automation that has already been recorded and recording automation. Ever tweak a knob on a synth or effect and wish you could just grab what you were doing right there and then? Use Control-Command-A and you literally never have to stop… while Logic is playing whatever synth, effect parameter, or mixing levels you adjust, get recorded on the spot as automation.
Toggle to return this parameter to the read value by pressing the command again. Control-Command-R is great for adding length to your songs. This is great for editing a specific loop. When working with looped regions, remember that if you edit the original, all the copies are edited too. What if you want to edit a single region from those loops? Using Control-L turns any selected looped regions into independent editable copies.
After using this command you can easily edit the notes in a specific MIDI region or chop an audio region without effecting the others. Keep in mind that copied audio regions are still linked back to the original audio file, so if you make a destructive edit like in the sample editor all the others will change too. That leads me to the final command… wait, that's 11 right? Yeah, I couldn't help it! Destructive edits to audio files are done in the Sample Editor.
Reversing, changing the pitch of a specific area, fading in and out, and more are a few reasons to destructively edit an audio file. When you do this, and you don't use Option-Command-F , the original file and all its loops are changed. If you do use this command on a region, a window will appear asking you to save it as a new copy.
Now you can go to town destructively editing this independent piece of audio without worry. More articles by this author.

For example, press X to show the mixer or P to bring up the piano roll. Used to select similar tracks and regions. For example, tracks of the same color.
They will appear in the upper part of your arrangement window , as shown in the picture, and can be quickly accessed via the following key commands :. You can also move your markers around. These key commands can be used to alter MIDI regions rapidly, on the piano roll and on the main window. Sometimes creating your own custom key commands or changing existing ones is better for your workflow.
The process is pretty simple. There, you will find a list of all the key commands available inside Logic Pro.
I am not suggesting these are necessarily the most useful for you. The point is, it is worthwhile exploring the plethora of unassigned key commands and figure out which you will benefit from integrating into your workflow. Look around the key command window, and I guarantee that some of the functions will inspire workflows you might not have thought of on your own. Although available as two separate individual functions, I find the combined iteration works best for me.
We all know what Record does, but Record Repeat is a useful variation. While recording, if you decide you don't like what you are playing and want to try again, the Record Repeat command will, in one step, discard your current recording and jump back to the original record position, all without stopping the transport.
One fringe benefit that suits my needs is that I occasionally use an unwired Apple keyboard at my drums when recording. I use Control Spacebar in this situation to start regular recording.
So, the same key command does double duty. From time to time, for various reasons, it becomes necessary to move the location of audio files used within your Logic Project. Moving them around manually in the Finder, outside of Logic, is generally a bad idea. Logic will have difficulty locating the files the next time the project is re-opened.
It is best to move the files within the Project Audio window inside fo Logic. This way, Logic will know where about the updated file location. It opens a Finder window, allowing you to choose a new location for the selected audio file.
I have this function assigned to Control Shift M. This one is a mouthful to say but handy when mixing. As we all know, the channel strip level indicator lights up when exceeding digital 0 dB. Clicking on the displayed value clears the field. When gain staging a mix, this can happen regularly.
A fringe benefit of this function is that it clears the field even when the values have not been clipped. So if you are monitoring your levels carefully, looking for peaks, frequent use of this function resets the field each time, allowing you to locate peaks in your track more easily.
I save myself a manual mouse click each time by assigning the function to the Zero key on my qwerty keyboard. The numeric keypad Zero key has been assigned to Stop since Logic 1. The shortcuts are not a secret, but there are hundreds of different keyboard shortcuts.
