    1. Control - Option (Open Zoom Tool in Main Window)
    2. Control - T (Create Tracks for Selected Channel Strips)
    3. Option - Click Solo Buttons (for Quick Soloing)
    4. Command - U (Set Locators by Regions, Events, Marquee, and Enable Cycle)
    5. Command - T (Split Regions/Events at Playhead Position)
    Loved it! Especially #1...

    As someone who has learned an inestimable amount from Chris and now hear my mixes beginning to “ get there” can I presume to advise followers of this fantastic resource to watch ALL Chris’s videos. Each of them , in my experience, builds significantly on each other. We all want to start using EQ and compressors, but if you follow the advised project settings, work flow advise and the basic mix set ups and settings + less immediately appealing advise like gain staging, the lowly fader, mixing in mono you will progress so much more consistently and automatically. This has been my experience and I’m sure it will work for you.

    If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, the wheel also works with command-option, option, or shift-option for the three different zoom types.

    Thank you. You answered basically all my newbie questions. I´ve seen sooo many videos of producers and how they so fast, without moving the mouse everywhere, zoom in and out etc, but first now I realize how they do it! YaY!!! :-)

    Just bought Logic, after using GarageBand for years. This video solved the moving of bus track issue I had last night. The other commands I will probably use all of the time, too. GREAT job on this, it really helped me! Subscribed!

    Great tips! Key commands are super underrated. Another thing I can recommend is finding the most used functions and also changing the keys to whatever is the most comfortable. You don't need to map them based on Initial. Just use whatever gives you the fastest workflow and easiest way to remember!

    • @kaspartambur
      @kaspartambur 4 года назад

      The only real work then is to make tough decisions like M = mute, mixer, (something else cool with m) . I quess the best solution would be to start using cmd, opt, cmd+opt, shift aso

    Btw... Once you create an Aux track, clicking the power-on Automation button will move the Aux track next to the instrument track from which you are sending a signal. This too puts a lane for the Aux track in the main window. Very nice for setting up parallel compression.

    Love your channel!
    I've been using Logic pretty much every day since 1999 and always utilised Key Commands.
    However, because Logic used to be totally configurable (before Apple bought it from Emagic) most power users set it up with their own totally different screensets and key commands.
    Sometimes I wouldn't even recognise another user's take on it as it looked so different to any other I'd previously seen 🤣
    Anyways... Long story short - thanks for giving me renewed inspiration in the old beast and fresh ideas for improving my work flow. 🙏
    PS I don't understand why more people don't use the 'Rubber Band' magnification. I've even shown it to numerous users who have countered with 'I prefer to use the magnifying glass' 😳

    Adjusting region ends is hard as you zoom in because the Smart snap is zoom dependant, try zooming out and you’ll find it easier to snap to a bar.

    Key commands are excellent - and have remained the same across many iterations of Logic - thanks for the video. And now a request: is there a key command that reduces the size of each instrument window, they are so unnecessarily large!

  • @gnogtr
    @gnogtr 4 года назад

    You can also just hold down option and use the scroll on the mouse to zoom as well. That's how I do it.

    Hello, being new to Logic and learning, I went back to see what else Why Logic Pro Rules offers and I see your instruments area and is that from creating templates and do you have a video on that? Maybe I'm way ahead of myself and trying to learn more and more and it's getting hard to remember everything. I think I need a second screen to be able to practice what you are showing us here. Thanks anyway for your time.

    hey guys! Align regions!
    Is there a faster way to do this then move playhead to start of region 1 and then move region 2 to playhead? In Pro Tools, a simple Control+click in region 2 would align it to region 1 automatically... :/
    Thanks!

    Great as always Chris! definitely trying to up my key command game. Quick question for you - do you know the key command to set the alternative pointer tool? We all know you have have to pointers, and the cursor will flip over when you hold command. I know how to bring up the pointer menu (option t) and and provides letters to quickly switch the main pointer, but how do you switch the alternative pointer?

    • @chaosme1ster

      @sethcronin 4 года назад

      @@chaosme1ster sure but that kind of defeats the purpose of a key command? it's supposed to remove the need and time wasted from moving your mouse around. I can't figure out for the life of me why I can't just hold command and type the letter to switch the alt cursor.

    • @chaosme1ster

      @@sethcronin I wasn't sure I understood your question right - hence the question mark. But now I *do* understand what you asked, and no, I wouldn't know the answer either. AFAIK what you want can't be done.

      @sethcronin 4 года назад

      @@chaosme1ster No worries! I appreciate the help. It just comes from my personal work flow where I usually want to keep the main cursor just the pointing tool, but constantly switch the alt point to marquee/fade tool.

    • @chaosme1ster
      @chaosme1ster 4 года назад

      @@sethcronin Sounds familiar. I too hate it when the main cursor is *not* the pointer, and I too switch the alt-cursor all the time. Maybe we should simply abandon the alt-tool and get used to switching the main tool instead. But then... I'm an old man and set in my ways :-)).

    Most of these dont do anything on my logic, why is it so? are the
    commands different? I have 10.5, and most of the commands i see in these
    videos are different or just not there, i really want them to be the
    same, is there any command preset i can download somewhere?
