Logic Pro keybord short cuts

[TheSqueezer]

Hey there everybody.

As the title says im looking for some usefull Logic Pro keybord short cuts.
If anyone wants to share some i will be thankfull.
Sometimes i loose a lot of time using the mouse just to do something and these short cuts make life easier and faster.

Thanks :)

I'm not sure I can recall all the ones I use often - I have them so deeply embedded in memory I don't even think about what key I'm pressing half the time!

I'll have a bash anyway:

P - piano roll
X - mixer
B - audio bin
W - waveform display
E - Event List
Option + E - little event float window which is useful for positioning stuff and changing region parameters quickly
L - loop region
option + click to end a loop
option + drag audio or midi region to stretch

shift + P - select equal subpositions (works on notes when in piano roll - useful!)

I have also mapped cmd + B to bounce because I use it so much, but I guess now there's bounce in place there may not be as much use for it!

most important : CMD + S. use it religiously...

Like I said there are loads more that I use I just can't remember without actually having to perform the task!

look in the preferences under key commands, the search feature is really handy for finding useful ones...

CMD - S absolutely! it's got to the point where i do something and without thinking hit CMD-S lol

V - makes you plug in window/s dissapear - hit it again to bring it back on screen.

X - makes the mixer at the bottom of the screen pop up and down

APPLE key & '---->' enlarges your screen area
APPLE key & '<---' Shrinks your area
etc etc for up and down arrows

I have my numeric keypad set up for about 7 different screensets - eg.

1. overall view
2. mixer only
3. environment
4. all audio channels
5. all instrument and busses
6. piano roll

Like kristoph said, the key commands tab is great for finding something useful.

I tend not to make my own key commands anymore incase i work with someone and they have a different key set and then i press something and i end up looking like a wally :confused:

(i know BT is trying to get a universal logic mapping out there so everyones on the same page when people collaborate)

Good shout - V is so useful, I use it all the time, especially with things like GURU which I need on and off the screen really frequently
