We repeat tasks to the point we wear out specific keys. It is imperative for efficiency to have shortcuts in your toolbox. While every other DAW feels mechanical in the way it zooms, Logic feels effortless. The magnifying tool feels like a rubber band instead of a grid. Instead, hold Control — Option , and then Click and Drag around the area you want to zoom in on. And if you need to zoom out, just hold Control — Option , and click without dragging over an area.

So we have the Cycle strip that lets us play one part over and over without stopping! Easy peasy! Then hit Command — U , and voila!

Your Cycle strip sets itself to the length of that region. This is the next step up in Cycling. Instead of using audio or midi regions to set the Cycle, you can use Markers.

Markers are handy navigational strips in the Global Tracks section. You can create Markers to note which part is which. At its most basic, Track Stacks are busses for groups of instruments. By clicking the little disclosure triangle on the main bus, you can open and close the Stack. This makes it very helpful for organizing your sessions. Bouncing means to create a new audio file from a current one.

Bouncing tracks can relieve your Mac of processing power and prevent System Overloads. Just in case your Mac decides to get fickle the next time you start it up.

Just make sure to highlight the right Audio Region when you do. Logic projects can balloon in size damn quick. Over time, some of your tracks will stay muted or get powered down.

Hiding is a fantastic way of cleaning up your session. As the name implies, Logic removes the hidden tracks from view. Simply select a track and hit Control — H to hide it. But if you ever need to return to that track, hit H to reveal all the hidden tracks. It turns out that Logic is always listening. No biggie, just keep going. The more organized your session, the easier it is to get down to music making. Sure, you could go into the Toolbar at the top. Instead, I highlight the regions I want to change and then open the color palette with Option — C.

Select the color you prefer, and use Option — C again to close the palette. But now you can close them all out with one click! Look — Logic has a ton of Key Commands. With Option — K , you can easily open the Key Command menu and scout for any command you need.

By focusing on a logical system of letters and symbols that match your intent, you get a ton out of it. There are many commands to choose from, and here are my top It cuts out the middle man — straight to the point. My toddler pressed some buttons on my husbands logic pro x screen and now his music will not play through his headphones.

The music will play through the computer speakers but not through his headphones. Is there a command key that my toddler could have pressed that would cause the music not no longer play in the headphones???

Hi Mandy, sorry to hear about your troubles! Try plugging in the headphones and pressing the Mute, Volume Down, and Volume Up keys in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard or on Touch Strip if you own a newer Macbook. As a veteran Logic user started at v 3 or 4 i think , there were a few nice Logic X surprises in this list that somehow escaped me so far.

Hi great tips thank you! Close to the bottom of the menu are 2 options you can enable. Limit Dragging to One Direction in either:. Instead, Shift will disengage the locking. Hi thanks for the reply!

I tried both of these and neither seemed to work. Am I missing something? Help please, Thanx. Do you know of a shortcut undo that will undo a tweak to an instrument setting? This drove me crazy for a while until I figured out the solution.

Hit Command-2 to open your Mixer window. And voila, command-z will now undo mixer changes as well as the normal editing changes. Have fun! Great article. I was almost done with the project and was doing some work with EQ. The EQ window was open on top of my project, and I wanted to close it, but instead by mistake I closed the main project file.

What should I do? Hi Lk Gupta, thanks for the kind words! You can also use the key command Command I hope that helps! This one caught me a few times, took a lot of effort to figure out. Maybe you could do a video on all the strange predicaments a key or mouse stumble could cause? Very, very cool — great info — thank you so much.
