5 Ways To Improve Your Logic Pro X Workflow (Part 4)

[@displayname8848]

One thing that has improved my workflow lately has been going to Preferences=>General=>Editing=Right Mouse Button=>Opens Tool Menu. It allows me to change tools while editing midi way faster than having to go up to the drop down menu and choose another tool.

[@stefanguy]

Hey man, that's a good tip! I might include it in the next video ;) thanks man!

[@displayname8848]

No problem, keep up the good work! 👍🏽

[@ajeshashok6]

[@slapaholicproductions5318]

Awesome video bro! Keep up the good work! Very helpful information!

[@stefanguy]

+Slapaholic Productions thanks bro!!

[@OfejEdafeadhe]

About changing the divisions, you can make it even easier by adding a keyboard short cut. I have the quotation mark mapped to going down a division and the forward slash mapped to going forward a division. great video though, didn't know about the patch merging

[@stefanguy]

+Ofej Edafeadhe hey bro that’s dope! Thanks man I didn’t know you could do that! Yeah would be so much quicker

[@trustmac]

Thanks man. Those ara very useful Tips.

[@stefanguy]

[@yuccajoe2133]

dooope tips man, I didn't know about the first 2, and I use the marquee tool all the time

[@stefanguy]

Thanks bro, glad I could show you something new! I didn't know about the Marquee tool trick for a long time myself, it was my bro that showed me!

[@macboogieland2897]

thanks for that automation tip!!

[@stefanguy]

You're welcome!

[@VinceProducer]

Was searching for the Force legato for like an eternity, thanks for that!

[@stefanguy]

+Vince Producer hahaha glad I was able to help, it’s so useful!

[@tyalexandercheng]

[@stefanguy]

Thanks man!

[@orlandomagic5]

Love these, when’s part 5?

[@stefanguy]

+Deemus J thanks bro! I’ll see if I can cook one up as soon as possible!

[@francissreckofabian01]

Always useful tips, Stefan. I know the Marquee tool is popular but I've never really learned what it can do.

[@stefanguy]

Hey Francis! Thanks man. Yeah the Marquee tool is a beast!

[@BLINDHAVOK]

Thanks for the vid man... I'm all for short cut keys and a quicker way of doing things in Logic. I like the forced legato (which I will be using from now on) :)

[@stefanguy]

+BLIND HAVOK hey man! Yep force legato is a gem! I use in every session lol

[@Jonerix123]

Nice video, but I knew every tipp :( Maybe I have more luck in a part 6. Love your videos! You do it just the right way dude!

[@stefanguy]

+Jonerix123 thanks man! Ah man it’s getting harder with each vid! Haha yeah hopefully next time! :D

[@kristianlundmusic]

also if you use the brush tool and change the quantize value you can just draw triplets in with a drag

[@micahdean5679]

what do you click when ur grabbing the midi note at around 3:20 ? ur like dragging but it’s copying also? great video btw

[@stefanguy]

:) thanks man! If you hold down the option key (alt) when clicking then you can make copies!

[@sanjacob]

hi stephan, thanks for your videos, you do a great job here. at the beginning of this video you click twice on the aut. button. at first click it expands a bit at the second it goes in kind of a big zoomed view size. where can i activate that function? i knew from working with previous logic versions that is possible, but can't find it in logic X anymore :) . would be glad if you could give me a hint. thanx

[@TheNathtube]

I love the uncluttered interface of logic although I don't use it much now

[@stefanguy]

+Nath Jones hey Nath what you using now bro? I don’t use Logic much either now. Been using Maschine 2!

[@TheNathtube]

Stefan Guy well I use the mpc renaissance a bit mainly the software to sample vinyl into it then sample to my akai mpc 3000 I just prefer the hardware really

[@stefanguy]

+Nath Jones ooooh I seee, dope!

[@beatsby40k]

forced legato 🙏🏼

[@reymunflores]

@ 2:40 how do you label the keys with what sample it has on the piano roll??

[@stefanguy]

+reymun hey bro, it’s because I’m using a drum machine designer kit. It’s automatic when using one of those kits.

[@codyinacoma]

Does anyone have any experience with using a Digidesign/Avid Digi 003 Rack Interface with Logic Pro X? I have the chance to pick one up but I want to make sure it will work seamlessly with Logic Pro and Studio One. Those are th only programs I use. I have ableton but I have never used it for anything. Studio One and Logic are plenty enough for me.

[@johnnysimsyo]

Thought you were showing us the hand you use

[@stefanguy]

+johnnysimsyo this comment alone makes me want to change the thumbnail 😂😂😂

[@harshsuniltrivedi8284]
