Most Common Logic Pro X Key Commands

In this video tutorial I’ll be looking at some of the most commonly used key commands in Logic Pro X and I’ll be showing you how you can really speed up your music production workflow by taking advantage of these fantastic keyboard shortcuts. As I’ve been demonstrating throughout this entire series of tutorials on LPX shortcuts, the whole idea is to get things moving along and save you the hassle of constantly navigating with your mouse pointer, scrolling through endless menus to simply find a single command. By using the techniques shown in the tutorial you get there in a flash and keep your momentum moving forward.

Select All Key Command

The first key command I’ll cover is the Select All shortcut. This one you are very likely to use in practically every session you do and Logic. It allows you to select regions, notes, or other MIDI controller events so that you can process or edit these selections all in one go. There are also different types of selection options such as or Invert Selection or Select Similar and others which will help you narrow down your choices.

Repeat Key Command

Another very useful keyboard shortcut I’ll demonstrate is the Repeat key command which allows you to quickly and efficiently duplicate MIDI events such as notes as well as regions by simply pressing and a couple of keys on your computer keyboard. Now you don’t have to do the Option click drag drop process. You simply use the repeat key command and duplicate to your heart’s content. A very powerful timesaver.

Save Key Command

The Save shortcut is by far the most important shortcut you should be using throughout your music production process. Although you will have Autosave switched on in Logic, it’s always good practice to hit the Save shortcut after you’ve made any significant progress in your project. This should be done instinctively i.e if you create a new recording then hit your key command or if you finish an important edit then hit the shortcut. Just make this a natural part of your production skillset and it will save you a lot of time and possibly stress if there is a crash or power failure. The Save command is your LPX insurance policy.

Undo Key Command

By far my favourite and most commonly used shortcut in Logic Pro X is the Undo shortcut. If the Save command is your insurance policy then the Undo shortcut is my Get out of Jail Free Card full. This one is guaranteed to be your very best friend when working in Logic Pro X so make sure you learn and use it as often as you need to. No more need to use your mouse to click Edit Undo because in a flash you simply hit the Undo key command and you’re back to work you were before you made your mistake.
