Custom Hot Keys for Apple Logic Pro

Video Transcript

This is Bill Macpherson for Expert Village okay in this clip I would like to talk about key commands now key commands are a great way to get things done very fast without using your mouse. I can show you if you go up into menu and then go up to region, merge, regions you can see that there's a J next to it and that's the key command for it, now instead of going through this mouse bringing up the menu you can just actually hit J on your keyboard. Now in logic there's tons and tons of different things that you can do so to learn all the key commands would take forever so you can set them yourself, and what you do is go under logic pro, preferences and bring up your key commands. And you can even see that this has a key command set to it option K, so we'll press option K and here's our key command window, now you can see there's many different things to set there's your global commands, and you can set everything from your environment window, score window, audio window you open this up you can see different things that are already set for it. Let's go to our global commands now you can see the play is on the enter button player stop is on the space bar, now you can change these if you like by going up here onto the top right, you can see the play button is set to enter and up here it says enter. Now if you wanted to change this you just select it hit the key you want it to change it to, let's just say for instance we want it to put it on the D button, press D and you can also add these modifiers the shift, option command, control anyone of the four and you can add all of them together if you like. We can make this option shift D we can change any number of different things in here you can set a key command for create marker if you like, and that's how you set key commands in logic pro.
