Key command for playing region in sample edit window... doesn't work?

I'm trying to get the play/stop key commands to behave as they did in L7. I want to use the enter and zero keys on the number pad to start and stop playback in the arrange window. I want to use the space bar ONLY to play back the selected region when I'm in the sample edit window.
(reason being when you're flying back and forth between the two windows, it's all too easy to start the transport in the arrange window, an annoyance when editing individual pieces of audio in the sample editor)
When I assign the space bar to the key command "play/stop region" in the sample edit window, it only plays the entire waveform... i.e. it doesn't play only the highlighted region. This must be a bug. If you click the little speaker icon ("prelisten") in the sample editor, it will play the selected region only, but there's no hot key for this button.
Oddly, the "windows showing audio files" play/stop key command, DOES play only the selected region in the sample edit window, but unfortunately, this key command behaves globally, so if the arrange window is selected, it stops and starts playback there too, which I don't want.
Any ideas (besides a bugfix)?
Thanks...

Hi,
Prelisten is defaulted to ⌥M. You can reassign any keycommand though. See p. 159 of the LP8 User Manual.

Key Command troubles: Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position not working?

Hello,
I'm simply trying to find a key command that will allow me to move regions quickly from one part of a song to another without dragging with them with the mouse in the arrange window. I thought I found the solution with the key command "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position", however it doesn't seem to be doing anything!
Here's what I've tried: First I select the region I want to move, then I move my SPL to a location using the "go to Position" key command and typing in a bar. I then try to use the "Set Region/Event Start to SPL Position" key command (which I set to Shift-Control-L) and nothing happens. Shouldn't it be moving my region to the SPL? Note: the region is still selected, but refuses to move. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not what this key command was designed to do?
In my attempts to get the darn thing to work, I also discovered that lock screen-set (Shift-L) key command also does not seem to work (it is not toggling the black dot after the screen-set number like usual). Does this mean my key commands may be corrupted? (which would be a real drag!!) Oddly enough, these are the two are the only two that do not seem to be working, as all others seem to be working fine (AFAIK).
I've had this problem in the past with the lock screen-set key command not working, and rebuild all key commands and templates when I upgraded to tiger. I thought everything was working fine!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help!!

I assigned F5 to two functions. In the key commands
window, pressing F5 highlighted the first assignment.
Pressing it again highlighted the second assignment.
So just keep pressing the key to see whether it's
assigned to more than one command...
Well, now when I type "Shift-L" into the finder in the top right of the key commands window, no key commands at all are show. However, which I search for the word "lock," the lock screenset key command comes up as "Shift-L." Oddly, if I search any other key commands (such as F1, "cmd-k," or even other shift ones like "shift-," the associated key commands show up.
To test, I changed the screen set lock from Shift-L to "opt-ctrl-L" and it now works again. However, it still will not come up in the key commands window through searching by "opt-ctrl-L"
On what may be a side note, the search feature seems very buggy! Tell me if I'm doing this right: First I open the key commands window, which opens with nothing selected. Now, in order to search by key command I go up to the top right corner where the magnifying glass is, place my curser inside and type in the key command correct? When I do this, it shows me the highlighted key command in the left, and my curser is no longer flashing up in the magnifying glass, correct?
Now, in order to search again, I have to place my curser in the search field again, right? However, now when I search by key command, not all of them register! For example, my "go to position" key command is simply ; but when I type it, nothing comes up in the search, and instead of the magnifying glass window being blank like before, the actual ; is in the box. Oddly enough, searching with "Cmnd-K" still works!
What is going on? Am I doing something wrong? How do I fix this, as it is very frustrating!! thanks again for your help

After update to ioS 7.0.3, Airplay function for playing music with the Home amplifier doesn't work anymore.

I used to listen to Ipad music on my home video using Airplay function.
After updating to iOS 7.0.3, the Airplay icon is no more available for choosing local/remote reading.
Does anybody has an idea?

So everytime they update there OS I should go and re-read the entire manual, I'm not the only one who had this problem, why was is so hard to find an answer from Apple, why didn't they just say read the manaul, all I got was bunch of links saying to make sure your wi-fi is setup correctly, reset yout ipad, they didn't answer the question....

Sample edit window Help!

How can I play a selection In the Sample edit window with a key command?
If I hit Space bar (my play/stop key command) it plays from the beginning, but it doesn't play the selection, and it doesn't play even from the playhead.
Any ideas please?

Here's what I'm imagining:
you're using the main arrange window, you have your audio bin open as well as the sample editor. If you don't have the sample window selected, you may triggering from the audio bin. The tab key actually switches windows (within the arrange) and you'll see a subtle hi-lite of the active window.
Maybe that'll help?

__ Is there a way to adjust the key commands for switching channels in curves?

By that I mean <command> + 1 for cyan, <command> + 2 for magenta etc. like Photoshop CS3 rather than <option> + 3 for cyan etc.
There's gotta be a way under Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts - but I can't find it!

Key commands for part box missing in Logic Pro X

The manual mentions several key commands for selecting objects in the part box, that would make this a very efficient step time input program, but they don't exist in the key command list.
Can anyone help? All I want to do is select note or pause values with one hand while inputting pitc from a midi controller keyboard.

Thanks for this reply. You are correct I am actually running 10.9 and fully up to date on software updates for August 2014. My bad, thought I had taken the most recent option from the drop down menu.
I have been able to fix the issue but going into Library/ApplicationSupport/Logic and removing the 'drummer' folder. I also went into the plugins folder and removed 'drum presets'. I put all removed files onto a new folder on my desktop.
When I tried to open a drummer track Logic detected that the files were missing and prompted me to download the missing 'drummer files' once the download was complete, drummer operated correctly with all drummers available again.
I went back into the file system again and moved some of the drum presets that I had initially moved out (I had originally acquired these when I first installed Logic and did a lengthy additional content download) that had not re-downloaded back into 'drum presets'. All drumkits were now available too.
If the issue occurs again I'll take a look at Spotlight file reindexing - would be worth a try and probably quicker. It would make sense that the underlying issue here is one around the drummer sampler code having issues around indexing the sample data.

As I'm not sure if all the labels are the same in Lion, he's a screenshot from Snow Leopard. It should be similar enough:

Key Command for "Go to Next Marker" doesn't work properly

Hi there!
While using Logic Pro 9.1.8 with Mountain Lion (10.8.2), it seems that the Key Command for "Go to Next/Previous Marker" doesn't work properly.
The only effect is, that a grey rectangle moves in the top of the Arrange Area while ignoring the Markers itself.
Any suggestions to solve it or is it me that is misbehaving?
Cheers, GJ

Hi
The commands work correctly here on the same OS etc: Cycle Locators jump to the next/prev marker and the Playhead jumps to the Start of the Marker.
Default KC are Control Command +Arrow Left/right
Step 1: check you are using the correct key command :-)

Key Command for Option Clicking a Marker

Option Clicking a Marker does just what I want. It sets the playhead to the beginning of that marker without selecting the marker. Now if I could make the Keypad behave the same way, I could save myself a lot of damage to my Marker tracks. Right now a keypad # selects the marker, moves the playhead to it and sets the locators around it. preferences to make this more granular would be welcome.
The option keypad numbers seem to be unused in the default key commands. Perhaps the option key could be set to trigger the same behaviour as option clicking a marker. it makes it intuitive (meaning I tried it.)

The only way I can think of is to use a Macro app like QuicKeys assigning a KeyStrokes to a sequence of two key commands:
For example:
ctr+opt+cmd+1 triggers 1 (go to Marker 1) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
ctr+opt+cmd+2 triggers 2 (go to Marker 2) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
ctr+opt+cmd+3 triggers 3 (go to Marker 3) followed by sh+opt+D (Deselect All)
You can assign the QuickKeys commands (ctr+opt+cmd+1, etc) to the keypads and they will move the Playhead to that Marker and selects the Marker. However, QuicKeys sends the second KeyCommand right away and deselects the Marker.
No deleting of selected Marker by accident anymore.
The KeyCommands in Logic are already very powerful, but when combined with QuicKeys (or any other Macro app) that lets you fire up a sequence of KeyCommands or mouse click on specific areas on the Logic interface per key commands, then it gets really powerful. Combine that with multi-touch gestures on your TrackPad using the amazing BetterTouchTool app, an you can take your customized workflow to a whole new level.
Hope that helps

Key Command for Closing Plug Windows Gone 4-Ever?

I know there's a command for hiding plugin windows, but that's not quite the same thing... I'm sorely lamenting the (apparent) loss of the L7 key command for closing plugin float windows. Seems like it's a mouse-only operation now.
Or is it? Please let me know if I'm missing anything (including a crafty workaround)...

Key Command for Snapping

I've found that turning off "snapping" at certain times is just as useful as turning it on are at others. Sure would be useful if there was a key command for toggling this feature on and off. Anyone know if there is such a command? If not, perhaps Apple can consider it for the next iteration.

I gotta bring up one of my favorite third-party utilities for the Mac, QuicKeys. QuicKeys lets you create macros that do simple tasks and complex tasks. You can assign a keystroke to do just about anything on your Mac.
You can assign your own keystroke to a menu command. Or perform complex tasks, like open the iMovie preferences window, set the snap checkbox, then close the window. Macros can even be intelligent. "If the snapping checkbox is off, turn it on. Otherwise leave it on."
So for tasks done several times a day, I often create a QuicKeys command.
An example. A QuicKeys command for Safari just italicised that word and made this one bold. First QuicKeys typed the HTML tag for italics, then moved the cursor to the middle of the tag so Safari was ready for me to type the italicized text.

PS: And Quickeys does not force me to add the tag to the end of the message, unlike those pesky formatting buttons above.

Hi
If you are on a small keyboard (ie with no numbers pad) use FunctionShift Return
or If you are on a 'numbers keyboard', the Enter key is on the right next to the 3 key (and NOT the Return Key).

What is the Mac key command for 'send link' in the File Menu?

Is there a Mac key command for the 'send link' under the File Menu? I use this a lot and like to use key commands.

Where did my "back" button go & is there a key command for it?

Two questions:
1. Somehow I lost my "back" and "forward" buttons. There where there one day and now they're gone. I have a refresh button, an add bookmark button and a go to homepage button but the others have vanished. Where have they gone?
2. Are there key commands for "back" and "forward?" It sure would make surfing easier.
Thanks!

Go to your Safari View Menu and select Customize ToolBar. There you'll be able to drag/drop the back/fwd buttons to the bar.
Quickkey command -
back command key + [
forward - command key + ]
These key prompts are listed in the History Menu.

Sample Edit window - no waveform display

When I have a pretty loaded up song that's stretching the memory I find that if I try to open an audio file in the sample edit window the window is just blank with no waveforms or menues. Re-booting can solve the problem for a while then it returns midway through working on the song. I guess it's just Logic running out of internal memory (I have as much RAM installed as Logic can currently access).
Anyone have any sugestions/solutions? I've done the usual undo history thing and tried to rationalise the memory and am reluctant to start dissing plug-ins/instruments to gain the memory back - "re-organize memory" has no effect.
When this occurs I can continue to load extra plug-ins and open new instruments so the memory isn't totally maxed out but perhaps too loaded to handle the waveform display in the sample edit window.
All other elements work OK when this problem exists.
Julian

John, the thread you mentioned now seems to have a solution to the problem
it worked on my system.
