Some Logic key commands cannot be changed or???

Hi!
Now i know that Logic copyng region when i drag it by holding Option key
So how i can reassign this key (to command key for example)?
I cant find this command in commands list
Please help!

You can't.
Logic's key commands are only re-configurable to within certain limits.
OPT+dragging to make a copy of something is a standard Mac way of doing things. This can't be changed.

Sync logic key commands?

hi.
anyone know if its possible to sync logic key commands with more than one mac?

Hi
Yes they do, but they can be a bit fiddly to get right.
Step 1
All Macs on the same Local Network?
Step 2
Preferences:Sharing
On the 'Primary' Mac tick the "Key Commands" box in the Bonjour section. You might want to do this for all Macs on the network?
On the "Slave" Macs, tick the box to look for Shared Data on the LAN (might want to do this for all Macs on the LAN?)
Step 3
On the 'Primary Mac', save the current Key Commands using the Options:Export function in the Key Commands window.
Step 4
Depending on your firewall preferences, you may need to restart Logic on the slave Macs (and you may get an alert about in-coming network/firewall messages... Accept).
Step 5
On the Slave Mac, open the key commands window; Options:Presets.... under Bonjour, you should see your "Primary' key commands listed.
Alternatively, Save (Export) the KC's from one Mac, copy the file to the others, then open them using KC Window:Options:Presets.
The KC files are saved in
<User>:Library:Application Support:Logic:Key Commands

Clash of Mac and Logic Key Command Assignments

Greetings to all
I use a Mac Powerbook G4 laptop 15" Model 5,8
In Logic I have keys F9-F12 programmed as the slow and fast rewind forward and back ( ie 4 commands in all)
The Mac factory programmed short cuts, F11 and F12 are usually used for Expose/Mac functions but are reprogrammable, so I went into System Preferences/Keyboard and reprogrammed them as OPTION F11 and F12 for Mac functions.
This then allowed me to use F11 and F12 for the dedicated Logic function.
However, Apple System Preferences for some reason does not 'remember' the reprogrammed keyboard short cut ... which means that each time I boot up Logic, I have to go into System Preferences and reprogramme the short cuts in Apple again.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi
Sounds like you are still using the (old) Logic 8 (?) key commands. Zoom was changed in the Logic 9 defaults to Control+Option and the arrow keys.
Control Arrow L/R controls Mission Control in Lion (ie 'Spaces').
You could change the defaults in System Preferences:

Help with Logic Key Commands

So i just jump from Cubase to Logic ind i like it.
But there was a very nice key commands in Cubase and i cant set same in Logic:
When i draging the region(holding Alt)in Cubase he make a copy of region
So,can i do the same in Logic?
Thanks!

Have you tried it?
Yes, holding the alt key down (also known as the option key), and then dragging, will copy a region.

Key commands changed

What has happened in Logic 9 to the key command "Tie Regions By Position Change" . I have imported my Logic 8 Key commands & several have changed but I constantly use this key command. Can anyone help ?

No I spoke too soon, it's been a nightmare. With 3 or 4 regions it works in a predictable way, but larger than that I can't predict what its doing. Regions jump to new positions that I dont want.
I do lots of editing of tracks not synced to Logic, I put lots of regions in the order I want them, (on a track in the arrange page). With "Tie regions by position change" they kept in the same order of there start position but in one go buffered up next to each other.
Using "Shuffle regions left within selection" with lots of regions, jumps some regions several places to the right & each press can further shuffle the regions
But if I go back to Logic 8 the key command applies to "Tie regions by position change" & it behaves as expected

Logic crashed, key commands no longer work as well as certain windows/preferences/tools no longer exist, help!

While trying to record a guitar track direct through from a POD HD Pro (which I've done numerous times), Logic suddenly crashed. The screen went dark and my Macbook Pro rebooted. Once I opened Logic Pro X again, it looks like a more primitive and basic version of Logic. I no longer have the capability to open a separate mix/midi/score/etc window. When I select midi tracks they do not show up in the piano roll as to be able to edit. I've also lost all key command functions (i used just default Logic key commands). Is there any way to restore Logic Pro X or do I need to reinstall it? Thanks!

Sounds like Logic's prefs got deleted or corrupted so...
First, do this (Note you will lose any custom key commands you may have created ...)
Quit Logic pro X and then....
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
Press the Go button.
Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Restart the computer.
Now after restarting Logic... go to Logic Preferences/Advanced and turn on all the advanced features...
Set other preferences back to how you like them (Not forgetting selecting your Audio device)
Things should be then back to normal again...

Pro Tools key command set?

Is this no longer included? That's a real shame. does anyone know how to accomplish this? I don't see it in the key commands menu, and the logic setup assistant is no more..

Hey I just read a post by "Fuzzy chair Productions" in a different thread and they posted this explanation of how to import Logic 7 key commands, set your keys in 7 to protools settings, then use this to import the ones that match up into Logic 8. Don't know for sure if it'll work, because I don't want to do it. But worth a try, and thanks to Fuzzy chair Productions for the explanation below:
To import Logic 7 key commands into Logic Pro 8:
In the Key Commands window, choose Options > Import Key Commands.
Select the Logic 7 preferences file in the file selector you can find it >~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
Logic Pro 8 will inform you about all changes which apply to your key command set at this point.
Note: Some Logic 7 commands may work differently—or may not be functional at all in Logic Pro >8.
To switch back and forth between the Logic Pro 8 and Logic 7 key command sets, you need to >export the Logic 7 key command set in the Logic Pro 8 format.
To export a key command set in Logic Pro 8:
In the Key Commands window, choose Options > Export Key Commands.
Type a name such as “My Logic 7 Key Commands” and click Save.

Key command for ARRANGE/track/sort tracks

Need to automate. Arrange/tracks/ sort tracks... Not supported in logic key commands. 3rd party macro recorder needed. Any suggestions? AppleScript?

The Logic-style approach to faders is a strange one. In ProTools you have sliders which are much easier to move in increments. You can also enter the volumes by typing in a number, allowing very precise adjustment. Apple probably opted for the tiny blue knobs so they would take up less space in the track window. I do like being able to see many tracks at once so this is probably a good decision.
Heck, I have learned to live with it. The more I use Garageband the more I realize just how cool an app it is. Apple has given a near-pro level app to us for next nothing. In addition, I am using Jampacks 4, which opens a whole new world. The sounds are stunning and mixed in a way that requires very little eq to get your mix to sound fantastic. In my last mix all I did was balance the sound levels and add some reverb via the Ambience plugin to push some sounds to the back and the mix was done. Wow!

PUZZLER: How to assign the TAB key to a key command

For the past 11 years I've had the TAB key assigned to "record toggle". But in L8 I can't seem to make this k/command assignment occur... Even when the learn function is activated in the k/commands window, whenever I hit the TAB key to assign it to the currently highlighted key command, it simply changes the focus of the cursor, moving it from the highlighted command to the search field.
Looking for a clue... anyone?

do you remember losing the function keys when tiger came out?
Yeah, I remember losing F14 and F15. They still don't work. But I've since figured out that those keys are reserved for adjusting the brightness on various Apple laptops, and I think also some other models. However, it doesn't apply to someone like, er, um, me who has a desktop-model Mac and a 3rd-party monitor which doesn't have a brightness control that responds to... you guessed it, F14 and F15. So those keys are dead, 'cept for my modifier key variants.
I tried importing my L7 prefs and sure enough, my L7 TAB assignment worked just fine. But I quickly reverted to my saved L8 prefs cuz I didn't want to take a chance of corrupting something or other because of an "illegal" key command assignment.
So I guess it's time to find another key for "record toggle". TAB is going to be an 11 year-old habit that's gonna die hard, I can tell...

Problems Editing Key Commands

This started occuring after I opened a new project and played about with the 'adjust tempo by length locators' command.
I originally had apple T set as the shortcut to split regions, sometime during this it changed to the shortcut for the tempo change command.
Now when I go back to the key command list to change it, I can't seem to set split at SPL back to apple T; whenever I press T, it enters as "-116" ?!
Hopefully that makes sense, it's frustrating me a lot!

Hmm, it seems only the split by rounded SPL is working.
The standard split at SPL has been set to shift,apple T, but this is doing nothing whatsoever.
I've checked through the list and found the shortcut used twice so I got rid of the other instances but it's still not working.
Is it possible to search the key command list by shortcut rather than by function?

Q ? key commands with the new small keyboard ?

Does the new small wireless work properly compared with the extended keyboard with logics default key commands ? Is it just like working with a laptop ? If anyone can help I would appreciate it thanks .

They key commands are the same for the smaller keyboard as they are for the laptop; nothing is different.
If you go to your system's library /Library/Application Support/Logic/Key Commands/ ...
you will see a bunch of different Key Command files with the extension '.logikcs'
You could get yourself a keypad too, I've seen them online and at the Apple store; or, if you have an iPhone or iPod Touch, you could make that be your keypad; then you can implement using the the 'U.S.logikcs'

Advice needed on Key Commands presets in Logic

Hi, just upgraded to Snow Leopard and Logic 9 and very happy. Now I'm planning to work more with key commands. While watching many Logic 9 tutorial video's on youtube etc. I find different Logic users seem to work with different (default) key commands. For example: on http://www.youtube.com/user/groove3Inc#p/search/2/BSE3VdlkZJM he's using Ctrl * for 'Capture as recording', while for me the default command is Ctrl Alt Cmd R
Now my question is:
1. What is the default / standard key command preset in Logic
2. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use (also considering that on a different location I sometimes work with Protools)
3. Which Key Command preset in Logic would be best to use considering the many tutorials I find on the web
Or any other advice / tips on key commands...
Thanks!

You can easily create your own set of key commands, according to your own needs. I mean, you still can learn some built-in key commands, but you can also change them as you please. Probably, in your case it might make sense to have the same set of key commands for both Logic and Pro Tools, to make life easier.

Exchange Connector 3.0 (Hotfix Release) Error - Error Message=The key value of an object cannot be changed.

Hello,
I am running Service Manager 2012 with the Exchange Connector 3.0 RTM (Re-release Version). The issue I have is that when an e-mail is processed that is trying to update the status or event log of an incident, the Exchange Connector encounters an error
and will not update the object. The Operations Manager log denotes:
Exchange Connector: Unable to process mail item. Subject="Close Ticket: [IRXXXXX]", Error Message=The key value of an object cannot be changed.
This will happen on a seemingly random selection of Incident work items. I cannot correlate them with a specific template, exchange connector, or incident tier queue that could be causing the issue. I can recreate the way a specific ticket
was created and update it through e-mail without issue, and the next ticket can cause the error to trigger.
I have already opened a Microsoft Support Case using our Software Assurance agreement. After a few months of troubleshooting the issue and trying different fixes, Microsoft support said they were unable to fix the problem and that we would need to
purchase Premier support to go further. At this point I thought I would reach out to the community for ideas.
The setup I have for the Exchange connectors is as follows.
I have three separate Exchange connectors set up to three different mailboxes. One Exchange connector processes external support tickets and applies a specific template. Another processes client support tickets and applies a different template.
And the last Exchange connector processes internal tickets and also processes the updates of tickets created by the other two exchange connectors.
Here are the fixes I've attempted so far:
1. Changed the templates that each Exchange connector applies.
2. Changed the management pack that each template is stored in.
3. Checked my management pack(s) for extended classes by searching for Extension="true" (This was also checked by Microsoft support)
4. Deleted each Exchange connector and recreated each connector
5. Deleted each Exchange connector, deleted the management pack, and reinstalled the management pack and connectors
6. Repeated Step 5, deleted Microsoft.SystemCenter.ExchangeConnector.dll and Microsoft.SystemCenter.ExchangeConnector.resources.dll and then installed the Exchange connector Re-release version 3.0 Published 10/7/2013 (which is supposed to address this
issue)
7. Deleted the HealthServiceState folder and restarted the Management Service
I'm not really sure what to do at this point. I've put many hours into customizing my installation to get it working for my organization so reformatting and starting from scratch would be a nightmare scenario. This environment is in production.
I do have a band-aid in place using Orchestrator. Basically I have a monitor task searching for the error message and when it finds one it searches the mailbox for the offending e-mail and applies either the Resolve or Close status change that is requested
from the user. However, I do not have it working to update the ticket if a comment is applied to the incident. If anyone is in this position and needs to know how to apply this Orchestrator task I am willing to provide my workflow.
I am new to the community and am already impressed with the amount of help and effort there is in this forum. I appreciate in advance any help that is provided and am open to any ideas at this point. I can post more information as needed.
Thank you,
John

Yes that is the whole template. However, I did confirm that this is only happening to incidents where either of two situations triggers a runbook to fire and modify the incident. When I remove the activity from the incident it does clear the
issue. For some background the first Runbook Activity set's the first response date when an incident is resolved if the first response value is null. The second assigns the incident to a user upon creation if the title contains assignto:username;

What is the key command to open Audition in Logic 8?

The little play icon in the bin, sample editor, etc.
The one for auditioning things.
Doesn't work for me. The only way I can get, for example, a playback from cursor position in the sample editor--is to manually click on the little green play icon with the mouse. Same with the bin, loops, and so on.
For many years I've had key commands to do this kind of thing, but it is broken for me since Logic 8. What is the key command for this called? I've tried disabling the space bar as a key command, and I've also tried re-enabling it for "play or stop". Although in the latter case, that should still function the way it does in the arrange window.
Actually, I've tried a lot of things and I'm completely out of ideas.
I posted on this subject several months ago and it remains unresolved. For the life of me I cannot get the audition button to work via any key command.
Help?
TIA

Hi
If you imported your key commands from version 7 there can be problems in version 8.
Try using one of the key command presets from version 8.

Logic crashes when using the "Close Project without Saving" key command

The "Close Project without Saving" key command does not work in LP8. When I try to use it, Logic crashes. This is reproducible on my system. Can anyone try and confirm this?

For me this shortcut is quite important on stage when I have to switch songs as fast as possible. It also is foolproof because on stage I never want to save with all the controller changes I did during a performance.
Just hit the key command, load the next song, done.
