  1. Hello I am getting a new MacBook Pro soon, and I would like to know how it works to transfer Logic Pro X from my current MacBook Pro to the new MacBook Pro. I purchased Logic Pro X several years ago, but I don't have any record of a license key or activation key. Thank you
  2. Exactly right. Now I have the shortcuts set to move forward and back by 1 bar, which is exactly what I want. Thank you.
  3. I'm currently trying to understand the keyboard shortcuts for "move locators." What I want to be able to do is move (or "slide") the cycle region (yellow) backwards and forwards on the timeline using keyboard shortcuts so I don't have to change my zoom settings (zoom out) while editing close-up. I found these shortcuts, but they don't really seem to work as I expect. Moving forward does work, but just in 1-bar increments, not by the "advertised" cycle length (which is actually fine for me!). But, moving backwards doesn't work at all: the screen just flashes like it is trying to tell me I am doing something wrong. Any advice on this is appreciated! Thanks!
  4. Thanks, guys. Yes, that's pretty much what I expected. And I think I generally know how to program the instruments. For example, I don't like it when the mod wheel is not mapped to pitch (vibrato), and instead is mapped to filter, or something like that. So, I'll go in and re-map the mod wheel to pitch. Velocity is going to be similar to this. Although, I also use a couple of "lazy man" tricks, like putting different notes from the same instrument on different tracks and set the track volume. Or, use volume automation on the track.
  5. I have been very puzzled for a long time by the fact that some instruments respond to MIDI velocity changes very well (ex: Steinway Grand Piano) but some do not. In the grand piano example, if I want to soften a note's volume, I can reduce the velocity of the MIDI note. In the attached screenshot, I am using the Retro Synth instrument on a string patch. The difference in volume between the note that has 100 velocity and the note that has 1 velocity is negligible. If anything, the note with 1 velocity sound like it has a different attack envelope or something. Am I thinking about velocity incorrectly? Is it not always intended to control note volume? If so, what are alternatives to velocity to get some notes quieter than others?
