Hey all. Getting to where I want to use key commands for more & more things. The default state of my key commands has several functions defined by keystroke (or keystroke combinations), but most commands/functions are undefined. Is there a full set of keycommands -- whether by emagicapple or by one of you powerusers -- that I can download & use instead of creating all of my own (which is proving to be a mind@#$%). Thanks y'all. TiBook + MOTU828 + LAMP 4.8.1

(i have been working with my own keykommands for years now but everytime someone different is working at our studio the drama begins. and i somethimes whish the keycommands would NOT be freely configurable. please emagic think of a clever solution to multiusersettings.)

The key commands are stored in your "Logic 5 Preferences" file. So, when you go to another studio (or someone comes to yours), take that file with you on a floppy, or email it, or something. Make a backup of the local Logic prefs file (important!) Then use the "Import Key Commands" menu command in the Key Commands window to import the key commands from the "foreign" Logic prefs file. When you need the old ones back, import them again from the local prefs file backup you made... It's fairly quick to switch between two different sets of keycommands this way. Though a very useful addition would be to define keycommand "sets" and be able to switch sets with a keycommand. John Pitcairn

I believe Logic should be able to save various kinds of "sub" files with key command settings, event lists, channel strips and so on. Regards - Colin

Put your own name on the folder. Then, when they change everything, also save a copy of the changed prefs to another folder [with their name on it]. Then all you have to do is 'import keycommands' each time the helm changes hands. There is no need to reboot, this can be done mid-session. [I'm talking MacOS here, so I'm not 100% sure if it's the same on Win] Dave Eager

I can think of ways to make the process quicker and to assign a set of commands to a key using QuicKeys and AppleScript, but it would still require using the prefs file and making a backup. It would be great if there was a folder in the Logic folder called "KeyCommands", "save" & "load" commands in the key commands window (as text files?), and the ability to load multiple keycommand files and switch between them on the fly. Maybe even be able to load a particular set just for a specific window-type, so one user could work in the Arrange using their commands, another in the Matrix using theirs, etc. If wishes were fishes, eh...?

The powerkeys option doesn't appeal, since I'm using a TiBook, and their keyboard overlays are, as far as I can tell, just for regular keyboards. Also, it's 30 bux. I guess I'd buy powerkeys if they had a laptop equivalent. Does anybody have their own "powerkeys" that they'd like to donate? Dunno if that's a presumptuous request...

I don't think there would be much difference in the overall effort required , in the long run. Dave Eager

hi Dave, another Dave here as it goes........ I would say that there is no quick way of diciding what keys u want to assign to what (or learning them), but it soley depends on what u use most I guess. I tend to use key commands more than the mouse (my mouse is prone to bad mouse days). Simple things like moving left/right in various windows with the arrow keys makes life (arranging audio for example) far quicker. Then using the ctrl key or the alt key along with the arrow keys allows me to move objects in arrange by bar/tick/format......etc........ What do u use most Dave - thats the thing..... my key commands change almost on a weekly basis - depending what phase Im in the process of the song Im doing at the time....if ya know what I mean.... see ya Dave, take care Dave....... Dave #:-|)

Hi all, ......again Dave Eager, sorry for getting the name wrong.......(Rob?) I have only a small system, PC - Windows 98SE, Athlon 550; 20 GB IDE HD and a SoundBlaster LiveII soundcard - I use Logic Audio 4.8.1. I have 2 questions. The first is related to Logic running with Reason using Rewire. 1.When I use Reason as a sound module from Logic there is a delay (something to do with latency guess). This only happens when using Rewire. However, when I start Reason first and Logic second (the useal linking of software via midi clock sync) everything works fine. I've checked all the settings within Logic that you can and still no joy. 2. I have DirectX 8.1 installed on my system but in Logic's device setup I cant select it (its stuck on MME - nightmare!!!) - or even see it for that matter.......Anyways, thanks in advancefor any advise/help any of you may be able to give me........
