Logic 9 Screen q's

[Chris]

So to make this as short as possible, I am trying to have my selected screen as the arrange window, while editing in the sampler editor window. I am scrolling through regions in the arrange, using the arrow key, and dragging in the region. I have the two screen linked.

The problem is whenever I drag the region and crop it how I want in the sampler, it selects that screen so now I have to click back on the arrange before I can arrow over to the next region. This is making going through 1000 regions take a whole hell of a lot more time than it should.

In Logic 7 this worked fine, since I was just cropping the sampler region are and not selecting it the focus didn't change. Is there something I need to click or will this just not work in 9?

Not quite the solution you're after, but if you use the W key to bring up the wave editor within the Arrange page you can use tab to go between them. The active part of the window will be highlighted.

I haven't yet found a hotkey to switch between separate windows, but I find this is handy for the batch editting jobs.

[Chris]

Well that option actually has sped me up quite a bit. Hitting W is a hell of a lot faster than mousing up, clicking, then mousing back down.

[Kickflip]

Yeah, using a mouse can be so slow sometimes! Glad to have helped

You can do that from within finder.

System prefs ---> keyboard ---> keyboard shortcuts.

alt-w is move focus to next window in active application.

[Kickflip]

Aha, didn't know that one but figured it'd be in there somewhere!

It's option and ` over here, option and W closes the window, which will also be handy.

I've probably customised my settings already.

Do you know the name of it? I searched for "move" and "focus" and neither came up in the key commands.

That's the name of it - are you looking in Logic's Key Commands window? It's in the OSX System Preferences.

dunno if it s what you are looking for but cmd + > key switch from windows to windows

Yeah I'm looking in the key commands and the key commands have a search in the upper right so you can find stuff. Putting those words in doesn't find anything.

As mentioned already by KickFlip, look under system preferences in the finder.

Go to "keyboard", choose "keyboard shortcut" tab. There you should find the necessary.

Good luck.
