Musical Typing
In this lecture, we are going to talk about something called musical typing in Logic Pro.

Keyboard shortcuts and Key Commands
In this lecture, I'm going to talk about the main Keyboard Shortcuts or Key Commands in Logic Pro.
Keyboard Shortcuts or Key Commands are basically shortcuts that allow you to do certain tasks in Logic Pro with just the hit of one of two buttons on your Mac keyboard. They can really come in handy when you don’t want to spend loads of time on the mouse, or if you are performing and recording yourself. You can just hit a button or two and return to your instrument, ready to record.
There are a few keyboard shortcuts or key commands that make editing and recording a lot easier on Logic Pro. Key commands also come in handy if you are performing and recording yourself; then, you can quickly hit a few buttons and get back to your instrument rather than searching around on your mouse.
There are the basic ones that work on all Mac applications, and there are also a few less obvious shortcuts that might come in handy.
So in this lecture, I will go over the main ones for you to use when recording, producing and editing music in Logic Pro.

Screensets
In this lecture, I'm going to show you something called Screensets.
Screensets basically create shortcuts so that you can open and close new windows on Logic Pro with the click of one button rather than constantly opening and closing windows.

Apple Loops - Part 1
In this Music Production in Logic Pro - The Complete Course lecture, we will discuss Apple Loops.
Apple loops are pre-recorded bits of audio that are royalty-free. This means that we can use any of it in our songs, which is great and can be really useful. The Apple loops are also great building blocks to get ideas for songs.
Loops are called loops because a piece of music or sound can seamlessly go round and round in a continuous loop.
There are two different types of Apple Loops: MIDI and audio loops. Audio loops are played in real-time, where the part is actually played by a musician, e.g., an audio guitar loop. MIDI loops are MIDI information put onto a software instrument, such as a synthesiser.
Logic Pro has tons of both types of loops that you can use for your songs.
