160 Logic Pro X Keyboard Shortcuts

No Logic Pro X user is capable of remembering all the Logic Pro X shortcuts. The general rule of thumb is to learn those shortcuts that you use most often. For example, a rap producer may not use the same Logic Pro X shortcuts as a film producer, as they have different needs. When mixing, it’s often important to be able to jump to different parts or sections using the Logic Pro X shortcuts.

Below is a list of Logic Pro X shortcuts that are commonly used by various users. These shortcuts cover editing, transport, mixing, file management, and various other tasks. For me, one of the most important shortcuts to learn while mixing is using the marker tool. You can download the Logic Pro X shortcuts list in PDF format.
