Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Well, it seems that we've had a lot of bitching and moaning about Logic in
the past. Even though a lot of it is valid, we are all Logic users for a
reason. Because we like Logic.

I did this once before and thought I'd do it again. List some things I like
about Logic. I hope that others will chime in too because simply stating a
few of your likes could teach some of the less experienced Logic users some
things they didn't know.

1. Drawing Track Automation is easy - click to add a node, click to erase.
Dragging a line up or down move the two surrounding nodes up and down in
unison.

2. Drawing curves in track automation is easy.

3. I like being able to easily set and restore two different zoom settings
for the Arrange window. I've got '1' and '2' setup to recall the settings
and Shift+1 and Shift+2 to save them. I use this constantly.

4. I like being able to setup and use an "AutoLoad" song so that all new
songs will have defaults that make sense for my particular studio setup and
with default instruments that I frequently use in my songs.

5. I like that when you save a plug-in setting (for instance a reverb
setting) that that setting becomes listed in what I guess is a "most
frequently used" list of settings so that I don't have to actually use the
Load Settings command very often.

6. I like being able to, after opening one particular insert, toggle through
all other inserts through a list.

7. I like being able to force Legato on selected notes with Shift+Tab.

8. I like that Logic can be set to ask to move automation data when moving a
region.

9. I love the Channel EQ plug-in. Making changes with the mouse is easy and
intuitive. At least it was for me. You have several ways to do it too.

That's enough for starters. Anyone else have some to add?
