Welcome to the video. Let's make good use of your screen real estate by creating screen sets. My absolute favorite thing about setting up screen sets is you can set them up just the way you like them. You can store the position, the size, the zoom level, and the cursor tools of every screen set. What I like to do is set up a specific window, in this case, the piano roll. Then I set up the cursor tools that I like to use within that window here.

I like to use the scissor tool and the Select tool. This way every time I revisit the piano roll the page and the cursor tools are already set up to meet my specific workflow needs. There are 81 memory locations available for screen sets within logic. I'll show you the way I set it up and you can customize yours according to your taste. On screen set one, I like the tracks window. Two, I like to set up a mixer window.

Three, piano roll. Four, I kind of made this up. This is an automation window. Five step editor. Six Smart Controls. Seven audio editor.

Event list editors on number eight. And that's that. So how do we create these screen sets? Well, if you hit the number one, you're always going to have this Main window here, okay, see this number one up here. It's directly connected to this to the screen set. So if we hit number two, well all of a sudden we get a new window.

Okay, but let's just say we don't want the tracks. When we want a mixer, you go to a window, the key command for open mixer is command two. Let's hit that. We're going to cancel the other window and resize this to our liking. So every time you hit one, it's connected to the tracks window two, and now to the mixer. To make sure that this stays in place, you want to go back to the number here and hit lock.

This will ensure that this screen stays here and there aren't any mishaps so every time you hit one, there's the tracks window to the mixer. If you wanted the piano roll, same thing you hit number three, you get another window. What is the key command for piano roll command for let's hit that. Cancel the old window out, resize this to your liking, and now we have the piano roll. So if you got one, two and three. Well, let's just say every time we went back to the tracks window, we wanted a special feature like in this case, transport float.

Let's just say I'm working in the piano roll, do my thing and then all of a sudden I need to go back to screen set number one. The transport flow will be here from now on. Way to secure that again is to lock it. Bear in mind that we can recall screen sets, we can lock them, duplicate, rename and even delete them in this window here. Good luck setting up your own screen sets. I'm super excited about sharing the next module in which we will get into plugins.

Thank you for watching.
