#229: Finish Songs Faster with These Logic Pro Workflow Tips

Logic Pro workflow tips can dramatically speed up music production, and in this episode of Inside The Mix, Marc Matthews breaks down seven practical Logic Pro tweaks that remove friction and help producers finish more music, faster.

Designed for beginner to intermediate Logic Pro users, this episode tackles a common frustration: slow sessions that kill creativity. Marc explains why workflow, not plugins, CPU power, or inspiration, is usually the real bottleneck in Logic Pro music production.

Listeners learn how to restore creative flow with MIDI Chase, ensuring sustained notes always trigger when playback starts mid-phrase. Marc then shows how to assign a third tool to the right mouse button so essential edits like Gain or Scissors are always one click away. Visual organisation comes next, with auto-colouring tracks, regions, and markers to make large sessions readable at a glance.

Timing and arrangement get a boost using Groove Track and Flex, aligning stacked vocals quickly while keeping performances natural. Marc also shares overlooked Logic Pro workflow tips for routing, like instantly revealing the correct aux, and using marker shortcuts to navigate song structure without breaking momentum. The episode wraps with a powerful creative trick: converting Flex Pitch data to MIDI to generate new musical ideas directly from audio.

Each tip is explained clearly, with real-world examples and a focus on repeatable systems you can build into your templates.

Slow Logic Pro sessions aren’t about plugins or CPU, they’re about workflow friction. Marc Matthews shares 7 beginner-friendly Logic Pro workflow tips that speed up editing, organisation, timing, routing, and creative decision-making so you can stay in flow and finish more music, faster.
