UPDATE: I ended up going to Sonoma and it indeed fixed this particular issue, though, I am on an Apple Silicon workstation now, so I don't know if Intel computers are still encountering this on Sonoma.

It's so weird that I came to this thread while working tonight and seeing that you guys had this re-surface haha. Yeah, I've always just used the key command to rename everything, but since I'm in a massive project atm, I figured I'd see if there were any updates to this (or at least LPX adding a feature)... I see that's not the case unfortunately! Haha, happy producing friends!

UPDATE: I've found a small workaround (for now), but it's not perfect. - If you equip the Fade tool and select both (or more) regions you wish to draw a crassfade on, simply draw the crossfade from the region borders (click and drag to the left or right from the exact point where the region borders meet), rather than trying to paintbrush with the Fade Tool. This seem to not make Logic hang.

I see.. 😞 That does make sense, thank you!

Thanks for that tip, but that is not the intended purpose here. The intended purpose is to be able to use the function "Repeat Regions/Cells/Events" and have the MIDI note duplicates automatically be removed so that newer notes can take its place. This comes in handy for chords especially.

Hello! I'm wondering if it's possible to have the MIDI automatically delete as you compose. In the video I provided, you'll see that I used the "Repeat Regions/Cells/Events" function to repeat one MIDI note. In the next area where the MIDI is created, it's created once, and then I do the function again, except the second time, the MIDI is overlapped instead of removing the previous MIDI note. You'll see this when I use the "Delete" function to remove the MIDI and the old MIDI note is still sitting underneath the new one. This is pain when you're composing because the MIDI doesn't remove the old one. I've also attached a screenshot of a function in the Logic menu called "Automatically Erase Duplicates" which is what I assumed would happen, but it does not. Does that function only exist for full MIDI clips or is there an option for "notes"? I'm aware that you can create a keystroke/keybinding for the function in the Edit dropdown called "Delete MIDI Events >> Duplicates", but that's an extra step and would require selecting all the MIDI notes in the Region before operating. So, it would be nice if just by duplicating/repeating events, for the MIDI to remove the duplicate automatically. repeat and delete midi.mp4

Yep exactly! WHY does it behave how we want with shift+vertical scroll!?!?! Another UPDATE: I managed to get a rep at Apple's Logic team to respond to my issue with this. I made him a video of the issue, but I haven't heard anything back yet regarding this particular problem. If I do, I'll update the group! Basically, told them what I said here: the weird inertia/slow-down that the side scrolling does in LPX is infuriating, when we know that shift+vertical scrolling gives us the desired result. I've been working with it for the past couple weeks but it's still irritating. I don't know if I'll ever get over it haha.

UPDATE: I think this is related to LPX somehow as it doesn't happen in Ableton. Hmmm

Oh okay, nice! I own tons of plugins with a bunch of projects going on, so that's the last thing I need breaking. It's more-so just me worried that something will break, don't know what, but it makes me nervous. I mean, if it runs on Ventura, then yeah there's a good chance it runs on Sonoma. I'll think about upgrading soon.

Ahhh I see I see. I kinda suspected that. I would go over to Sonoma, buttttt, I'm too afraid of all of my plugins not working. 😞

I'm getting a very annoying lag/hanging/stutter when utilizing a regular crossfade (using the Fade Tool). Normal fades work great, but crossfades cause the engine to pause (see video: you'll notice my meters pausing for a second). The video I made is in an empty project (nothing special, just audio tracks). - I've already tried restarting my Mac Pro. - Before this, I was on Monterey and Logic 10.7.8 and upgraded to Ventura recently and Logic 10.8.1 (I needed Ventura in order to get access to 10.8.1). - In Monterey, I didn't have this issue. Perhaps it's OS-related and/or Logic 10.8-related. Any ideas?

Yup, completely agree. Thank you my friend. I also think I'm going to raise this with Logitech and see if they can allow those settings to not override Mac's systems like that, lol.

Alrighty so I tried all your suggestions to no avail. I've also learned some things: - This isn't an LPX issue since it's happening elsewhere to me - The macOS system mouse settings don't work as a fix - Logi Options needs to be on the "plus" version (their latest version of the software), which seems to have made it wayyy better, though it still has a smooth decay rather than a snap when I stop side-scrolling. However, at least it's not on zoomies anymore, acclerating for no reason lol. - Lastly, it seems that Logi Options takes over the "Inertia" option that is supposed to be available in System Preferences (but right now it's missing; the only option when searching for "Inertia" in Mouse Settings is the "scroll speed"). Anyway, thanks so much for the help!!!

I don't have a mouse like that at the moment, but I'll have to try it; maybe I can snag a really cheap one and see if it behaves the same. Should I try a single vertical scroll and just hold the shift button for horizontal scrolling while I use the vertical scroll? I'm trying that now (shift+vertical scroll and the behavior is normal). And when I say normal, I mean, it's stopping and starting right where it needs to. When I use the thumbwheel, it'll work like 40% of the time, and then the other 60% of the time, it will randomly choose to just dart around and jump forward or backwards too quickly, which sends my screen into oblivion, especially if I'm zoomed in haha.

On the new update finally. I noticed that the thumb wheel horizontal scroll behaves so irradically now. A little tiny scroll makes it scroll too hard/fast/far. I'm on an MX Master 3 mouse (Logitech; the non-high DPI/non-quiet click version, so in other words, NOT the 3S, just the one before it), so I use the horizontal scroll religiously since I'm on a Mac Pro desktop (in other words, I don't use a trackpad). I've made sure Logi Options is updated. I've also tinkered with Mouse Scroll strength/speed and the only way I can get Logic to act as it has before is to literally set the horizontal mouse scroll setting to its bare minimum, which is SOOOOOPER slow in other apps. Anyone else? Is there an option I'm missing? Thank you! horizontal scroll issue.mp4
