Two ways to open the Mixer without your mouse: hit X for a paned mixer beneath the Arrange area or ⌘+2 to open it in new window.

Remember that the Mixer is just a simple way of displaying all the MIDI Environment objects--there's a whole world to discover in there.


Remixing full songs? Use the Invert/Mono trick in Audacity to remove bass (which is almost always centered), then import the file into Logic


Use a program like @MixedInKey to analyze an acapella's key. Then change the song key in Logic's Control Bar to that for easy reference.


Beatmakers: if you manually tap in your percussion with MIDI keyboards, Quantize the tracks area to 1/16 (in the Inspector) before recording
