When you pull up your mix window you might be looking at track 1 when you need to be at track 60. This is super helpful when you want to automate something on a specific track. If you need to copy over any and all automation without copying the clips themselves use the following:Ĭontrol + Command + C – copies ALL automation settingsĬontrol + Command + V – pastes ALL automation settingsĬontrol + Shift + Click on a track in the edit window scrolls mix window so that selected track is first track in view and simultaneously makes this the top appearing track in your edit window as well. Do this by zooming into your desired zoom distance using the R and T keys then hold command and click one of the numbers circled in red below. Stop abusing your R and T keys! Zoom memory allows you to save a zoom to a corresponding number on your keyboard. The only time I use the delete key over X is when I have something queued up that I’m planning on pasting, as the X key will effectively cut the selected clip and overwrite whatever is in your pasting queue. If you are using the delete key still, stop! Using the delete key means you’re constantly lifting your left hand from its ideal shortcut positioning on the keyboard.

However, I use it more frequently as a delete function. This gets its own section because of how important it is that you utilize this. Option + A – zooms horizontally to show all clips X Shift + Option + Mouse Wheel – increases and decreases waveform size.Ĭommand + T – deletes a clip except for highlighted selection Shift + Spacebar - plays back the session at half speed Tilde (~) - cycles through slip, grid, shuffle, spot modes. This can be really helpful when you need to get granule with slip mode but just for a moment. Holding the command key while editing changes into slip mode from grid and vice versa. I will be using Mac terminology from here on out, but here is a quick refresher on Mac to Windows keyboard translations.Ĭontrol (Mac) = Start (Windows) Common Shortcutsįirst let’s make sure you have these common commands memorized.
