ive wasted hundreds of hours not making music while making music. finding out these shortcuts took me months. At the end I show how to make it 304% easier to learn them
Space for playback only starts where the playhead is within arrangement view.
Editing Midi or audio can be quite a pain because of the need to click in the arrangement every time
Use CTRL SPACE instead to Play from the playhead within the midi or audio clip,
taking away the need to click within the arrangement at all.
using ctrl space with a selection instead of just one spot with the playhead is
will play the selection once then stop
Quite similar is shift space. Which lets you play from where you stopped. The Home Button moves the insert marker to the beginning. Double clicking on most knobs and sliders will reset them to default or hit delete typing in the search bar will search within the folder you are clicked on. Instead Hit CTRL F to search all folders. Ctrl Shift w Toggles a Second window. If you didn’t know this you gotta start using this if you want to be as efficient as possible with a second monitor and if you aren’t using one use some old crappy monitor it really helps with the viewing room.
Left Click the like and subscribe
Zero Deactivates or mutes whatever is selected. Great when you want to only mute a small part of a track but keep the rest playing. CTRL L to loop the selected area. Hit again to toggle looping off. CTRL D duplicate or CTRL Left click and drag instead of click, drag, move, duplicate use CTRL SHIFT D to duplicate the selected time across all tracks. This is great because it not only duplicates but also inserts itself creating space. If you are like me and only use arrangement view I encourage you to use tab to get to session view for the Returns. Itll save you time versus using a manual send track or grouped tracks for effects. SHIFT + Tab Toggles the Device and Clip View
Most of the time you may use Ctrl u to quantize but for better control use Ctrl Shift u
This lets you edit the time grid it will snap to and the quantize percent being able to edit the percent quantized is very important to get the off beat feel so you get a feeling from the instrument but also gives a bit more help sticking on time for when you suck at playing
When renaming items use tab to move to the next one
CTRL-ALT-F - Creates a Fade or Crossfade. Keep in mind when crossfading it will always push the second clip to the right if the selection includes the second clip.
CTRL T inserts an audio track and
CTRL SHIFT T inserts a MIDI track
CTRL SHIFT M inserts a MIDI Clip
CTRL 3 toggles a triplet grid which is very nice for make some more unique drums
Ctrl and numbers is all about the grid CTRL 1 narrows and 2 widens grid. CTRL 4 snaps to grid
and these are also somewhat useful to know Ctrl 1-9
In Session View You can duplicate only the playing clips and put them on a new row below
