Like many I’ve become a bit compulsive about clearing clips straight away and for all of us who don’t have an Icon surface this can be achieved using Option/Alt+C. Both the D Control and D Command have a bright red clear clips button. Both the D Control and D Command have a way of affecting your workflow and often I have been prompted to find ways of reproducing things which are very obvious on an Icon using just keyboard and mouse. I’ve been lucky enough to work a lot on Icon surfaces. The following shortcuts will affect any selected tracks.Ī favourite technique is to set up alternative processing on Insert slots A-E and F-J and use Shift+2 and Shift+3 to AB between them. I was really pleased to see these introduced as prior to PT11 the only way of bypassing all plugins on a track I had encountered was to use an Icon worksurface. These were a well publicised new feature when they were introduced in PT11, although they were covered by PTE at the time they are so useful they had to be mentioned here. The “Shift + something” shortcuts for bypassing plug-ins transport, automation, memory locations etc.). By using CMD+Option you can close all plugin windows but leave all other floating windows visible (e.g. This is reversible and if you want your floating windows back just repeat the keystroke. Close all floating windowsĬMD+Opt+Cntrl+W or Cntrl+Alt+Start+W is useful if you have a cluttered screen. Adding shift will cascade only on selected tracks. To extend this set of commands even further you can add CMD+Option/Cntrl+Alt to cascade inputs or outputs upwards, following the order in the current IO settings. This can be very useful, but far more useful in my opinion is the use of Option/Alt+Shift to set inputs/outputs of selected tracks. This is quite a big subject but the action I will concentrate on here is the use of Option to set inputs or outputs across all tracks in a session (except master faders). Option/Alt clicking in Pro Tools is endlessly useful, either offering a “do to all” (input output assignment), a “set to default”(fader to 0dB or pan to centre) a “do the opposite” (trim or zoom tools) or a “make a copy” action (copying clips or sends). Some of these are very well known but still worth listing for the benefit of the less experienced user. Basic operation of the mix window is largely intuitive but I still think there are a few valuable timesavers worthy of a mention. After writing Pro Tools Session Navigation In Five Shortcuts I wondered whether there could be an equivalent list written for the Mix window.
