Non Digidesign Protools Key Commands

macrae11 · 19th July 2007, 06:46 PM

Who is using they're mac keyboard shortcuts to create commands for PT that Digi never implemented. What are you favourites?
Here's a few of mine:

option + control + B = Bars:Beats mode
option + control + M = Minutes:Seconds mode

These two help me a ton as I work with quite a bit of music in post, so I can switch over to Bars:Beats and work in grid mode to edit some music, and then jump back to the main timeline Minutes:Seconds real quick.

Command + Shift + K = Add Key Change...
Command + Shift + D = Delete track
Control + Shift + A = Make track Active/Inactive

What are some other time savers you guys are using?

the only one i have is

cntl + option + cmnd +D = delete track

i think i'll do the make track active/inactive one. is there a problem with that feature with the fact that it changes what it says in the menu? it says which ever one you can do, make it active or inactive. do you have to make two seperate commands for it?

That's a built-in command for "Export Selected," which gets used quite a lot around here.

no you just have to make one command and it's smart enough to figure it out.

That's a good point. I actually knew that key command too. Stupid me. I'll have to change that one. However it does seem to be smart enough. If something is selected it exports but if nothing is selected it creates a key change.
