100+ Ableton Live Shortcuts

I rapid fire through a bunch of different Ableton Live keyboard and mouse shortcuts. I'm using Mac lingo but you can easily apply it to Windows as well.
Full list of shortcuts: www.ableton.com/en/manual/liv...

What's your favourite shortcut?

[@davidwoods1337]

definitely the 0 key to disable various things. I used Ableton for a couple of years before someone told me that and it blew my mind

[@akibakemono]

Cmd+F is incredibly useful, but toggling division changes with Cmd+1, Cmd+2, and especially toggling triplets with Cmd+3 are going to get used all the time. Also, W for zooming to fit horizontally is awesome, as long as the Computer MIDI Keyboard option isn't on.

f10

[@surveil3548]

When I'm uninspired? Alt+f4

[@DK-qe6uo]

Command Q

[@MartianMoon]

Me, literally the entire time: Whaaaaaattttttttt

Beautifully done. No nonsense. Straight to the point. Thank you!

[@shinecurious]

And yes, these high density, no fillers straight to the essence lessons are very welcomed, bits of knowledge are scattered everywhere on UA-cam, but YOUR experience shows in YOUR flow, that is most def niche here on UA-cam, so yes please more of YOUR flowness, cheers from Germany!

[@shinecurious]

WTF! It took me a year to gather all these moves, you know creativity is liberated when you fly through your DAW, Props to the good work ninja!

Awsome video! I loved to hear about the automation shortcuts I feel like it really demonstrates what they had in mind for design choices when it comes to automation, making as customizable and malleable as possible!

[@motelsurgeon5155]

OPT+Drag automation curves. That and the click+drag time audio time stretch. I lost those when I stopped using Logic.
Thank you!!

[@marekstora]

I probably will go back to this every week. All of these are useful but I think I like Z/X and H/W shortcuts the most. As well as SHIFT or CTRL + mousewheel for efficient arrangement view navigation.

[@infideluxe]

So so so good. Thank you.

[@AERIEDM]

That's how you do a tutorial video. Thank you.

[@SMCHVeganWorld7777]

1:14 shift space = play where last stop
1:20 select + alt space = play selected and stop
3:38 CTL+ drag= drag smoothly
3:57 changing loop marker with keyboard
4:00 left/ right arrow = move loop marker
4:03 CTL left/right = increase loop marker size
4:06 CTL up/down = double/half loop marker size

[@delaripinkbeats7659]

dude thank u so much u just made my day )

[@azulaooo]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@jspiro]

This was tremendous. Exactly what I needed. A few of the selection shortcuts don't seem to work in 11 though.
The three shortcuts I was hoping to learn, coming from Logic:
1) Go back to beginning of song/play selected region (e.g. equivalent to logic region, not a selected range)
2) Arrow keys move the cursor around in arrangement, shift-arrow selects, but how to deselect so you can go back go moving around? If I move my selection over a clip it slices it up!
3) How to move from note to note in midi-not move the notes, but advance to next note without the mouse.
Generally, Ableton seems more mouse-oriented than I was hoping, but maybe I just need to customize more!

[@youniquesound]

Best by far :) thanks

[@gorka.zolotaya]

Thank you very much

[@lamba8921]

CTRL + ALT + Click and drag -- makes grab-hand pan around your session or arrangement view.

[@DjLamech]

Hey I appreciate you I paid a lot of money to learn what you just told me I don't know how to thank you thank you for not being condescending in your presentation

[@hankhomaomes2830]

really helpful ... liked and subscribed..... please make a video tutorial soon on how to organize plugins in Ableton 10 and categorize them such as Waves plugins long lists.... it's too hard to remember all of them.

[@tidxrl2531]

incredible

[@johninfl]

I saw a bright light and angels singing...Thanks much.

[@MELROSEE]

[@WoodyPianoShack]

awesome, if i can remember 10 then that's a win

[@swellow257]

I indeed liked mousing around this video!!

[@slothbeatstore]

[@shizit94]

legendary post

[@cliffwu9926]

you don't know how much time I saved just by watching this 13 minutes video
thanks dude

[@MisterExcelsior]

Shortcuts make the difference between walking through projects vs sprinting. Work smarter not harder! Prime Example!

[@TropicIslandMusic]

Good vid 👍🏼

[@futur_sunds]

12:14 “hope you learned something”
I learned like a hundred something’s.

[@Matteo-ey3qi]

what keyboard are you using? sounds nice :)

[@lesterburn1]

Thank you.

[@jensschettler1732]

Awesome video! But is there a option to just hear the selectet clip in the arrangement? Like it studio one you have a little speaker tool to play just the clip you click on.
