  • Fab Dupont demonstrates the most useful shortcuts and key commands in Pro Tools.
    In our quick tips video, he will help if you are still slaving around with a mouse while trying to make music. Pro Tools shortcuts mac and PC will improve your workflow.
    Watch this video for Fab's top, most best-est and life changing shortcuts and workflow suggestions to turn Slow Tools back into ProTools. From: www.puremix.com
    Throughout the video, Windows users should pull a Jedi mind trick and hear:
    [alt] instead of [option]
    [control] instead of [command]
    [start] instead of [control]
    These are wonderful times.

    CMD + T to trim around the clip you've selected. CMD +U for strip silence. Option+0 for quantize. The video was awesome by the way just a few short cuts I use sometimes that I thought I'd share for who ever reads this.

    Fab talked about getting frustrated from losing a selection. (COMMAND + OPTION+Z) restores your last selection. In a beat detective workflow, I also use (SHIFT+/) which toggles the link timeline and edit selection so that you can maintain your precise selection while listening to different parts of it. These are VERY useful to me when I am editing drums.

    Another shortcut that it´s really good: For alternating WAVE view and PLAY LISTS view: CONTROL+WINDOWS+ALT+ Left/right arrows. I think this shortcut is one of the TOP 5 for heavy Pro Tools users.

    Shift + > for fast forward and < for rewind is cool, i use it all the time. Cmd + 1 for zoom is nice as well, always leave it on "single zoom". Just zoom out and back in with this shortcut. Great for very large sessions.
    Also, you can use shift with the P and ; to select a group of channels to mute or solo them for eg.

    I like how if you are in GRID mode, you can change the grid value by using control+command and the +/- keys on the numeric key pad.
    Thanks for posting the copy faders to sends, I always forget that one.

    thanks for the vid.. just started with PT and with this video my life is so easy after writing down the shortcuts. im using the boom for the drums and i guess is not possible to take all pattern notes and copy them into PTs secuencer? 16 steps is a little short for me. thanks 10000!

    On the first row of sends, click with right button of you mouse and select which send you wanna see as a fader.. For example (Send A). Then get it back to "basic view" by selecting "assignments"! :)
    "Copying to Sends" is copying you're current volume fader position to particular send selected by menu..
    Try it! :) ..and greetings from Finland! /Henrik
