Pro Tools Editing Shortcuts

[@OpiumZA]

The breakpoint same value as previous/next was a new one for me. What a life saver. Thanks

[@dancahill5127]

Glad I watched just for this function... GENIUS!

[@zhaojian]

Yeah. Same to me!

[@XkztyIpKtHrwmNxlKhPy]

Same, great tip.

[@RaviandeVries]

too bad this doesnt work with the multitool...

[@timbolandmusicandsound]

Absolutely fantastic and you are right, long time pro tools users such as myself, can pick up lots of amazing tips and shortcuts, this is the best channel on Pro Tools out there in IMHO. Thank you.

[@paulmaunder3007]

Thanks very much! It's good to know that people find these videos useful :)

[@bagigas7166]

Thank you! I always learn something new from your videos. Breakpoints and Repeat paste to fill are time savers for me :)

[@gokulv.k.2347]

There is always room to learn and you are one of the perfect source to learn from : ) Never Been Disappointed about your video!!!!!

[@dushaneholland333]

This is perfect,everything was crystal clear

[@thomasstahel1029]

Thanks Paul. Very useful video! I learnt new shortcuts. One shortcut I often use is "ctrl+click" to assign multiple outputs to a track. Cheers from Switzerland

[@paulmaunder3007]

Yes, the multiple output assignment shortcut is a good one too. Thanks!

[@spiritchasers9093]

Thanks for your video, it was very useful and to the point. Other people tend to not teach methods directly getting to the nuts and bolts of keys to use and how it effects tracks and or controls.

[@paulmaunder3007]

Thanks for watching

[@davelorentz7969]

Fantastic m8 as it doesn’t matter how many times you learn the myriad of Shortcuts you mostly only remember the ones you use all the time, now if only there was a Shortcut for “Yes I’ll have another Guinness thank-you!” ;-)

[@paulmaunder3007]

Haha. Maybe put that one forward as a suggestion to Avid!

[@keithrobichaux]

Hey Paul. Always glad to see your vids in my feeds. Thanks If you have an Icon console some vids on automation would be great.

[@paulmaunder3007]

keithrobichaux I have access to a D Control and an S6. I'll hopefully be making a control surface based video soon (focusing on automation).

[@keithrobichaux]

Great.

[@CarnageSAS]

This is a great tutorial!

[@paulmaunder3007]

Thank you!

[@bmcgoo6027]

This is great, thanks a bunch.

[@haydenlakemedia2982]

Thanks Paul!

[@phhadacek]

Hey Paul, thanks for this cool video! Learnt some few tricks. I was just wondering if there is way when you have been editing automation using this ctrl+command click shortcut to quickly reverse back to waveform view without browsing the menu?

[@paulmaunder3007]

phhadacek There's a really quick way to switch back to waveform view. With commands focus enabled just press the minus key at the top of the keyboard. Pressing this again will toggle between waveform and volume view.

[@phhadacek]

thanks, much appreciated

[@MrDrake3816]

How much u charge to mix, and edit?

You forgot output routing to successive outputs. Meaning, you have 24 busses, and want to output them in one keystroke. IF YOU HAVE 24 outputs set in the I/O, or inputs, MAC, command+option+shift changes the I/O in succession. Also, Command Shift will MULT an output. Say you need the same buss to goto multiple sources, click control+shift and select the other routing option and now the same source is going to 2 places. EXTREMELY handy when you need to make multiple versions in one pass.

[@paulmaunder3007]

Yes, they're useful ones too! The first one you described is known as cascading outputs. Very handy.

[@yoahkjett10]

Great Vid! Thanks.

[@justwang7339]

wave plugins don't have the automation function, I can't use start+ctrl to automate plugins, only the pan and volume for me, don't know why. help...

[@paulmaunder3007]

That's because you have to first auto enable a setting. There are multiple ways to do this: within the plug-in click on the control you want to automate while holding down Control, Option and Command (Start, Alt, Control on Windows). Choose 'Enable automation'. Alternatively, click on the plug-in automation enable button near the top of the plug-in (above the word 'safe'). Add parameters to automate there. Finally, if you prefer everything to be auto-enabled from the start, go into the Mixing Preferences of Pro Tools and choose 'plug-in controls default to auto enabled'. Once enabled, you can then view the automation lane by Control Command clicking (Start Control on windows) on the control in question to view its automation lane.

[@peysal4554]

More of this please

[@paulmaunder3007]

I've been putting together a new studio recently so I'll get back onto some more videos very soon!

[@peysal4554]

good luck with that

[@dangrimaldi2609]

Really Usefull, Thank You :)

[@paulmaunder3007]

No problem!

[@andrewkeys]

i have a question that i've been trying everywhere to find how to change a shortcut if one key on the keyboard is not working. is there such possibility?

[@paulmaunder3007]

There's no provision for remapping shortcuts in Pro Tools unfortunately.

[@Diegosaurio]

great video, do you know if is there is a shortcut to copy a plug in (with certain settings) to multiple tracks? instead of alt+clic+ drag the plug in to each of the numerous tracks.

[@paulmaunder3007]

There isn't, unfortunately. The only option which is similar is to that would be to save the settings as a plug-in preset then (in the settings menu within the plug-in) set it as a user default then (in setting preferences at the bottom of the same menu within the plug-in) set the plug-in default to User Setting. This would mean that any subsequent instantiations of that plug-in would be created with those settings as a default. You could select the tracks to which you want to add the plug-in and Option + Shift click on the insert to instantiate the plug-in. All of those tracks would then have the settings on the plug-in. I suppose this would only be quicker than Option dragging a plug-in if you really did have a LOT of tracks on which you wanted the same settings.

[@JimmyWestra]

strait forward

[@morrischau]

[@paulmaunder3007]

[@miguelmiriel3169]

some one know how do I change the type of fade that D and G make ?

[@paulmaunder3007]

Setup > Preferences > Editing. You will find the option to change the default fade type in the Fades section of these preferences.
