shortcut keys for ableton daw

Post by testa »

hello friends

i have just found the beauty of short cutting keys for ableton. many are so simple to use in fast working.

some i have got are these ones today
First, hold down these modifier keys:
PC: Ctrl-Alt
MAC: Option-Command (aka Option-Apple)

And then, one at a time, tap each of these keys: L.I.M.B.O.
L Looks at the editor/devices view
I Input/Output routing panel
M Mixer hide/show
B Browser hide/show
O Overview display for the arrangement
very good these ones for me. now it is your turn to say wich ones you are using often? which ones are techno hehehe. hope you like these ones everyone

nice one!

also alt + left / alt + right / alt + up / alt + down also useful for navigating between views (device, browser, scenes etc)

infact on my macbook which i use for djing i use a free program called midiStroke to convert midi messages to keystrokes - this way i can mouselessly pick tracks from the browser and copy them into my session view :) (i have 8 keys on my apc40 that are dedicated to this task)

I've recently started to force myself to use short cuts as I'm gerally lazy and use the mouse for everything. It's so much quicker once you learn the shortcuts. And stop from getting repetitive cramp in your hand lol

i got through stages of learning shortcuts but it's usually directly followed by a stage of forgetting them all.

there are some good ones here tho that i'll try to remember.
