We all know how to duplicate a region so it repeats after itself, but here is a way of getting it to repeat a region before itself.

Regions can be duplicated ahead of, as well as behind, the source region.

Command+Alt+Ctrl-click (PC: Ctrl+Start+Alt-click) on a meter in the Edit or Mix window to toggle between 'fat' and normal meters on all tracks.

This is great for large sessions on two-screen systems where you have the Edit window on one screen and the Mix window on the other. This also works the other way, so Ctrl-clicking on a track name in the Mix window will put the selected track at the top of the Edit window (or as high as possible). Similarly, holding down Ctrl+Alt (PC: Start+Alt) and using the '+' or '' keys will adjust the grid size up or down.Īnother handy navigation shortcut is to Ctrl-click (PC: Start-click) on any track in the Edit window, which will force the Mix window to scroll along so that that track appears as first visible track on the far left of the Mix window (or as far left as possible).

To adjust the nudge size, hold down Command+Option (PC: Ctrl+Alt) and use the '+' or '' keys on the numeric keypad to adjust the nudge size up or down. You can also adjust the nudge and grid values from the keyboard.

Adding the Option key into this shortcut does it to all tracks - on the PC, you can use Start+Alt plus the up or down arrow keys. To make the selected track larger or smaller you can use Ctrl plus the up or down arrow keys (this seems to be a Mac-only shortcut). Using Option+Page Down (PC: Alt+Page Down) will scroll the Edit or Mix window one 'screen' to the right, while Option+Page Up will scroll the Edit or Mix window one 'screen' to the left. Here's a handy shortcut which allows you to navigate quickly without having to dive down to the bottom of the Edit window to click on the scroll bars. Clicking on the meters with all three modifiers held switches them to 'fat' mode. These shortcuts work on both the Mix Window and the I/O section of the Edit window. On the Mac, adding the Option key to any of the above will make the change to all tracks.

Ctrl+Command-click on the mute button changes display to mute automation.

Ctrl+Command-click on the text 'pan' changes display to pan automation.

Ctrl+Command-click on the text 'vol' in the I/O view changes display to volume automation.

Ctrl+Command-click on the track name changes display to waveform.

To access graphical automation data more easily, you can use Ctrl+Command-click (PC: Ctrl+Start-click) in the Edit or Mix window to change the display as follows: On the Mac, you can use Option+'/', which is really nice, as there is a '/' key above the right-hand Option key on most keyboards. To add breakpoints (or anchors) in any graphical automation you can click with with the Grabber tool, but there are alternatives. This works with the Trim tool in TC/E mode, too, thus enabling you to precisely fill or stretch to fit a gap. Have you ever wanted to trim out a region precisely to a preceding one? Well you can: by holding down the Ctrl (PC: Start) key whilst trimming, Pro Tools will stop at the preceding region's edge. That's it! Now you are ready to edit the automation graphically.

To switch that track to display automation data for a given parameter, Ctrl+Command-click ( Ctrl+Start-click) on the plug-in parameter.

To turn automation on, Ctrl+Option+Command-click (PC: Ctrl+Start+Alt-click) on the plug-in parameter.

It turns automation on for your chosen plug-in parameter and switches to the automation data display on the track in two very quick and easy steps. I am sure many of us automate plug-in settings by clicking on the Auto button in the plug-in window, selecting the parameter, adding it to the list and clicking OK, then selecting the correct parameter on the audio track, missing it in the list by mistake and having to try again! For us, there is a really useful shortcut.

Most of these are available on both Mac and Windows versions of Pro Tools, but some aren't documented at all, so they might be new to many readers.

Following our look at the Keyboard Focus, I think it's time to introduce some of the more obscure shortcuts. It's another keyboard shortcut-fest this month in our regular guide to getting more from Pro Tools. And if there's no shortcut for the command you need, why not create your own? You'd be surprised at the things you can do without opening a menu in Pro Tools. Clicking on a plug-in parameter with the Ctrl Command keys held enables automation for that parameter.
