Some people have to use many more - in particular people who work with others and have to match software with whoever they are receiving stuff from or sending stuff to.Įver seen a sign? You know, a mystical, woo-woo sign that's an omen or portent that your life choices so far have been poor and you need to change direction. I only use three shortcut-heavy softwares.
The number of times I hit the wrong key for zoom in Pro Tools and Final Cut Pro X tends towards infinity.Īnd I'm lucky. The problem is compounded when shortcuts are different in different softwares or, worse still, the same shortcuts have different functions. I am perfectly happy to say that the size of my brain is inadequate, inadequate even for two. Actually I don't need to use Logic Pro but I do like it for certain tasks.Ĭan my brain hold all of the keyboard shortcuts for three softwares? Absolutely not. I only need to use Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and Final Cut Pro X for video. The question might be knowing which shortcuts to learn but that is answered by taking note when you find yourself accessing the same menu item repeatedly, then look in the guide to see if there is a shortcut for that.īut too many shortcuts? Yes, if you need to use multiple softwares. OK no problem you say - just learn the shortcuts you need.
#LOGIC PRO X KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS PDF PDF#
I was going to count how many shortcuts there are in Pro Tools, but I gave up when I saw that Avid's PDF guide - only to the shortcuts mind, not the full manual - runs to 68 pages! The most obvious failing of shortcuts is that there are too darn many of them. Imagine having to take a trip up to the menu and back each time you wanted to save or print.īut there are limitations to what shortcuts can achieve and I write this as balance to the many blog posts and YouTube videos whose bloggers and vloggers worship keyboard shortcuts as though they are the new Greek and Roman gods. Maybe I should apologise for the clickbaity title, or maybe I've just been watching too much YouTube.Ĭlearly in any software, keyboard shortcuts can save a lot of time.
