At the end of my first work day, I had done nothing but practice how I was going to execute the process. The first day of the project, I spent about 4 hours memorizing all of the shortcuts and building automation to perform repetitive tasks for me. And so I decided I needed to rewrite the process rather than stress about the timeline It was more material than I had ever needed to complete, in a faster time than I had ever needed to complete anything. My true love affair with keyboard shortcuts started when I got my first large-scale engraving job for an online music education site. My second one was better, but because of my lack of knowledge of shortcuts, I considered quiting because everything was so time consuming. My first engraving job took me so long to complete I almost got fired. One of my many jobs is doing music engraving. My prescription for efficiency has always been, “Master the process now, and make up the time later”.Ī brief story before we get into our zooming keyboard shortcuts. Now if you edit 50 midi notes across your project, you have added an addition 3 minutes and 20 seconds of time to your editing, that had absolutely nothing to do with your editing. If each zoom takes 4 seconds, then every time you need to edit a note, you have added on an additional 12 seconds of time to your note editing. Every single time you need to find the next note you want to edit it you need to… Think about this, you are working on editing a keyboard track. When working with programs like Ableton, keyboard shortcuts cut down your work time immensely.

It’s actually what inspired me to write this whole post on how to zoom in Ableton.

I collect them like absolute treasures, and you should too. Those of you that know me, know that there are few things in the computer world I love more than good keyboard shortcuts.
