A1
track list
Quickly hides the track list in edit window for more screen real estate. Press
again to show it.
B1
clip list
Quickly hides the clip list in edit window for more screen real estate. Especially
helpful if your clip list is wide because you are showing the full file path.
C1
recall window
config 1
Each of these will only work if the corresponding Window Configuration has
been created. To create window configurations, use the “set window config”
shortcuts below these keys. Window configurations are incredibly useful. They
are used to create specific layouts of windows and clips in Pro Tools.
Example: If you have a track that has three plug-ins inserted on it, open up all
three plug-in windows (by Shift-clicking on them). Arrange them on the screen
so you can see all the controls. Press the “set window config 1” key. You can
name your window configuration or just hit Enter to use the default name. Now
whenever you need to tweak parameters across multiple plug-ins, just hit the
“recall window config 1’ key, and it will bring the plug-ins all back to the screen.
This is great for plug-in chains on the master bus where you are often trying to
get the set of plug-ins to interact how you want.
