Here is another batch of keyboard shortcuts, following on from part , part 2 & part 3.
Auto and Input monitoring
Perhaps more useful for LE users as TDM users now have a seperate Input Monitor button on each track. Alt+K will toggle between Input Only and Auto Input modes.
Creating New Tracks
When you create a new track use Shift+Command+N and the New Track window will open. Then you can use the Command+Left or Right Arrow to choose Stereo, Mono etc, and Command+Up or Down Arrow keys to select from Audio, Aux, Master or Midi tracks. Finally use Command+Alt+Up or Down Arrow keys to select Samples or Ticks.
Using the Trim Tool to fill
Have you ever wanted to trim out a region precisely to a preceding one. Well you can by holding down the Control key and trimming Pro Tools will stop at the preceding region’s edge. This works with the Trim tool in TC/E mode too so enabling you to precisely fill or stretch to fit. Neat or what!

Seven radio producers – all based in the north of England – have joined forces to launch a new co-operative venture – ‘Radio Wizards’. It’s equally remarkable that their aim now is to work together on every kind of sound production... except radio!
"It’s taken over a year to get to this point," says ‘wizard’ Mike Thornton, "but now we’ve got a viable business plan, we’ve launched our website and we’re already starting to attract commissions. As a facilities provider we decided to facilitate this partnership and set them up with a web site to help kickstart this excellent partnership."
