13 Keyboard Shortcuts Video Lecture | Tracktion 5 Tutorial: Master Music Editing - Video & Sound Editing

in this video I want to talk to you
about modifying keyboard shortcuts now
in previous videos I showed you how to
change the default mappings and you do
that under settings keyboard shortcuts
and you can reset the defaults you can
load Ableton Live Cubase or the
alternative traction key mappings which
I've been using for this video series
now in addition to that we can reprogram
anything that's already here there's a
wide variety of commands that you can
work with reprogram and really just
match your style now not only can you
change them but you can have multiple
things on a single key so for example on
record here sometimes I like to have the
ass Turkey on the keypad also enabled
for recording so then you just go over
here to the right and hit plus and then
type in the command it says new key
mapping please press a key combination
so it can hit the ass Turkey and you can
see there is the numpad ass Turkey and
since it's not mapped to anything yet I
can go ahead and use that now you can
see I can enable recording using our or
the numpad ass Turkey now let me go down
to edit there is a new duplicate
function that came in version 5 and if
we want to assign that to something
which I use the D key to sit plus and
then hit d and we can assign it now I'm
going to go and try to assign it to
command D so to do that I can change it
so just click on it you can change the
key mapping will try command D that's
also available shift D let's try setting
it to f2 now f2 is already assigned to
something so it says it's currently
assigned if I say ok then i could go
ahead and change that and it would
change the keyboard assignment unassign
it to the thing that's assigned to and
then assign it to this command so we'll
leave that set up that way now another
thing I've decided to change here is
show or hide the control section I have
that set to f/11 which works fine but I
want to set it to P to show or hide the
controls panel so just going to click on
it I'll change
key mapping and put in P and that works
just fine and then I'll change showing
hiding the inputs filters and controls
that's set to shift 11 i'm going to
change that to f/11
I've got my customized settings I can
give them a try so if i go here and hit
p you can see it opens and closes that
if i go here and hit d you can see I can
duplicate clips with that works really
well if you want to show and hide all of
the panels I've now got that set to f11
and these are just examples you can set
your keyboard shortcuts up any way that
you want and that's kind of how that
works and once you've got them set up
the way you like then you can save that
which is really a good idea because if
you change computers or something you
want to reload them so we could do save
key mappings and then in the traction
folder that I've set up before I've
created a trak keese folder to store
these I've got separate versions for
when windows and for Mac but regardless
you can come up with a way to identify
these and I'll go to Mac and see I've
changed these many many times so I've
come up with my own way of identifying
which ones which this is my 20th version
of the keyboard shortcuts so I'll go
ahead and save that and then at any
point I can reload that so if i clear
all the mappings which i can do here
i'll just overwrite them then i can go
right back reload that
and I've got my custom mapping right
back so that's how you save and load
custom mappings how you make changes to
the mappings and it's a very powerful
feature you're going to really want to
take a look at what all mappings are
available here if you want to print out
your current mappings you can hit view
as HTML and you'll get a view like this
that shows all of the current mappings
as they're laid out at that point so
that's working with and modifying
keyboard shortcuts in traction thanks
