anytime you use a menu item wich displays a keyboard short cut...
insted of clicking the item you want use the key command insted
before long you'll know 'em all!!!!

this is one of the best tips of 'em all - i've been learning shortcuts slowly and noticed that it speeds up workflow a LOT, even after learning the few most important ones.

i should really read the manual thru even i don't usually do that

i have em written down permanently on a big board in my class room..
and for all i now this speeds up the workflow and makes my student more confident with the program..I think the psycological + side effect of it is that, u feel more pro and secure in the program enviroment too

slightly related - but - someone once mentioned Bome's Midi translator to me - i was bitching about having to hit F12 everytime i was in a clip view to get back to the FX view. (in 4 my midi track select commands always brought up FX chain for selected channel, in 5, it doesnt - must hit f12 or shift tab to bring it up.)

so i am using this Bome's thing (google it lazy ass! j/k) and it RULES!

it simply, and VERY simply, converts midi message to any keystroke!

i use the BCR to Play live, and ideally,(liek the idea of Live) never use the keybaord/ mouse.

now ive got BCR buttons (only a few, filtered in plogue Bidule http://www.plogue.com and sent through a midi Yoke port) triggering whatever keystrokes i want!

ive got my F12 finally! its so badass - i toggle between FX and clip view with one button, on my BCR!

I got so excited, and even set up CTRL-M, so i can remotely enter midi learn mode!

But really its great for F12 and Tab...but it doesnt sequences of keystrokes, from one command, so u could Save, etc...

cheers from US

So does that run in the background when you're in Live? Do you have to open it up before live or is it like a once installed it works kind of thing? Sounds like a very handy tip!

runs simultaneously as live.

its tiny, so uses little CPU.

Bome's is IT!
it has allowed me to do all the tiny things i wanted to, either cus i couldnt, or cus something changed from L4 to 5.

its like half at least of everything in "Feature Wishlist" can be done with this and/or plogue bidule....and Midi Yoke (windows).
