Atmos/Ambience beds and Region Looping

Atmos/Ambience beds and Region Looping

The only shortcuts I used in the above video were fairly straight forward editing ones:

Region Loop = Option/alt + Command/Start + L
Using the trim tool at the bottom edge of a looped region to edit the selected content

Here is an excerpt of a short cut list I assembled for guys doing quick turnaround/churn and burn editing:

Grabber modifiers
Snap region “Head” to Cursor location Ctrl/Win + Grab
Snap region “Tail” to Cursor location Ctrl/Win + Command/Ctrl + Grab
Snap region Sync point to Cursor location Ctrl/Win + Shift + Grab
Insert Sync point Command/Win + Comma (,)
Copy region to Cursor Location As above + Option/Alt

Trims (with keyboard focus enabled)
Top trim to cursor location A
Tail trim to cursor location S
Top and tail (Trim to Selection) Command/Win + T

Fades
Fade from beginning of region to cursor location D
Fade from end of region to cursor location G
Create crossfade across selection without popup Ctrl/Win + Command/Ctrl + F

Nudging
Nudge left/right + or – on numeric keys
Nudge left/right , or . (in CF mode)
Nudge left/right by next higher nudge value M or / (in CF mode)
Nudge content of region left or right Ctrl/Win and +/- on numeric keys
Shift Selection Opt/Alt + H

Navigation
Go to and select next region Ctrl/Win + TAB
Go to and select previous region Ctrl/Win + Opt/Ctrl + TAB
Enter main counter * on numeric keys (in CF mode)
Enter Start/End/Length counters / on numeric keys (in CF mode)

Multiples
