Using Keyboard Shortcuts and Shortcut Menus
Soundtrack Pro offers several methods for performing commands. You can choose
commands from the menu bar at the top of the screen or from contextual shortcut menus,
or you can use keyboard shortcuts to perform many commands. Most people work fastest
using keyboard shortcuts; others prefer to use shortcut menus or the mouse to access
commands in the menu bar. Experiment to find out which method best suits your editing
style.
Using Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts let you perform commands in Soundtrack Pro by using the keyboard
instead of by pointing and clicking. These shortcuts can help you work more efficiently.
For example, to create a new audio file project, you’d press Command-Shift-N; to zoom
in, you’d press Command–Equal Sign (=).
Note: The default keyboard shortcuts for tasks are presented throughout this volume as
well as in menu commands and tooltips (tooltips appear when you move the pointer
over a control in Soundtrack Pro and show the name of the control, as well as the current
shortcut key or keys assigned to that control).
Using Shortcut Menus
Shortcut menus (also called contextual menus) are available in nearly every window or
pane and offer a quick way to perform various tasks. The commands available in a shortcut
menu depend on the location of the pointer. For example, a shortcut menu in the File
Editor shows options different from those available in a shortcut menu in the Timeline.
