Hi,
  • Dec 05, 2019  Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing certain key combinations, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut.
  • It also does the same for the clip fade handles too. Hiding one will reveal the other which is one reason this shortcut had to be added. Having those fades right on the edge of the clip at the click of one key is awesome too! 2 - Split Clip at Selection – CTRL + E (Windows) CMD + E (Mac).
This might be over discussed but I can't find a solution anywhere. I am not able to make cross fades between audio clips in the arrangement views. THere are several audio clips on one audio track that I edited (cut + moved across) and now I want to make crossfades between them so that there aren't any pops and clips. Basically this is the most standard procedure of audio editing in any DAW. I've never used Ableton for it until now though, only have used it for live performance mainly in session view. So now I want to be abel to substitute the usual software I used (Pro Tools) with Live and am trying to have a finished mixed version and I can't find how to do this simplest crossfading. I select the end and beginning of the clips I want to crossfade and control click to see option, and nothing shows up. I click on the track and then try to look for fade or corssfade function from the automated parameters pulldown list and the only thing showing up is the Mixer. I choose the Mixer then another pulldown menu underneath shows up and the only thing seemingly suitable available there is the 'X-fade Assign' and I choose it and then I choose the draw mode and try to do draw the fades and it only gives me two point , A and B on the same volume line graphic and that's not really what I want. So in other words, WHERE AND HOW TO MAKE THE SIMPLEST CROSSFADE???
It would be absolutely ridiculous to having to export the audio clips and do the editing in another software, so is it really what I have to do?

Live 7, Mac G5

An easy way to speed up your workflow is to learn the best keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live, but where to begin?

We caught up with our trainers to find out which shortcuts they use the most and also the latest ones they’ve learned (20 in total) – so that you can get an idea of which keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live are really worth learning.

Thomas McAlister (Alba / Canyons)

The two keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live I use the most:

S (CTRLS on windows) which is a shortcut for the File menu option “Save Live Set As…”. I use this a lot because I’m obsessive about saving versions while I’m in the ideas generation stage of making a track – like version 1, then 1.1 and 1.2 etc. Maybe too much? The tune I’m working on today is on version 4.6!

Tab (shift-Tab) which toggles between clip view and device view. I use this especially when working with midi, as I’m constantly switching between the clip and the instrument itself. I use it so much that i find myself accidentally using it when I’m using Chrome or Finder or something, expecting my view to switch there too!

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

or (CTRLorCTRL↑on windows) – this doubles or halves the loop length of a clip. Much easier than hovering around to find the elusive bracket – or typing in the loop length value, which I’ve never got used to doing.

George Nicholas (Seekae / Cliques / Hensen)

The keyboard shortcut in Ableton Live I use the most:

The number 0 is looking pretty faded on my keyboard. I use it for activating/de-activating everything – clips, tracks, devices, midi notes, etc. It’s really good for trying out different melodies, arrangements, drum patterns without deleting what you have there already.

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

I only just started using the ⌘⌥R (CTRL⌥R on windows) shortcut which is for hiding the returns. Helps with screen real-estate.

Joel Farland (Miami Horror)

The two keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live I use the most:

The letter b, which toggles draw mode as I’m MIDI editing all the time.
That and also re-sizing the grid with 1, 2, 3 or 4 (if you’re on Windows use CTRL in place of) makes my workflow faster. Also I contantly use ⇧Tab which swaps between viewing the MIDI/clip editor and devices view in the bottom window – this makes it super quick to adjust effects (arpeggiators, compressors, other audio, effects, etc) whilst editing MIDI.

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

Aaron (from Miami Horror) showed me ⌘⇧DEL (CTRL⇧DEL on Windows) which deletes time – this makes editing arrangements super quick.

Anthony Garvin (Studios 301 / Ableton Certified Trainer)

Mac

The two keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live I use the most:

You can quickly and easily create custom assignments from your QWERTY keyboard to almost anything on the screen in Live using the KEY button on the top right (or use ⌘K to open KEY). One I use all the time is the letter P – I assign it to the Device On switch of plugins/effects using key mapping to do a/b tests (with-and-without – determining if it sounds better) a gazillion times per mix.

⇧S (CTRL⇧S for PC) to save new versions each session, or at each major change.

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

Adam showed me one I’m trying to memorise – which is the f10 key for Back To Arrangement. If I reach for the mouse but remember just in time, I give myself a biscuit.

Yama Indra (Gloves)

The two keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live I use the most:

⌘, for opening Live’s preferences – which works across most other software too (use CTRL Garageband guitar cable ipad 2. in place of ⌘ for windows).

⌘drag (CTRL-dragon Windows) for fine tuning of parameters, finely adjusting the position of clips in arrangement view and finely adjusting the timing of midi notes. I also use arrows to nudge MIDI notes a lot, or in finer increments using ← or ⌘(exchangeCTRLfor ⌘ on PC).

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

I work with lots of hardware at home, so using ⌥i (CTRLion Windows) is handy to open the the I/O section then hide it again when not required.

Adam Maggs (Ableton Certified Trainer)

The two keyboard shortcuts in Ableton Live I use the most:

This is not really just one key-combination but a workflow for searching, browsing and loading sounds that I use so much it happens in one fluid flow. It goes: ⌘For CTRL-F if you’re on windows (then type a search), arrows ↓ and(preview sounds), ENTER (load the sound to a track), then ⌘⌥Bwhich is CTRL⌥B on windows (hide the browser). The last one is because I always work on laptops so screen real estate is precious.

Another is the playback variations ofSpacebar (play), or spacebar (resume playing), or spacebar(play selection – which is great when micro-editing).

Ableton Fade Shortcut Mac To Windows 10

A keyboard shortcut that I only recently started using:

Since the release of Live 9 and Push I do a lot of automating in Session View – so clearing automation from a parameter by selecting it and using -delete (CTRL-delete on windows) is really quick and handy.
