Hey Guys,

I'm very new to Pro Tools although I have been on these forums for a while. I only use PT on a part time basis and have recently done an official PT curriculum course and would like to sit the exam.

Upon recommendation I purchased a PT keyboard with all the shortcuts on it to get a grip of all the shortcuts quicker, but to be quite frank, I don't get it. It is colour coded etc, but there are shortcuts for Command + Key, Alt/option + Key, some are even multiple function keys + key but on the keyboard it doesn't actually show which key combinations go together. Why have the different colours if they aren't matched to an operator/function key. For example all the pink keys are the command + pink key shortcuts??

Sorry, probably to most stupid question ever. Because if there isn't a simple rule I'm getting a refund on this keyboard, it isn't worth the AUD$200 I paid for it.

Cheers

The colours regard the different colours of the CMD, ALT and CTRL keys. All the pink will be say CMD (or which ever one it is) etc
