Key-Command for dropping automation point?
Hi folks,
Is there a key-command for dropping an automation point??? (Using PT 7.2 Mac OS) Here's why: editing and mixing 'in the box' with a mouse and always zooming in to the frame that the I-Beam/cursor is on in a specific track so I can see close enough to click the mouse to drop an automation point there. It would be much more efficient if there was a keystroke to just DROP a point wherever your cursor is. I use markers a lot for scene splits, etc. and would love to just be able to drop a point and move on, so I can make my volume adjusts/automation adjusts quicker. Thanks. |

"Command(apple) / "is also great for flattening out an area of break points.
Let's say you have a region with random breakpoints all over the place, highlight it and hit the key comb, voila you end up with 2 points at the start and end of region. |

And Command-Shift / used to be Trim enabled parameter until Apple stole it for enabling Help.
You could make a selection, move the fader or parameter and then press Command-Shift / and it would add or subtract the amount you added instead of writing the current position like Command /. Of course it's still available in the menu but we lost the shortcut. |

Re: Key-Command for dropping automation point?
Is this a HD or should I say TDM only shortcut?
It doesnt seem to work on my native 002R 7.4 LE rig. I want a key command to flatten a selection with many to two break points. The / key is the one with the ? mark right? next to the right hand shift key correct? Thanks |

Just wanted to say thanks from roughly 14 years into the future, been working with PT for nearly 10 years and I've always kind of wondered if such shortcut exists but never really bothered to look it up. You've made my day.
