To be created:

  • For comping from multiple takes, I have some custom key-assignments that speed up my workflow. I use "4" to colour selected take green, "5" to colour it red. So, say if I have 10 takes, I'll slice them line by line, or syllable by syllable, then colour the "possible contenders" green. From there I narrow it down. I use "r" key for previous take and "t" key for next take. I have "1" set to go to start of loop. In this way I can comp vocals super fast without looking at the keyboard, as my left hand has all the relevent keys within reach. I also use "v" for reduce current take volume by 1db, and "b" to increase current take by 1 dB, for evening out levels quickly without automation.
  • custom action: Transport: Stop... Go to beginning of loop... Delete active take... Transport: Record. So if I'm recording myself, I can use just one key to immediately start the take again from the top, without dropping he guitar to use the mouse and multiple keystrokes.
  • Midi: delete all events to the right of the currently selected one

Tips

  • there is an action "Misc: pass through key to main window" which can be a useful utility for creating multistep custom actions.
    • ex. "record when midi window open" can be crafted by sending a record command that can be sent to the main window
