Keyboard MaestroĪfter some searching I decided on Keyboard Maestro for creating my custom shortcuts for my Mac. The distances across such a large display exacerbated the problem with excessive mouse movement and clicking even further. For me it was painful before, but since I recently switched to a huge 38” curved display I’d probably go mad without custom keyboard shortcuts. If you are regularly working in “mouse-only" parts of your DAW software (or any other software) you have probably lost hours of precious time just clicking around. Maybe I’m a bit of a nerd when it comes to this, but I think almost everything in well designed software should be controllable by keyboard. Instead, what always bugs me is when you come across a part of your familiar software where the manufacturer has not provided any useful keyboard shortcuts. Of course different software will always have different keyboard shortcuts, there’s no easy solution for that. Working with unfamiliar software is possible, but feels clumsy and slow when you are just using your mouse. We all rely on keyboard shortcuts to speed up our workflow and get our work done on time. Nowadays all DAWs basically work the same, but a great deal of why trying out a new DAW software often feels so alien and weird is because you don’t have your familiar keyboard shortcuts available. It’s Not Just About Speed It’s About Workflow In this second article from guest contributor Chris Schmid, we show how to create custom macro and shortcuts for the Pro Tools Beat Detective using Keyboard Maestro.
