Shortcuts

Add bounces without leaving Pro Tools, change the global shortcuts to suit you, and find every shortcut inside the window.

In short

  1. From Pro Tools

    Stay in Pro Tools and add bounces from there: ⌃⌘X Mix, ⌃⌘S Solo, ⌃⌘M Mute, ⌃⌘B Batch, ⌃⌘C Clips, and ⌃⌘L adds the session.

  2. Make them yours

    Open Settings › Shortcuts, click a shortcut and press the new keys. Restore defaults puts them all back.

  3. In the window

    In Fast Bounce, ⌘1–⌘9 switch sessions, ⌘E edits, ⌘D duplicates, and ⌘C and ⌘V copy and paste Setup.

There are two kinds. Global shortcuts work anywhere, even with Pro Tools in front, so you can select tracks and add a bounce without switching apps. The rest work when the Fast Bounce window is active.

Change a shortcut

Settings › Shortcuts lists the global shortcuts in two groups: Add bounce (Mix, Solo, Mute, Batch, Clips) and Sessions (Add open session). Click one, press the new keys, and you're done. Restore defaults puts them all back.
