Simply drop your insertion point just before the desired hit and press tab. In transient-rich material such as drums, bass etc. The sensitivity of the transient detection isn’t tweakable but I’ve rarely had issues with it. When engaged, tab moves the insertion point to the next transient (i.e. This is the one which gets all the attention. For this reason I’m going to look at the functions of the tab key in what I think of as the “wrong” order. A while ago I was asked why you could switch tab to transients off? Why would you want to do that? This suggests that some people only know about tab to transients and are unaware of tab’s default behaviour. For me the really interesting thing about tab in Pro Tools is how many longtime users, some of them with really thorough knowledge of Pro Tools, only use tab for tab to transients. So, instant crowd pleaser which relies on a single keystroke? This sounds like a job for the tab key. Pointing out that when they use the spacebar to start playback they are using a shortcut is great fun but the most convincing argument for using shortcuts is to show them something which is immediately useful and only viable using the keyboard.
Anyone who already has a few shortcuts down will know how much faster it makes things but that not as compelling an argument as you might think when trying to get a reluctant student to try something new. Their reasoning is usually that they find it easier to stick with the mouse. I often have conversations with people who don’t use shortcuts. However, easy and useful often go together… The last few fundamentals articles have been high on content but probably a little dry (anyone up for some more latency? …Nobody?).
