Tips
- Never switch tools during rapid edits. Use
Sto split at playhead instead of toggling into Cut mode. Keyboard-driven splits are faster than tool-driven ones for one-off cuts. - Learn JKL. Shuttle-style playback is dramatically faster than mouse scrubbing for finding the right cut point.
- Use loop mode during fine work. Set IN and OUT around the beat you are tuning, toggle loop, iterate while the section plays on repeat.
- Nudge with Shift when you are in the ballpark. Pure arrow nudges are 100ms; that is too small for coarse moves.
Where to go next
