Shift + F4 = close all plugin windows (useful if you use "always on top" option) ctrl + shift + f = find selected in pool (it is useful for quick change of file's tempo, stretch algorithm, finding its location, etc) ctrl + ` = pre-count on / offĪlt + shift + x = split loop (cut selection at locators) alt + m is possible shortcut, but recently I use just X alt + shift + r = render in place (current settings) Mute/unmute object will work like a toggle. Cancel: Audio > Dissolve Partīy default there is shift + m button but it seems not working. Shift + f = zoom to project, horizontal (default)Īlt + shift + v = events to part (great for duplicating clip every N bars or make it have certain length). shift + d = zoom to event (custom, shift + e - default) ctrl + space = Transport - play from selection startīy default it's "Invert" however does nothing. ⭐ Very convenient, deleting is very common and to move hand to the right side of the keyboard is tedious.

Works in Mixconsole only.Īlt + space = play selection or clip (it will stop at the end)Ĭtrl + shift + i = open in-place editor (I reassigned this to shift + e)Ĭtrl + w = close project, current window, pluginĬtrl + a, ctrl + shift + a = select all / unselectĬtrl + e = open (same as double click, use to open multiple midi or audio clips)Ĭtrl + shift + g = previous track versionĬtrl + shift + d = duplicate track version Z = zoom track exclusive (I disable this because sometimes it conflicts with ctrl + z and wrecks horizontal zoom)Īlt + e = expand / reduce mixer racks (it should be in focus)Īlt + a = activate / deactivate whatever can be activated/deactivated when it's focusedĭon't understand how this is quicker than mouse click, it must be for MIDI controllers shift + q = auto grid 3 ctrl + shift + up / down = raise the volume of the focused channel(s) in 1dB steps. Shift + i = show / hide punch in / out separate window Shift + F2 = inline: view layout somehow it doesn't work in C10 alt + k = show/hide virtual keyboard (if enabled some shortcuts doesn't work) Shift + enter = set event name from track nameį4 = show input\output\bus selection, audio connections 1Īlt + c = stationary cursor / page scroll Right click menu also has hotkeys, D, R, B, N are my favorites.

It is better to overcome brain laziness and learn hotkeys from the very beginning, Cubase don't spam with UI elements and gets some hate from point-and-click lovers for that. If there is no something that you want, there is a big chance to create a macro, that consists of smaller tasks and is able to do what you need. Luckily Cubase is not one of them and you can set a hotkey for literally anything. We might take for granted the ability to modify shortcuts.
