⚡ Lightning Fast Navigation
In Arrangement View, press H to optimize the height of all tracks, and W to fit the whole project to your screen width. It saves 1000 scrolls a day.
🥁 Realistic Hi-Hats (Choke Groups)
To make an open hat stop playing when a closed hat hits: Go to the Drum Rack's Chain List, click the 'I/O' button, and set both hats to the same Choke Group (e.g., Group 1).
🌊 The Resampling Trick
Create a new Audio Track, set 'Audio From' to Resampling. Arm the track and record while you tweak filters on your MIDI synths. Instant unique textures.
