    incredible cheat sheet, I feel like a better producer just having this in front of me while I work. Every time I feel like there's something I could be doing with a shortcut, I find it on the sheet and remember for next time. ctrl+shift+d is a lifesaver. I would love to see more workflow tutorials like macros, effects racks, sampling, layering

    Mind blown, holy shit.
