100+ Ableton Live Shortcuts

I rapid fire through a bunch of different Ableton Live keyboard and mouse shortcuts. I'm using Mac lingo but you can easily apply it to Windows as well.
Full list of shortcuts: www.ableton.com/en/manual/liv...

What's your favourite shortcut?

[@davidwoods1337]

definitely the 0 key to disable various things. I used Ableton for a couple of years before someone told me that and it blew my mind

[@akibakemono]

Cmd+F is incredibly useful, but toggling division changes with Cmd+1, Cmd+2, and especially toggling triplets with Cmd+3 are going to get used all the time. Also, W for zooming to fit horizontally is awesome, as long as the Computer MIDI Keyboard option isn't on.

f10

[@surveil3548]

When I'm uninspired? Alt+f4

[@DK-qe6uo]

Command Q

Awsome video! I loved to hear about the automation shortcuts I feel like it really demonstrates what they had in mind for design choices when it comes to automation, making as customizable and malleable as possible!

[@marekstora]

I probably will go back to this every week. All of these are useful but I think I like Z/X and H/W shortcuts the most. As well as SHIFT or CTRL + mousewheel for efficient arrangement view navigation.

[@starseedhealingcircle]

[@youniquesound]

[@azulaooo]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO

[@dpsti19]

Sensasional!

[@jspiro]

This was tremendous. Exactly what I needed. A few of the selection shortcuts don't seem to work in 11 though.
The three shortcuts I was hoping to learn, coming from Logic:
1) Go back to beginning of song/play selected region (e.g. equivalent to logic region, not a selected range)
2) Arrow keys move the cursor around in arrangement, shift-arrow selects, but how to deselect so you can go back go moving around? If I move my selection over a clip it slices it up!
3) How to move from note to note in midi-not move the notes, but advance to next note without the mouse.
Generally, Ableton seems more mouse-oriented than I was hoping, but maybe I just need to customize more!

[@joelbatolucas]

dude's a king of shortcuts

[@lamba8921]

THANK YOU!

[@gorka.zolotaya]

[@hankhomaomes2830]

really helpful ... liked and subscribed..... please make a video tutorial soon on how to organize plugins in Ableton 10 and categorize them such as Waves plugins long lists.... it's too hard to remember all of them.

[@MatthieuVlogs]

the shift control/command c thing is insane 🤩

[@AhrenPatritti]

thanks for this

[@TropicIslandMusic]

Good vid 👍🏼

[@SMCHVeganWorld7777]

1:14 shift space = play where last stop
1:20 select + alt space = play selected and stop
3:38 CTL+ drag= drag smoothly
3:57 changing loop marker with keyboard
4:00 left/ right arrow = move loop marker
4:03 CTL left/right = increase loop marker size
4:06 CTL up/down = double/half loop marker size

[@Hiddenfourth]

Thank you

[@Unifono2012]

[@tidxrl2531]

[@cXrisp]

CTRL + ALT + Click and drag -- makes grab-hand pan around your session or arrangement view.
