any tips on remembering shortcuts?

danczer · #1 (**permalink**) 17th February 2009 , 12:49 PM

Im pretty new to Cubase but i have mastered all of the features. The only problem im having is that i cant remember the keyboard shortcuts and when im mixing its so much easier to use these! Does anyone have any advice on how to remember these?

Print 'em out and stick 'em on the side of your screen, not all of them but the ones you use most. Then once you don't need to look at them anymore put the next load up until eventually you've cracked them all.

regular use will get you their better than anything else. [I think there's a theory that you have to do something 9 times to stick it in short term memory and to continue over a medium to long period to move it to long term.]

Yes, that sounds about right, Trev...but with age it might get to 99!

Recite them like the times table at school.

How about something more subliminal? Record yourself saying them and when you go to sleep play the recording back through your headphones or loudspeakers...hell...the whole neighbourhood could even learn tem shortcuts!!

I have used editorskeys since reading this post, not the stickers but the silicone cover things and its actually amazing! well worth about 30 quid. and when im not editing i can just take the cover off.
