Pro Tools - Shortcut of the Week (2009.05.18)

Extend Selection to Next Region Boundary: Shift+Tab

This is perfect for grabbing a selection when you’ve either already trimmed the region boundaries, or if the boundaries are just close enough. I always play out the tracks I’ve recorded for the artist to listen to before I start a mix. This lets them catch any last minute issues before I devote a lot of time to a project. Since I always through down markers to tag the starts of takes, this shortcut is an easy way to grab a whole take, quickly.
