Select Tool - The Select Tool is a tool you'll use constantly. You can make a selection (using the Select Tool) and then use the Trim Tool to edit the automation in your selection. Another great use of the Trim Tool is when you're editing automation. I find it helpful when trying to extend or shorten a note. The Trim Tool can also be used with MIDI tracks. This is helpful when you have dead air at the beginning of a track or want to make big cuts in groups all at once. Trim Tool - The Trim Tool will allow you to trim audio from the top or tail of the audio region. If you double click this tool, the entire session will fit within the Edit window. It'll keep zooming each time you click, and if you'd like to zoom out, just hold Option + click. Zoom Tool - Pretty self explanatory, but the Zoom Tool zooms into wherever you click on the Edit window. It's beneficial to learn these tools so you can understand them, and get back to making music! Let's dive in.
Most tools have extra options if you click on them and hold, but I'm going to go over just the basics in this post. I want to go over the Pro Tools toolbar, so that people who are brand new to Pro Tools can jump right in and start editing audio right away. The tools I go over here can be found in many other programs, such as Logic, GarageBand, Ableton and more. I do a number of podcasts, and PT has become the standard program for me to record, edit and mix in. Pro Tools has helped me immensely when it comes to recording musical ideas, sending them to friends, collaborating, and lots more.
