Hi there.
Another noobie question please.
As I’m learning more and more, I’m beginning to see little things that I’d like to tweak here and there. I’ve searched for a couple of days on this one.
I like using the Smart Selection Tool. Great workflow. However, when I push the ‘Alt’ key, the tool changes to the draw (pencil) tool. Is there a way to change that behavior to the split (scissors) tool?
Thanks,
Tom
Use keys 1-9 too quickly change tools. Hit number one multiple times to change the pointier from time stretching to regular.
Yeah… I know how to do that… was just asking if there was a way to change the ‘alt’ behavior…
Thanks for responding!
Tom
Doesn’t it already work the way you requested? Hover over an event you get the cut tool, (granted this is not the scissors tool) outside the event you get the pencil tool.
I’m with you on this one. I’m disappointed at the lack of customisation options in Cubase and a lot of things don’t make sense. It seems every time I try and find a fix to my problem or a way around it I see Cubase fanboys pretending there’s no issue with Cubase.
it does, option key hovering over a event summons the split
I totally get what your saying…I feel like it’s a thing us Logic defectors really relied on (toggling a tool with the option button)…and Cubase seems so close to having the same functionality, but only for the pencil tool (which, for me, is the tool I use the least). I hope we’ll be able to select what default tool we want for the opt button in the future. Again, I think Logic defectors will know how truly central this workflow feature is.
It is hard to understand what functionality you are missing. If you have chosen the Select tool, then hovering over an existing event/part will give you the scissors by holding Alt/Opt.
You will get the draw tool only when the mouse hovers over emptiness.
Thanks Johnny! Let me try to state the. question clearer: Can we select other tools on our Alt/Opt button? The scissor tool is great to have while I’m hovering over an existing event/part (while holding down Alt/Opt), but I’d rather have either the range or zoom tool while I’m hovering over emptiness (while holding down Alt/Opt) instead of the draw tool (which I only use occasionally). The ability to change what tool a modifier button brings up is a feature I deeply miss as a Logic defector. Thanks again!
Understandable. Since the OP asked specifically for a scissor tool, how about you create a new topic, where you ask for a function that lets you define two tools and a key command for toggling between them? Tag the topic as a feature-request, please.
