Ableton Live 10 has been out for a couple of months now. Beyond the incredible new Wavetable synth, Multi MIDI Clip editing, the Capture feature, awesome effects and everything else there were a ton of workflow improvements too. While some of them felt a bit awkward to get the hang of after spending so much time in the early versions of Live, within a month or so I've found the changes to be genuinely useful and very welcome!
I figured I would share my top 10 shortcuts in Ableton Live 10 to help you speed up your workflow and get you more time for the fun part… producing good music!
137 time-saving Hotkeys for Ableton Live 9. Extensive, exportable, wiki-style reference lists for Keyboard Shortcuts/Hotkeys. Make sure that there are no Key mappings which conflict with the shortcuts. Certain plug-ins can hijack the keyboard when their GUI is open. Close all plug-in GUIs and try again. If it's still not working, try in a completely blank set instead. Certain taskbar utilities may use the same keyboard shortcuts.
This set of shortcuts focuses on the Arrangement View in Live. Though some of them are applicable to Session View, not all of them are.
1 - Toggle Automation Mode – A (Windows / Max)
This is by far my most used keyboard shortcut in Live 10. I love it. Pressing A on the keyboard hides and/or reveals automation lines for you tracks.
It also does the same for the clip fade handles too. Hiding one will reveal the other which is one reason this shortcut had to be added. Having those fades right on the edge of the clip at the click of one key is awesome too!
2 - Split Clip at Selection – CTRL + E (Windows) CMD + E (Mac)
This little shortcut blows my mind. I used to have to highlight a section of audio, then click it and drag it a little to the left or right, and then drop it back down in its original place to make a section. This process would have to be done over and over again. But now, just select then CTRL + E and boom goes the dynamite.
3 - Zoom to Arrangement Time Selection – Z (Windows / Mac)
Highlight a section of your tune and press Z. Live will zoom in and focus on that part for you instantly. No more clicking and dragging up and down on the top of the timeline. Another huge time saver that I find myself using all the time.
4 - Full Zoom Out – Shift + Z (Windows / Mac)
This shortcut goes hand-in-hand with the last one. This will zoom you all the way out. It will also fold (collapse) any channels you have unfolded giving you the biggest picture you can get.
Also, a bonus shortcut while we are on the subject, the S key (Windows / Mac) will fold all your channels without zooming out letting you see more of the channels of larger projects.
5 - Reverse Audio Clip Selection – R (Windows / Mac)
Reversing audio files is something that I personally do a lot in my projects. I used to have to highlight the audio clip and move the cursor all the way down to the sample panel and hit the Rev button. Now, simply press R and move forward. Brilliant!
6 - Activate / Deactivate Computer MIDI Keyboard – M (Windows / Mac)
Because of all these glorious new shortcuts the Computer MIDI Keyboard isn’t activated by default anymore. But it does have its own shortcut. Simply hit M and you’ll activate it, then M again to turn it off.
7 - Arrow Keys to Nudge / Move Clips – Left / Right (Windows / Mac)

If you have a clip, or multiple clips or your whole project selected you can now hit the left or right arrow keys to shift those clips in the timeline. The jumps will happen by the current grid size. Below are a couple of bonus shortcuts for you that will help you utilize this one above better.
- Command / Control + 1 to Narrow the Grid
- Command / Control + 2 to Widen the Grid
- Command / Control + 3 for the Triplet Grid
8 - Temporarily Bypass Snapping While Dragging – Alt (Windows) CMD (Mac)
Another great feature new in Live 10 is when moving automation points they snap to the grid. However, you might not always want that. Simply press and hold Alt (Windows) / CMD (Mac) to temporarily bypass the snapping feature for the duration the key is pressed. This also works for moving audio and MIDI clips in the timeline as well.
9 - 2 New Ways for Working with Clips in the Arrangement
First, you to change the segment BPM of the clip. With automation lines hidden, hold shift and click the upper part of the clip’s waveform at either end of the clip. Before clicking you should see a bracket when you are near the edge, then when you press shift the bracket should get an arrow next to it. This allows you to adjust the segment BPM for that clip. This is helpful for double or half time changes or getting creative and unexpected results.
Second, you to change the clip’s Loop bar. With automation lanes hidden, hold Ctrl/CMD + Shift + click on the waveform in the clip and drag left or right. This will adjust the loop length and position for that clip.
10 - While Renaming, Go to next Track – Tab (Windows / Mac)
This is absolutely brilliant. Have you ever just gone down the rabbit hole and made a project with 30+ channels and didn’t have the time to name a single one? Then, stepping back for a moment you remember how important naming channels can be. Well now you can rename them all in a breeze.
First, you should know the shortcut for renaming anything in Live. That’s Ctrl/CMD + R
If you rename channel one for example, instead of hitting enter to cement the change and exit renaming mode, you can now hit Tab and jump to the next channel and rename it too. You can do that all the way down your project. This has already saved me a ton of time!
These are just a few of my favorites. There were a lot more added to the update. I can’t recommend enough that you go and read Ableton’s shortcut help document and see what else there is to be discovered. Perhaps there is something not listed here that is perfect for your workflow!!
using shortcuts while performing repetitive tasks in software can save you up to 60 hours per year according to some estimates. ableton is no exception - that's more time you can spend on your productions or buying groceries or whatever. so let's review some of the top shortcuts for ableton live!

many of these you may (should) already be duly familiar with but there are a few that can escape even a seasoned producer. definitely have a look and let me know what stands out to you as the most useful shortcut.
play from playhead
shift + spacebar
starting playback from your keyboard defaults back to the start of the selection. holding shift and pressing spacebar starts the track from where you left after, simplifying the process of resuming from a pause.
insert time
cmd + i (ctrl + i)
it can be a pain to highlight half of your project and move it a few bars just to make a little room for a new part. this shortcut makes that process much simpler.
insert silence can be used to help you get creative with your arrangement. the Beatles famously used to drop in odd half bars or extra beats to create odd time signatures or build extra anticipation before a chorus & insert time can help you do these kinds of things quickly in live.

delete time
cmd + shift + delete (ctrl + shift + delete)
I use delete time all the time when editing podcasts & working on sound design & it can save you ridiculous amounts of time as an effective compositional tool when you want to remove a few bars or a full section from your track. make these easy on yourself with this shortcut!
Ableton Mac Shortcuts
loop selection
cmd + l (ctrl + l)
looping in arrangement mode is great for beginning a track as you can hear, track, & develop a section without worrying about the length or needing to stop & restart the transport.
obviously, this shortcut will set the loop bracket to the current selection & turn looping 'on'. remember you can turn looping off with the loop switch in the top right corner of the program.
more looping shortcuts
cmd + arrow (ctrl + arrow)
the downside to these is that you have to first select the loop bracket to make it 'active'. from there, however, you can hold cmd and use the arrow keys to expand or shorten the loop (by a factor of two) or move it around your song.
follow transport
Ableton Live Lite Mac
cmd + shift + f (ctrl + shift + f)

following playback let's you keep a careful eye on all the details of your track as it plays & this shortcut both turns on and turns off the function. as soon as you interact with live in some way, it will disengage from following, so keep that in mind.
cut automation only
cmd + alt + x (ctrl + alt + delete)
the default clipboard behavior is to edit clips & envelopes as one entity & this is usually preferred. in some cases, however, you'll want to edit automation independently of its associated automation & you can do so by adding 'alt' to the standard clipboard shortcuts. notice when an envelope is deleted, breakpoints are created on either side of the deleted segment & an automation line is drawn to smoothly connected.

duplicate envelopes only
option + cmd + d (alt + ctrl + d)
another useful way to ignore the audio in your clips when you only want to focus on automation. fantastic for cycling a pattern in arrangement view, as duplicating automation can help you make interesting modulations above changing audio, like rhythmic filter sweeps.
record
fn + f9 (f9)
Ableton Live 10 Shortcuts Mac
a very useful shortcut for quick recording. note that if you've enabled 'start playback with record' in the record/warp/launch section of the preferences this will handily also start your transport.
I find that on osx it's a little difficult to press f9 (as a combination of fn key & f9 key) with one hand & I often find it essential to initiate recording with one hand. this is why I recommend key mapping record to something simpler & saving it to your default template. this way you create your own keyboard shortcut that is much easier to use - necessary for such an essential command.
that's it for part 1. check out part 2 and part 3 by clicking below for even more shortcuts you should know!
