hello!
Is there a shortcut – or even a long-cut – for clearing peaks in the BFD mixer?
Double-clicking the peak indicators doesn’t appear to work, but they are small, maybe I’m not landing right on them.
The manual doesn’t appear to mention such a feature but I’m sure there must be one (didn’t I used to clear peaks in the BFD2 mixer all the time?)
There is a shortcut. I had requested it to be added iirc. Check BFD3 Prefs. Also, I think if you hold down a modifier key+click one clip indicator on the mixer, it clears them all. Can’t remember if it’s Shift, Option, etc.
thanks!
yeah, i tied all the modifiers i could think of… but perhaps i should try again, and yes, checking the prefs.
the indicators are small enough that nailing one isn’t always easy, and – speaking only for my own case – if i don’t hit them exactly when 2x-clicking, instead what i get is that the whole mixer interface re-sorts itself into a layout i do not favor and i end up having to drag (lots of) tracks back into the look that i like.
but i’m not complaining, of course!
Digital Performer (within which in which I commonly instantiate BFD) has a standard keystroke shortcut (cmd-\, i believe) that clears all clips without clicking anything, tho any specific peak indicator can be cleared in that way.
thanks again!
Ahh yes – there is an [unassigned] shortcut for both clear channel and clear all clips. Now… to figure out how to assign a key combination! Toggling the Learn button and entering a combo does not, in itself, derive the expected result.
Onward,

I think I bound the ESC key for the clip indicators. I haven’t messed with shortcuts in ages, so I don’t remember the process, but it is pretty straightforward. The manual should explain it.
