If you work on a MacBook, you’ll find this useful - you could for example, have the arrangement window in your main workspace and the mixer window in another one, saving space in your laptop screen. Here I can move certain windows to a second virtual worskspace at the top and switch between workspaces by using a four finger swipe to the left or right. I swipe up with four fingers to open Mission Control and see all my active windows.

We can also zoom in Logic Pro and Studio One with a pinch gesture after enable it at S ystem Preferences> Trackpad>Scroll & Zoom. Logic Pro zooms both vertically and horizontally with the ⌥ key and Studio One with ⌘. Pro Tools uses ⌥ but only for horizontal zoom. (More on this later.)īesides scrolling, a two finger swipe while pressing ⌥ or ⌘ lets you zoom in and out depending on the DAW. I avoid using three finger swipes because they cause conflicts with AudioSwift. They are helpful for things such as scrolling or showing the Desktop, Launchpad and Mission Control. Swipes and pinch gestures with two, three or four fingers can also be configured at System Preferences> Trackpad>More Gestures. A two finger tap is a regular right click. With this setting enabled, I use the middle finger for moving and then without lifting it, I tap with the index just like working with a mouse. When I started working with a trackpad I was only using one finger to move the pointer and click. But it’s better to tap the trackpad to click by going into System Preferences>Trackpad>Point & Click and enable Tap to click. By default, the trackpad is configured to allow a click by pressing its surface with one finger.
The Trackpad Preferences window shows all available gestures. We’ll start with the most common macOS multi-touch gestures and then we’ll check out two apps that expand the trackpad’s functionalities: Au dioSwift and Be tterTouchTool. I’ll be showing different ways to use a trackpad in your workflow with some tips and tricks.

However, for Mac users a trackpad can also be a valuable tool, either by using the built-in trackpad on a MacBook or adding a Magic Trackpad to a desktop setup. The most used input device in computer based music production is definitely the mouse.
