To trim automation data in finer increments with the Trim Tool, which modifier key do you press?

• A. Shift
• B. Command
• C. Option
• D. Control

Answer: (B)

Fine-grain control is what this tests. When you’re trimming automation with the Trim Tool and you want small, precise adjustments, holding down the Command key while you drag switches to a finer edit mode. This makes each movement affect the automation by a much smaller amount, letting you dial in exact changes to, for example, volume or pan envelopes. Without this modifier, the trim uses the normal, coarser increment. On Windows, the equivalent is the Control key, but in this Mac-focused context the Command key is the one that gives you the finer control.
