Basic Actions

basehead offers a clean and uncluttered interface.  Almost all operational actions have keyboard shortcuts to speed up your workflow dramatically as we are not just designers, but also users of the program that was created so we can go home from work hours earlier each day…hehe

 

Command Bar

The command bar is found to the left of the Waveform View and offers some quick shortcuts to common functions which can be found in the actions menu along with many more functions.

Hover over a button to find out what each one is and what the keyboard shortcut is.
The buttons “In-Line” and “Handles” are related to “Spot to Track” function, if you have these advanced features in your edition,m and can be learned more about on the ‘Options/Target Apps Section’

  • Spot to Track (S)  (Click the right side arrow to change Target Apps or go to the Options/Target App Tab with even more options)
  • Add to Taglist (T)
  • Copy to Transfer Path (C)
  • Open Containing Folder (O)
  • Open in Wave Editor (W) or set Wave Editor #2 (Alt+W)
  • X-fer any selected sound to the Pool or Bin of the Target App (X) 
  • Random Sound (?)

Alternate Actions to the above.…

Copy ‘TagList’ to Transfer Path (Shift+C)
Will Copy all Tagged files to the set Transfer Path

Spot all files from the TagList (Shift+S)
Will Spot all Tagged files to the Selected DAW

X-fer Taglist to Pool/Bin (Shift+X)
Current un-transferred files on the Taglist page will be tossed to the Pool/Bin in the supported target application if supported.

Show Folder Contents (Alt+F)
Will show the folder contents of the selected record in the Results Page.

Force Show All Records
This bypasses the ‘Max Records Returned’ set value on the Options Page and instead returns All records.
ProTip: You can also hold CTRL while pressing ENTER on a search to bypass the set limit to display.
