This image shows various techniques and shortcuts; how to shortcut my way through MAX session. I have found this helpful as it cuts off time and has made me understand the basics of MAX; it's mathematical encounters. Still, there is much to be learnt!

However the image above only implies a few shortcuts, I have taken other time to search for shortcuts and found another process;

Shift + Command + Y; Tidy's up wiring.

I have found this exceptionally helpful. Due to presentation from the modules requirements, it leaves the patcher looking nice. The wires are visibly in place from 'object' to 'object', or 'object' to 'message' etc. So the viewer can make sense of the process and understanding of my project.

This knowledge has now increased my ability to overlook into the basics of the patcher (MAX) and thrive upon a quicker and neatly presented patcher.

Ending, and progressing thoughts;

HOW can I use my knowledge to present the EASIEST phase (revert to getting started)

Is there more? (MAX has no limits!)

Getting Started.
