58 keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Edge you must try

Edge, Microsoft's new browser, might be a rough diamond and you can make the most of it with a list of shortcuts we have compiled.

Keyboard shortcuts remain an essential tool for any computer user looking to improve their productivity, something not available on tablets or smartphones.

While the growing popularity of touchscreen computers means that some shortcuts are redundant, many will still prefer to use them because, well, they feel more natural and are usually a faster way of getting things done.

If you think we have missed some shortcuts, let us know in the comments.

Mac Tips: GarageBand: How to fade out

Right after trimming a track, fading out on a clip is one of the most common things you'll want to do in GarageBand for Mac. The process sounds a little tricky at first — it involves a feature confusingly called Automation — but after reading our directions, it'll be a piece of cake.

First, click the Show/Hide Automation button, which is adorned with two connected dots and resides under the rewind button at the top of the window. Doing so causes Automation buttons to appear next to the master volume control for every track.

Next, click on a clip and a horizontal yellow line will appear across it — this line represents volume. Click anywhere on it to create a dot that can be used to drag the line up or down, louder or quieter. Create more dots and drag them to shape the line as you see fit, creating spikes and dips in audio.

GarageBand: How to fade out

To fade out, simply place one dot at the point you'd like to start the fade, and a second dot where you'd like the clip to become fully silent. The amount of space you leave between the two dots dictates how long the audio will take to fade away.

And that's it! Now you can end a song with a graceful fade to silence, or manipulate the Automation line to quiet parts of the audio while pumping up others. This technique even helps when podcasting, to help hide annoying bits of background noise or make a mumbled word more discernible. Go crazy!

Do Beats 1 or Pandora have live sports? No, but TuneIn Premium does

While it might be better known for streaming radio stations online, TuneIn is taking on its rivals with a new Premium tier that gives you a little bit of everything.

"With the introduction of TuneIn Premium, we are taking the world's best audio content and putting it all in one place," said John Donham, CEO of TuneIn.

"In today's crowded audio landscape, our focus on exclusive news, talk, sports, and music allows us to deliver an unparalleled listening experience to our users."

So unlike its radio streaming rivals like Apple Music's Beats 1 radio and Pandora, TuneIn Premium, which is priced at about $8 per month, will include live sports coverage of all Major League Baseball games, Barclays Premier League and Bundesliga matches.

In terms of actual live radio streaming, TuneIn Premium will be commercial free, with the radio stations providing TuneIn with separate streams that will play music in place of their ad breaks.

If you don't want live radio and simply want to listen to music, TuneIn Premium also has ad-free music streaming as well.

Unlimited library access

TuneIn is also taking on Amazon's Audible service as well, with the option to stream over 40,000 audiobooks from publishers like Penguin Random House, HarperCollins and Scholastic, including popular titles like the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series.

TuneIn's paid tier will also give you access to 16 different language learning programs.

Compared to Audible, which costs about $15 a month to stream one audiobook per month, TuneIn's offer is a good deal for audiobook lovers, though it's library is smaller than Amazon's.

TuneIn Premium will set you back $7.99 (£5.99) per month, and will be available in the US, UK, Canada. The company has plans to roll it out to other countries in the future.
