      How to use automation in your mixing

      audio engineering Nov 17, 2024

      Do you ever feel like your beats are flat or boring?

      Automation is the cheat code that can bring them to life.

      One of the best uses of automation is in transitions.

      The simplest uses create an ebb and flow of emotion in your productions;

      • Volume fades.
      • Filter sweeps.
      • Reverb tails. 

      One of my secrets is automating effects to keep evolving my beat (instead of adding more sounds).

      I couldn't think how to give examples in text, and one or two video clips wouldn't be enough... 

      So here's an entire guide I made for you (b/c I fw you πŸ˜ŒπŸ™). 

      Lmk what you think in a reply here or in the comment section.

      Blessings,

      Pss. Think about it  - the listener’s ear unconsciously desires movement, and automation is how you create that.
