How do you add automation to your mix? Or do you not use automation at all?

[pianball]

New cubase user here from other DAWs. I can't believe they all aren't this flexible. Thanks a ton!

[michaelscotter]

You have such a good teaching style and the quality and content of your videos is truly excellent. Thank you so much.

[LESHED]

Very good Video. I normally handle automation mannually but it looks like the discussed topics can make my autiomation life simpler.. Thank you!

[franciskwekuosei]

Hi thank you for this amazing video. My question is would you advise doing all my automations on the sub groups example from the snare buss or strings buss, like all the aux Keyboard’s buss

[GeertDecancq]

Greetings from Belgium (Europe) Very useful tutorial

[TakahashiJones]

Excellent video. Had no idea you could lock the vertical input by simply holding CTRL. That has been a pain in the ar*e for years, I want to use more automation but it fet so clunky.
Would definitely like to see an advanced video on this! Keep up the good work!

[DylanCunliffeMusic]

Lots of great information here. Thanks so much. Really been enjoying your Spectralayers content as well!

Hello Marteen, Excellent video - easy to understand explanation and to the point.

[johnsnyder]

im hitting this a little late but im a recent cubase convert. ive worked in everything else but despite a bit of a learning curve i feel cubase has the best feature set. i do mainly real instruments. rock, heavy rock trying to do some country. your vids are great. well laid out, to the point and if i can understand anyone can. thanks so much for the content.

Simple and straightforward video. I would offer that a feature of the automation editing is the handles are nearly same as in audio event editing and VariAudio. Very helpful commonality design.

[danielayotalks]

Would definitely like to see an advanced video!

[elliet]

Thank you so much for this video. Was trying to figure out how to do this & it works brilliantly!:)

[leonardovalvassori]

Excellent. A video on automation modes and the panel would be great. Best.

[maeguk]

the range selection tool did it for me, many thanks

[gathobeevens]

GOOD CONTENT FROM A GOOD TEACHER !! BLESSINGS!!!

[paulburgio]

Fantastic video! I noticed this was all about volume, or at least it seemed to be. Can you do this to say, add delay to just a certain part of a track? Is it done the same way?

[a.l.recordingstudio]

Hello Marteen, as usual a very informative video. Thank You. I'm still overwhelmed about the possibilities which are inside cubase for each and all functions.

[Thisninjascared]

Love this video. I needed this badly. Awesome

This is most detailed and helpful within its own context. Unfortunately, all the examples are essentially one-dimensional at a given point in time. I had set up an EQ algorithm and was looking for a method of non-destructively changing the degree to which the algorithm is applied in real time. For most of my track, I don't need any EQ, so the presence of the preset EQ curve would be 0%: but in one short section a shrieking flute needs tamed, so application would rise to 100%. White Sea Studio shows a method of doing this ("Do you need a Dynamic EQ?") but he is using (e.g) Pro Tools, and I don't know an equivalent method in Cubase Pro. I'll keep looking. Thanks just the same.
