Thank you soooo much! I have struggled with automation in Logic Pro for so long and no one I followed seemed to cover it. I have needed this tutorial for YEARS!

Thanks, Chris. I use a huge amt of automation and finding these 4 tips has saved me hours and hours. Mixes are just never as exciting without automation. Great channel, I have learned alot from you.

Select with markee tool for bars and beats and press CMD+D to duplicate the automation multiple times... simple and fast

thanks Chris, you are the one who digs the deepest in logic, keep going please ! Phil from Nice/france

Also handy, you can highlight automation nodes by dragging across them , then hold alt and you can see the copied automation being dragged across the track as you place it where required

Brilliant Chris! Don’t know why Logic developers don’t have these selections in as default.

10+ years on logic and I’ve learned something new thank you needed this!!

That setting in Mix I didn't know yet. I always switched to mode Touch. That needs way more clicks :)

For repeating automation I recommend using Region automation. Then you can copy or loop those regions. On top you can create aliases. If you need to change the automation in future, you just have to change the original region and all the aliases will follow it. No need to go thru all regions or re-copy the region thru the whole arrangement. I do that since Logic 8 and it's a very handy workflow for arranging, since automation is made visible by regions, like you have regions for MIDI and audio.

Some excellent automation tips here ... thx for sharing. I was unaware of a couple

I"ve been spending a bit of time getting my head around automation in Logic; so many ways to do it. This is such a concise video, pulling together methods (some that I did not know) that should make the process far easier. One thing I hope you can do is automation for audio and MIDI in Live Loops. I know it's possible, but there's scant info on that out there. Really hoping that you'll consider it; I see Live Loops as a great place to experiment with ideas, especially trying different variations of a cell, so why not automation too? As ever, thank you for this; it's a keeper.

Oh hell yes. Can’t believe I didn’t know that first one. Thank you!!

[somedood]

That first step has sped everything up wow, thanks I can’t believe it’s on by default

[DexWilliamsMusic]

Great tip Chris... I hadn't realised you can cut and paste automation, thanks buddy! :)
