Tim...This is the best functional description I've seen on this topic. Automation has been an elusive topic...thanks! much appreciate you sharing your skilzzz!
hello, is there any real good tutorial how to use midi cc, hot to use midi controller to controll plugins with studio one 4?I didnt find anything lately and the old ones are not working, its seems so complicated to use midi cc..im so sad....
Well explained Tim. I have the Presonus StudioLive (32S) controller/mixer. Hoping the mixer faders in READ mode will follow the automation that was written during write mode. I think they will, but will need to test it... Phil NYC Area
I was super lost before thank you for explaining! Any way you might know how to switch presets in a plugin through automation? I really don't want to buy a midi switcher.
I completely get everything you’re doing and I do this and everything works perfectly put away on the last two notes of my lead guitar soul split walked in right. Everything works fine when I play back. It’s just mute to delay to turn it off and then when I make a mix, bring it down to listen to it, there’s no delay on the soul wonder tracker but everything is working in my studio one and I want to turn on and off and do what it supposed to do but when I miss it down, there’s no delay on the solo. What am I missing you here?
So I have a good handle on using automation but how do you write it on the mixdown. I write the automation in the project just won't work on the mixdown?
Are you saying that your exported mix doesn't have your automation moves in it? If this is the case, my first guess would be to make sure that all your channels (and maybe some plugins if you have plugin automation going on) are set to the green "Read" mode.
@@TimTalksAudio thanks for your help I've tried that options and for some with the automation of izotope vinyl won't export on the mixdown. Even when the plug is on read and channel as well... I've found a work around in another TH-cam vid. In this video but if there is an easier way to just export that would be great th-cam.com/video/s9FZQsDVMBo/w-d-xo.html
That is certainly a great workaround. Are you also having issues with vinyl or is it another plugin that you’re having problems with? Vinyl is an older plugin from Izotope so there could be some bugs with it and studio one.
@@TimTalksAudio yes I was trying to use the izotope vinyl plugin with the same issue thanks for your videos Tim they're great for someone recently switching to studio one for my main daw
Hello! My automation doesn't move along with my tracks/region when I move my tracks which leaves the automation out of sync from where I want them. So how do I get my automation to move along to my tracks if I select all and move all my tracks forward (112 tracks) too many tracks with automation other wise I would do it manually
Great vid! I like to do simple write automation with my mouse using the nodes. However if I just want to move my volume up 1 or 2 dB but then one little move of the mouse makes it go up 8 to 10 dB how do I do micro movements? Thank you
The difference between this explanation and the Presonus help page is like the difference between a Michelin star meal and a discarded muffin stump found in a truck stop trash can.
Why not? As a mixing engineer, it's our job to use what ever tools may bring us closer to the sound we want! It's very common to automate all kinds of things within a single song!
@@TimTalksAudio I thought the general consensus was to use a tool/utility on the chain and automate volume on that so you can still use the mixer as a mixer
@@traveler263 there’s a lot of ways to control all sorts of parameters! Automation is there to repeat these processes as we need in whatever way works best for that individual!
@@TimTalksAudio right, just that I was talking about the best practice of using a gain in the chain for volume automation, so that the mixer can still be controlled as a mixer. it's simply a well known best practice that seems to work best for most individuals so many recommend it, which in turn, can make a video on automation using fader automation as an example, look like a gordon ramsay video teaching how to make filet mignon but using all frozen ingredients
OK, I learned a couple of things about automation, but!!! If you are going to teach something, clear out all of your massive quantaties of JUNK on your screen (presumably trying to show what a sophisticated sound engineer you are) and put a SINGLE, BIG recording line with a single big mix channel on the screen instead. That way what you are trying to show will be larger than a nickel in a screen full of stuff! Another thing: find a recording of something like a voice or a piano that is playing a simple melody (twinkle twinkle little star for all I care), but something that everyone KNOWS what it should sound like and can tell if on section of the music is too loud, too soft, etc. Do not use drums! (You didn’t in this one, thank you.). Drums only make sense in reference to the other components of the music. Remember this video is INTRODUCING people to the concepts. KISS - keep it simple stupid! LOL. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! Firstly, I'm glad to hear that you did learn somethings after watching this video. Second, I understand what you mean by keeping the contents of the session to a minimum when demonstrating. I will keep that in mind for future content. Thank you again for watching and for the feedback.
@@TimTalksAudio Thanks for the video very well done, I have a lexicon external reverb do you have a video on how to set it up (from lexicon to studio one) and using it on prerecorded vocals. Thanks again
This is the best quick overview to help a musician understand automation ... great job with the content and making it understandable .... THANK YOU!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tim...This is the best functional description I've seen on this topic. Automation has been an elusive topic...thanks! much appreciate you sharing your skilzzz!
Absolutely brilliant video. Gave me exactly what I needed in just a few minutes, which was knowing what the modes are and how to use them. Thank you!
Thank you! Please share the video how ever you like so more people can learn as well!
Thanks! I got really quickly exactly what I needed :)
You're welcome!
Thanks Tim, it's actually really straightforward once someone explains it properly!
Thank you so much! I'm glad this was helpful!
Just what I needed to know!
compact and precise explanation - thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
How do I write automation for effects/ reverb etc
Hey Jono! I've made a video about writing automation for effects and such! Check it out here th-cam.com/video/u3mm00Pc9JQ/w-d-xo.html
Thanks so much. That's what I was looking for for a long time. Wery useful.
Thank you so much. I couldn’t find this information anywhere else... Very clear tutorial too, dick not caught in blender!
Is there any shortcut key for midi Track write and read ?

When you click and hold a node, push down either control(command) or shift to do fine adjustments.

Very helpful!

How do you save group tracks in a folder as a preset?
Do you mean two mono tracks, grouped together in a folder track? For example Keys L and R, or guitar DI and Mic(s)? Then those tracks in a folder?
bro why u automating the mixer ?

“Written”. Not “Wri’en”. The glottal stop was too distracting and I has to stop listening.
