hey guys, i've started a home recording studio for almost 2 years now and i've managed to buy some decent gear(monitors, midi keyboard, maschine, audio interface and so on). I decided to do my own mixing and mastering for my own songs and i thought a mixer would be useful but i like to do it...

I use logic and in a perfect world I know exactly how I want to recall mixes. I would be able to freeze tracks with an I/o plug on it and I'd be done. However logic doesn't do this. I can't record on aux tracks so that rules making stems when I route tracks to buses. Bottom line you can only...

Hey guys, :) So lately I have been moving away from compression/limiting plugins in my mixing, and other methods to even my mixes out, without squashing the transients and losing definition and clarity. Basically, I do some of the work manually, so that the compressor doesn't have to work as...

Howdy! I've just successfully finished a one song project in Vegas 12 due the kind assistance offorum member audiokid. Now I'm working on mixing a more complex project, and I really need to get my Behringer BCF-2000 control surface working. I have it connected, and Vegas is controlling the...

My question is about automation. I know how to use it and have before. But I was wondering, how much automation do the pros typically use? I'm including anything and everything - riding vocals, guitars, individual drums, reverb sends and returns, VST plugins, you name it. If you automate...

Hi, As explained, I have a nice clean Soundcraft Ghost 24 with Meter Bridge, and that old Transport Automation Section. It uses MMC Midi Machine Control to control any recorder so equipped. It also has automated channel mute, if I remember correctly. It's been in a box in storage since...

How do you pan from left to right or right to left speakers on an audio selection in pro tools?

I have been looking for a mixer that covers a need of many of us. I'm talking about using a mixer for its analog summing without just setting the faders to unity and automating in the computer. I have used SSL and AMEK mixers with their own automation engines and recall systems, but we all know...

Ive been experimenting with gain automation for my mix, its sort of a necessity for the music Im mixing - not because of major recording problems, but simply to get as much dynamic range out of the music and have it as natural as possible. Ive read a couple times andy wallace does this, along...

Mixdown automation where mix settings are adjusted in real time.

I've got a session coming up, and need to know how to use the automation system on an SSL J series computer. I do know my way around other parts of the J, but not the automation. Any help/articles you can give me, please do! Cheers!

Howdy, i've been having some automation problems w/ Reaktor 5 and C4. i'm using the pitch shifter module and have been trying to automate both the "shift" knobs and the "mix" knobs. everything writes the way it's supposed to, the stuff shows up in the automation tracks and everything, but...

can anyone tell me some of the intricacies of console automation? some guy told me that automation has in effect been around since the 70's, but i question who between the 70's and 90's (before music died so to speak and digi took over) used serious automation (either form of it), and how much...

hey. im new to the DAW scene. i have access to an MBOX factory and Pro Tools LE 7. I have a 16 track song and i want to do automation; as in during the course of the song several instruments, say the 'strings' are automatically panned left and then right and then center, or like i can set...

I wanted to know if it's possible to import automation settings from one PT session to another? Has any one tried it before? If so could you give me a short rundown? Thanks. Trey

This is the problem I am having..I record my vocals, then use automation to even the volumes of the soundbites relative to each other... then I realize that the volume of the entire track needs to be changed... so then I am stuck with doing the the automation over again... I know this is a very...

I am not a Cubase user yet, still doing some research. I am coming from a PT LE environment and I am wondering about the automation capabilites of Cubase. I would imagine that they are at least comprable to PT but I would like to hear some feedback. I am also particularly interested in...
