Logic Volume Automation Trick

[Toric]

I never automate volume, I just use compression.

Try it out. When you're mixing a track (I tend to do this near the end) throw a compressor on the track that's overwhelming another track. It's a bit tricky and you need to play around with it a bit, but it can work.

For fade ins, I use the fade tool.

people try to automate because they feel a compressor won't be delicate enough to handle dynamics the way they'd like...
