Do you use the same automation with tracks you make?

Post by serox » Mon Jun 23, 2008 10:36 am

Do you use the same automation with tracks you make? I nearly always use the same automation with tracks I am making:( Finding it hard to break out of the routine I keep getting into.

I often automate delay, filters and eq but always end up doing them in the same places lol
Don’t worry about people stealing an idea. If it’s original, you will have to ram it down their throats.

Depends. Trying different things in terms of sounds/effects/placements can yield some random strokes of genius.

That being said, if you've got particular tricks that you use and like, no reason not to replicate them across different tracks. It's a good way to create a 'sound' of your own.

yeh theres nothign wrong with repeting tricks if they work well. Just trying to come up with new things is taking up time. Need to pick up some new tricks I guess:)

Best way I've found of getting results is taking whatever you want to automate then do it in an EXTREME way (devil horns optional when you say EXTREME)

Seriously, crank everything up to it's highest, go for proper mad peaks and troughs on the automation track.

Alternatively, you could automate the LFO/filter cutoff on your bassline. There's a word for it, but I can't remember what it is right now.....
