In today's video we'll be learning how to
2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,250
use automation in
3
00:00:03,250 --> 00:00:06,833
Studio One.(...) (Music)
4
00:00:07,833 --> 00:00:10,083
Hi folks, I'm Mike and I hope you're
5
00:00:10,083 --> 00:00:12,125
well. It's often said that automation is
6
00:00:12,125 --> 00:00:14,083
the difference between a good track and a
7
00:00:14,083 --> 00:00:16,291
great track and I'm inclined to agree.
8
00:00:16,583 --> 00:00:18,375
With automation we can breathe life into
9
00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:20,666
a track by adding dynamics. We can also
10
00:00:20,666 --> 00:00:22,166
make sure that things stay in balance
11
00:00:22,166 --> 00:00:23,875
throughout the course of a track and we
12
00:00:23,875 --> 00:00:26,250
can create some cool special effects. So
13
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:27,666
in today's video I'm going to be starting
14
00:00:27,666 --> 00:00:30,083
off with the absolute basics and running
15
00:00:30,083 --> 00:00:32,000
through everything you really need to
16
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,833
know about automation in your tracks. So
17
00:00:34,833 --> 00:00:36,708
let's not dilly dally around, let's get
18
00:00:36,708 --> 00:00:38,291
started with the basics.
19
00:00:40,708 --> 00:00:42,833
So before we get stuck into the basics of
20
00:00:42,833 --> 00:00:44,333
automation I just want to check some
21
00:00:44,333 --> 00:00:46,166
options with you in Studio One. So that
22
00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:48,083
if you are following along you get the
23
00:00:48,083 --> 00:00:50,291
same or similar results to me as you go.
24
00:00:50,625 --> 00:00:52,083
So here in Studio One I'm going to press
25
00:00:52,083 --> 00:00:54,333
CTRL and comma on the keyboard to bring
26
00:00:54,333 --> 00:00:56,291
up options. I'm then going to go across
27
00:00:56,291 --> 00:00:58,208
to Advanced, click on that. I'm then
28
00:00:58,208 --> 00:00:59,916
going to go down to the Automation tab
29
00:00:59,916 --> 00:01:01,750
here and click on that. Now I'm not going
30
00:01:01,750 --> 00:01:03,500
to go through all these options with you
31
00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:05,458
today. I would recommend if this is your
32
00:01:05,458 --> 00:01:07,458
first time to try automation and you want
33
00:01:07,458 --> 00:01:09,250
to follow along just set things up the
34
00:01:09,250 --> 00:01:11,041
same as I've got them set here. In
35
00:01:11,041 --> 00:01:12,958
particular make sure you've got this one
36
00:01:12,958 --> 00:01:14,750
set where it says Automatically Add
37
00:01:14,750 --> 00:01:17,291
Envelopes for all touch parameters. Make
38
00:01:17,291 --> 00:01:19,375
sure that that is checked. If you've made
39
00:01:19,375 --> 00:01:21,666
any changes at all then click on Apply at
40
00:01:21,666 --> 00:01:23,625
the bottom and then click on OK to get
41
00:01:23,625 --> 00:01:25,583
rid of this window. Now the first type of
42
00:01:25,583 --> 00:01:27,166
automation we're going to do is Volume
43
00:01:27,166 --> 00:01:29,500
Automation. That's where we do change the
44
00:01:29,500 --> 00:01:32,250
volume of something by moving the fader
45
00:01:32,250 --> 00:01:35,791
on our console in Studio One. That's on
46
00:01:35,791 --> 00:01:37,625
the piano that I've got set up here is
47
00:01:37,625 --> 00:01:39,833
this fader down here which you can see me
48
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:42,791
moving there. Now just as I mentioned the
49
00:01:42,791 --> 00:01:44,791
piano I'm using I'll just open it up here
50
00:01:44,791 --> 00:01:48,000
is Noir Pure. This is a contact library
51
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000
that's a native instruments one but if
52
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,958
you haven't got that and just use any
53
00:01:51,958 --> 00:01:53,500
instrument at all it really doesn't
54
00:01:53,500 --> 00:01:55,916
matter so I'll close that there.(...) So
55
00:01:55,916 --> 00:01:57,625
what I'm going to do is start off with
56
00:01:57,625 --> 00:01:59,583
the fader at zero. I'll just drag that
57
00:01:59,583 --> 00:02:01,375
all the way down to zero so we won't be
58
00:02:01,375 --> 00:02:02,833
able to hear the piano and then I'm going
59
00:02:02,833 --> 00:02:05,000
to gradually fade it in. Now I want to
60
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,250
record my actions as I go along. So down
61
00:02:08,250 --> 00:02:10,250
at the bottom below the fader where it
62
00:02:10,250 --> 00:02:12,208
currently says Auto off I'm going to
63
00:02:12,208 --> 00:02:14,125
click on that and change it to right
64
00:02:14,125 --> 00:02:16,333
mode. And that changes red and says right
65
00:02:16,333 --> 00:02:18,750
there. That means it's going to write or
66
00:02:18,750 --> 00:02:21,708
record any actions that we take on this
67
00:02:21,708 --> 00:02:23,916
channel especially with the fader at the
68
00:02:23,916 --> 00:02:26,208
moment. So let's press play on the
69
00:02:26,208 --> 00:02:28,166
keyboard we don't need to press record we
70
00:02:28,166 --> 00:02:30,125
just play the track and then it's going
71
00:02:30,125 --> 00:02:31,333
to record any actions we
72
00:02:31,333 --> 00:02:32,708
make. Let's go ahead and do that.
73
00:02:34,708 --> 00:02:36,958
So I'm gradually pushing the fader up.
74
00:02:44,708 --> 00:02:46,916
Okay and then I'll just stop. Now you
75
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:49,541
will have noticed right away that this
76
00:02:49,541 --> 00:02:51,333
display right at the top here has
77
00:02:51,333 --> 00:02:53,500
changed. This is showing us our
78
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:56,750
automation data as it's been recorded or
79
00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:58,500
written. Okay we're going to get back to
80
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:00,750
this in a moment but if you don't like to
81
00:03:00,750 --> 00:03:02,875
see that all the time you can just press
82
00:03:02,875 --> 00:03:04,833
A on the keyboard to go back to the
83
00:03:04,833 --> 00:03:06,500
regular view that you have on tracks.
84
00:03:06,791 --> 00:03:08,500
Press A again to bring it back up. If you
85
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:10,208
don't want to use keyboard shortcuts then
86
00:03:10,208 --> 00:03:11,833
you can just press this button at the top
87
00:03:11,833 --> 00:03:14,625
here to show and hide automation data.
88
00:03:14,708 --> 00:03:16,791
We're going to leave it on for now. Now
89
00:03:16,791 --> 00:03:18,625
the next thing I'm going to do right down
90
00:03:18,625 --> 00:03:20,666
here where we had this set to write is
91
00:03:20,666 --> 00:03:23,500
I'm going to change it to read. Okay this
92
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:26,041
means that now when we play the track
93
00:03:26,041 --> 00:03:28,250
it's going to read this data and it's
94
00:03:28,250 --> 00:03:30,041
going to repeat the actions that we made
95
00:03:30,041 --> 00:03:33,500
when we wrote or recorded the data. Let's
96
00:03:33,500 --> 00:03:34,458
go ahead and press play.
97
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:38,541
So honestly no hands it's all happening
98
00:03:38,541 --> 00:03:40,791
without me doing anything at all.(...)
99
00:03:40,791 --> 00:03:45,333
And you'll see that that's faded in as we
100
00:03:45,333 --> 00:03:47,666
record it. Now stop there. Now if we look
101
00:03:47,666 --> 00:03:49,208
at this display at the top you'll see
102
00:03:49,208 --> 00:03:50,916
this sudden cliff here and you can
103
00:03:50,916 --> 00:03:52,708
probably guess what's going to happen if
104
00:03:52,708 --> 00:03:53,958
I play from that point.
105
00:03:56,208 --> 00:03:58,875
Suddenly our fader goes back down to zero
106
00:03:58,875 --> 00:04:00,541
and that's because when we started
107
00:04:00,541 --> 00:04:04,166
recording or writing automation data that
108
00:04:04,166 --> 00:04:07,041
fader was down at zero which means it was
109
00:04:07,041 --> 00:04:09,208
set to zero for the whole track unless we
110
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:10,958
did anything else. And we did something
111
00:04:10,958 --> 00:04:13,083
else which it recorded but then after we
112
00:04:13,083 --> 00:04:15,125
stopped it set it back to zero again. So
113
00:04:15,125 --> 00:04:16,958
that's not very handy at all. I actually
114
00:04:16,958 --> 00:04:18,375
want it to stay at that level for the
115
00:04:18,375 --> 00:04:20,500
rest of the track so I can get rid of
116
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:22,375
this node here. We'll call these little
117
00:04:22,375 --> 00:04:24,791
dots nodes okay. If I select that node
118
00:04:24,791 --> 00:04:26,791
and press delete on the keyboard it just
119
00:04:26,791 --> 00:04:28,541
gets rid of that and you can see that
120
00:04:28,541 --> 00:04:30,125
it's going to maintain that volume for
121
00:04:30,125 --> 00:04:31,000
the rest of the track.
122
00:04:34,291 --> 00:04:36,458
Okay now I'll just undo that. Another way
123
00:04:36,458 --> 00:04:38,416
that we can do it even easier is just to
124
00:04:38,416 --> 00:04:40,708
double click on a node and that gets rid
125
00:04:40,708 --> 00:04:43,041
of it as well. Now these nodes are very
126
00:04:43,041 --> 00:04:44,833
very handy because if you don't want to
127
00:04:44,833 --> 00:04:46,750
actually record your actions but you want
128
00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:49,583
to be very very precise or just do
129
00:04:49,583 --> 00:04:51,333
gradual things without having to record
130
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:53,458
it then you can use these nodes. To
131
00:04:53,458 --> 00:04:55,500
create a new node for example I can just
132
00:04:55,500 --> 00:04:57,791
hover over the blue line there. I'll just
133
00:04:57,791 --> 00:04:59,333
click on that and it's created a new
134
00:04:59,333 --> 00:05:01,500
node. I could then just drag that down
135
00:05:01,500 --> 00:05:04,000
like so and automatically create a fade
136
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,208
out. Let's see how that goes.
137
00:05:08,791 --> 00:05:10,458
Okay and of course if I'm not happy about
138
00:05:10,458 --> 00:05:12,250
that I can just grab it and drag it
139
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:14,000
around like so to different positions.
140
00:05:14,458 --> 00:05:16,500
Notice it is snapping so if you don't
141
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,791
want it to snap to specific positions
142
00:05:18,791 --> 00:05:20,916
then make sure you've got snap turned off
143
00:05:20,916 --> 00:05:23,416
okay so you can do things like so. Now if
144
00:05:23,416 --> 00:05:25,666
I hover over this line you'll see that a
145
00:05:25,666 --> 00:05:28,583
new little kind of a node appears. I can
146
00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:30,750
actually grab that and drag that now and
147
00:05:30,750 --> 00:05:33,791
I can make curves like so okay concave or
148
00:05:33,791 --> 00:05:36,541
converse curves. That means that you can
149
00:05:36,541 --> 00:05:39,541
create automation using nodes and then
150
00:05:39,541 --> 00:05:42,291
just make them really really natural with
151
00:05:42,291 --> 00:05:43,458
these kinds of curves.
152
00:05:43,458 --> 00:05:44,458
Let's have a listen now.
153
00:05:51,416 --> 00:05:53,666
So what I sometimes like to do is record
154
00:05:53,666 --> 00:05:56,333
my actions as I did originally but then
155
00:05:56,333 --> 00:06:00,083
just use that as a guide and draw new
156
00:06:00,083 --> 00:06:02,666
curves in there. So I can now just select
157
00:06:02,666 --> 00:06:04,791
a bunch of these nodes here for example.
158
00:06:04,791 --> 00:06:07,750
I've seen roughly where my fade in
159
00:06:07,750 --> 00:06:09,916
happens and I'm just going to drag across
160
00:06:09,916 --> 00:06:12,125
from the bottom here to do a range
161
00:06:12,125 --> 00:06:14,125
selection and I'll just get rid of those
162
00:06:14,125 --> 00:06:16,291
nodes. I'm going to press delete on the
163
00:06:16,291 --> 00:06:18,458
keyboard to get rid of them like so and
164
00:06:18,458 --> 00:06:20,208
then that's created this line between
165
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:22,250
them and then I can adjust that to make a
166
00:06:22,250 --> 00:06:24,541
nice curve. Now the reason I sometimes
167
00:06:24,541 --> 00:06:26,916
like to do that not always is just that
168
00:06:26,916 --> 00:06:29,125
if I do want to do some editing it's much
169
00:06:29,125 --> 00:06:30,875
easier to edit just a few times. So I can
170
00:06:30,875 --> 00:06:31,833
do that by adding a few nodes than having
171
00:06:31,833 --> 00:06:33,708
a whole bunch as we did there earlier. As
172
00:06:33,708 --> 00:06:36,791
you can see it was like this before. If I
173
00:06:36,791 --> 00:06:39,166
wanted to make any changes it's going to
174
00:06:39,166 --> 00:06:41,541
take a lot of doing so I much prefer just
175
00:06:41,541 --> 00:06:43,708
to get rid of those as I say and then
176
00:06:43,708 --> 00:06:46,958
just create a nice curve myself like so.
177
00:06:47,583 --> 00:06:51,125
Okay so that's the very basics of sort of
178
00:06:51,125 --> 00:06:54,416
recording and then reading back our
179
00:06:54,416 --> 00:06:56,291
actions. Next we're going to look at the
180
00:06:56,291 --> 00:06:58,708
different modes of recording actions.
181
00:07:00,833 --> 00:07:02,875
So we originally created our automation
182
00:07:02,875 --> 00:07:05,916
by being in right mode on the channel and
183
00:07:05,916 --> 00:07:08,291
that recorded any movements we made on
184
00:07:08,291 --> 00:07:10,125
the fader there. So I want to show you
185
00:07:10,125 --> 00:07:12,375
another couple of ways of recording our
186
00:07:12,375 --> 00:07:14,958
actions other than right mode. If we go
187
00:07:14,958 --> 00:07:16,791
down to the bottom where it says read at
188
00:07:16,791 --> 00:07:18,375
the moment I'm just going to click on
189
00:07:18,375 --> 00:07:20,250
that and you can see there's another
190
00:07:20,250 --> 00:07:21,750
couple of modes we haven't used. That's
191
00:07:21,750 --> 00:07:23,916
touch mode and latch mode. I'm going to
192
00:07:23,916 --> 00:07:26,208
start off with latch mode here. So when
193
00:07:26,208 --> 00:07:27,625
we're in latch mode what's going to
194
00:07:27,625 --> 00:07:29,666
happen is when we start to when we press
195
00:07:29,666 --> 00:07:31,708
play and start playing the track it's
196
00:07:31,708 --> 00:07:33,583
actually going to be in read mode. It's
197
00:07:33,583 --> 00:07:35,416
just going to go ahead and read any
198
00:07:35,416 --> 00:07:37,375
information there. But as soon as we grab
199
00:07:37,375 --> 00:07:40,000
that control in this case the fader it's
200
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,791
going to start to write or record the the
201
00:07:42,791 --> 00:07:45,000
movements that we make on that fader. And
202
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,708
then it's going to continue to do that
203
00:07:46,708 --> 00:07:49,083
until we press stop and stop the track
204
00:07:49,083 --> 00:07:50,916
from playing. So let's see that in action
205
00:07:50,916 --> 00:07:55,375
now. I'll press play. So our piano has
206
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:58,333
faded in.(...) I'm then going to grab the
207
00:07:58,333 --> 00:08:00,666
control and kind of wiggle it up and
208
00:08:00,666 --> 00:08:02,791
down. You can see what's happening there.
209
00:08:02,791 --> 00:08:04,291
(...) And I'm going to
210
00:08:04,291 --> 00:08:05,333
release that control.
211
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:08,291
Now you can see at the top it's
212
00:08:08,291 --> 00:08:12,000
continuing to record that level of the
213
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,541
fader there on the automation track up
214
00:08:14,541 --> 00:08:16,333
here. And it's going to keep recording
215
00:08:16,333 --> 00:08:19,375
that level until we press stop. OK.
216
00:08:20,791 --> 00:08:23,500
OK so that's one way of recording new
217
00:08:23,500 --> 00:08:25,750
information when you've got some existing
218
00:08:25,750 --> 00:08:27,458
information there. I'm going to press
219
00:08:27,458 --> 00:08:30,416
undo.(...) So we go back to how we were.
220
00:08:30,750 --> 00:08:31,791
And we're going to look at the other mode
221
00:08:31,791 --> 00:08:33,583
which is touch mode. So
222
00:08:33,583 --> 00:08:34,625
we'll go to touch mode.
223
00:08:35,666 --> 00:08:37,625
Now this is a little bit different in
224
00:08:37,625 --> 00:08:39,583
that it's going to start off in read mode
225
00:08:39,583 --> 00:08:40,750
again. So it's going to read any
226
00:08:40,750 --> 00:08:42,791
information that's there. And as soon as
227
00:08:42,791 --> 00:08:44,500
we touch this control and make some
228
00:08:44,500 --> 00:08:46,708
changes it's going to write those changes
229
00:08:46,708 --> 00:08:50,458
as it did before. But unlike latch mode
230
00:08:50,458 --> 00:08:52,583
as soon as we release this control it's
231
00:08:52,583 --> 00:08:55,083
going to go back to reading any existing
232
00:08:55,083 --> 00:08:56,583
information that was there.
233
00:08:56,583 --> 00:08:57,750
So let's see that in action.
234
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,500
Starting off with the fade in.
235
00:09:01,958 --> 00:09:02,958
I'll grab the control.
236
00:09:04,375 --> 00:09:07,291
Do the little wiggles again like so. And
237
00:09:07,291 --> 00:09:09,833
then I'll release the control.(...) And
238
00:09:09,833 --> 00:09:13,125
you can see it's carried on reading and
239
00:09:13,125 --> 00:09:15,083
we've still got that fade out which we
240
00:09:15,083 --> 00:09:17,958
designed earlier intact. OK. So those are
241
00:09:17,958 --> 00:09:20,000
the two other right modes that we have
242
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,958
being touch and latch. Now I'll undo that
243
00:09:22,958 --> 00:09:25,125
and I'll show you another use for these
244
00:09:25,125 --> 00:09:27,916
two modes. So I've already recorded that
245
00:09:27,916 --> 00:09:29,958
volume information there. And now rather
246
00:09:29,958 --> 00:09:32,416
than record volume information I want to
247
00:09:32,416 --> 00:09:35,000
record pan information using the pan
248
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:36,791
control up here. So if I
249
00:09:36,791 --> 00:09:38,666
have it in write mode like so.
250
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,208
Press right. OK. And then I'll go ahead
251
00:09:42,208 --> 00:09:43,875
and press play and I'll start making some
252
00:09:43,875 --> 00:09:45,625
changes to the panning here. OK.
253
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,625
So I'm going from left to right.
254
00:09:52,833 --> 00:09:54,291
And you probably can't hear anything very
255
00:09:54,291 --> 00:09:56,166
much at all. And that's because it's
256
00:09:56,166 --> 00:09:57,958
actually re-recording the volume
257
00:09:57,958 --> 00:10:00,125
information. I'll press stop and you'll
258
00:10:00,125 --> 00:10:02,666
see here. I'll just change to pan at the
259
00:10:02,666 --> 00:10:05,166
top here. OK. So where we have this
260
00:10:05,166 --> 00:10:07,166
selector here it says volume. We can now
261
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:09,625
change this so we can see our panning
262
00:10:09,625 --> 00:10:11,375
information. So you can see it has
263
00:10:11,375 --> 00:10:13,333
actually recorded that new panning
264
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:14,625
information which was going from left to
265
00:10:14,625 --> 00:10:17,875
right. But it's also actually destroyed
266
00:10:17,875 --> 00:10:20,708
the right the volume information that we
267
00:10:20,708 --> 00:10:22,416
had there. We don't want it to do that.
268
00:10:22,416 --> 00:10:24,583
We want to leave that intact. So that's
269
00:10:24,583 --> 00:10:27,000
where both the touch and the latch modes
270
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,083
become very important for us. So I'll
271
00:10:29,083 --> 00:10:31,375
undo that so that we've got our volume
272
00:10:31,375 --> 00:10:33,958
information back. Again I'm going to
273
00:10:33,958 --> 00:10:36,458
record some pan actions. But I'm going to
274
00:10:36,458 --> 00:10:39,291
change this over to let's change it to
275
00:10:39,291 --> 00:10:41,625
latch mode. I think is where we'll move
276
00:10:41,625 --> 00:10:42,500
it to. OK. So this time I'm going to
277
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,208
press play. Move the pan around but we
278
00:10:46,208 --> 00:10:49,083
should hear the piano fade in again.
279
00:10:51,208 --> 00:10:52,250
Starting from the left.
280
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:55,083
Going over to the right with the pan.
281
00:10:56,500 --> 00:10:59,541
I'm going to push it over.(...) So it
282
00:10:59,541 --> 00:11:01,333
finishes off in the center.
283
00:11:02,333 --> 00:11:05,166
OK. Now I'll press stop.(...) And I'll
284
00:11:05,166 --> 00:11:07,500
switch over to pan so that we can see the
285
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,041
pan information there. And you can see my actions have been recorded there for the
286
00:11:09,041 --> 00:11:14,875
panning. But my volume if I switch back
287
00:11:14,875 --> 00:11:17,541
to volume is still intact. We haven't
288
00:11:17,541 --> 00:11:19,000
destroyed it at all. So that's another
289
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,833
really good use for both for
290
00:11:20,833 --> 00:11:22,500
both latch and touch modes.
291
00:11:23,708 --> 00:11:25,375
By the way are you enjoying this video
292
00:11:25,375 --> 00:11:27,500
and finding it helpful. If you are then
293
00:11:27,500 --> 00:11:29,500
please make sure that you hit the like
294
00:11:29,500 --> 00:11:31,083
button for me right away. That really
295
00:11:31,083 --> 00:11:33,458
does help me out. Also if you do like
296
00:11:33,458 --> 00:11:34,625
this kind of content especially Studio One tutorials. Go ahead and subscribe and
297
00:11:34,625 --> 00:11:39,666
ring the bell on YouTube. So that you're
298
00:11:39,666 --> 00:11:41,041
notified about my other
299
00:11:41,041 --> 00:11:42,875
videos. Now back to this video.
300
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:46,833
So what can be automated in Studio One.
301
00:11:46,833 --> 00:11:49,625
Well as it turns out quite a lot. We've
302
00:11:49,625 --> 00:11:51,583
seen the basics already like the fader
303
00:11:51,583 --> 00:11:53,541
and the panning. We can also automate
304
00:11:53,541 --> 00:11:55,666
mute. And we can also automate our
305
00:11:55,666 --> 00:11:58,125
inserts and sends as well. So I've got a
306
00:11:58,125 --> 00:12:01,083
send set up here. It's sending off to
307
00:12:01,083 --> 00:12:01,208
this bus over here which has a
reaver plug in it. And it's sending off to this
308
00:12:01,208 --> 00:12:03,000
bus. And this bus over here which has a
309
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:05,791
reaver plug in it. And I can control the
310
00:12:05,791 --> 00:12:08,083
amount that I'm sending over to that bus
311
00:12:08,083 --> 00:12:10,125
using this controller here. It's set down
312
00:12:10,125 --> 00:12:11,541
to zero at the moment. So I want to
313
00:12:11,541 --> 00:12:13,416
automate that and have it gradually fade
314
00:12:13,416 --> 00:12:14,708
in. So I'll just start
315
00:12:14,708 --> 00:12:16,083
playing now and do that.
316
00:12:19,166 --> 00:12:23,458
(Music)
317
00:12:30,666 --> 00:12:33,000
Ok so I've created that there. If we move
318
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,958
the change the display up there. You can
319
00:12:34,958 --> 00:12:37,166
see that that has been recorded there in
320
00:12:37,166 --> 00:12:39,500
the automation. You can also switch sends
321
00:12:39,500 --> 00:12:42,000
off and on and record that off and on
322
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,625
action as well. So lots you can do in the
323
00:12:44,625 --> 00:12:47,208
channel itself. But what about plugins?
324
00:12:47,625 --> 00:12:49,375
Well I mentioned over here that we
325
00:12:49,375 --> 00:12:52,166
actually have a plugin on this bus here.
326
00:12:52,541 --> 00:12:55,000
And this is the Rev Intensity plugin from
327
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,708
Arturia. So I'll just double click on
328
00:12:56,708 --> 00:12:58,500
that. Open that up. One of my favorite
329
00:12:58,500 --> 00:13:00,958
reaver plugins at the moment. So let's
330
00:13:00,958 --> 00:13:02,833
try and record something in this plugin.
331
00:13:03,166 --> 00:13:04,583
Now in order to record some of the
332
00:13:04,583 --> 00:13:06,250
actions that we can take in this plugin.
333
00:13:06,625 --> 00:13:08,416
At the top left corner of the plugin you
334
00:13:08,416 --> 00:13:11,041
can see we've got some controls there. To
335
00:13:11,041 --> 00:13:13,000
set that to recording automation. I'll
336
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,625
actually choose latch mode here. Let's go
337
00:13:15,625 --> 00:13:17,375
with that. And then I'm just going to
338
00:13:17,375 --> 00:13:19,916
change this size control here. So let's
339
00:13:19,916 --> 00:13:22,375
play and then adjust that size control.
340
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,166
(Music)
341
00:13:36,208 --> 00:13:38,250
Ok that had a freaky effect didn't it? So
342
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,916
you can see that what it did there. I'll
343
00:13:39,916 --> 00:13:41,583
just change this to read mode. What it
344
00:13:41,583 --> 00:13:44,416
did there was it created a new lane here.
345
00:13:44,583 --> 00:13:46,500
So of course a plugin itself doesn't
346
00:13:46,500 --> 00:13:48,625
normally have a kind of a track in the
347
00:13:48,625 --> 00:13:50,625
track view here. So it's created an
348
00:13:50,625 --> 00:13:53,583
automation lane there. And it set up this
349
00:13:53,583 --> 00:13:55,416
size parameter here. Which was the
350
00:13:55,416 --> 00:13:58,208
parameter that we were changing. Now you
351
00:13:58,208 --> 00:14:00,875
can change all kinds of things in
352
00:14:00,875 --> 00:14:02,791
different plugins. So for example over
353
00:14:02,791 --> 00:14:04,750
here with this actual virtual instrument
354
00:14:04,750 --> 00:14:08,541
plugin. This piano here. Sorry I'll try
355
00:14:08,541 --> 00:14:10,916
that again. This piano plugin over here.
356
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:12,375
I'll click on the right button. There's
357
00:14:12,375 --> 00:14:14,500
our piano. I'm going to adjust this color
358
00:14:14,500 --> 00:14:16,333
control here. So again I'm just going to
359
00:14:16,333 --> 00:14:18,875
change this. So it's in latch mode. And
360
00:14:18,875 --> 00:14:19,750
I'll change this color
361
00:14:19,750 --> 00:14:23,416
control. Let's go for that.
362
00:14:26,166 --> 00:14:32,291
(Music)
363
00:14:35,666 --> 00:14:36,958
And you can see that that's been
364
00:14:36,958 --> 00:14:39,041
recorded. This time not by creating a new
365
00:14:39,041 --> 00:14:41,291
lane. Because this is the virtual
366
00:14:41,291 --> 00:14:43,000
instrument which is on this existing
367
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,500
track here. But it's created a new
368
00:14:45,500 --> 00:14:49,500
automation lane within the actual piano
369
00:14:49,500 --> 00:14:51,583
track there at the top there. Okay. Now
370
00:14:51,583 --> 00:14:54,291
you can actually manually create your own
371
00:14:54,291 --> 00:14:56,916
automation lanes. So I could go down here
372
00:14:56,916 --> 00:14:59,416
at the bottom. I'll right click and I'll
373
00:14:59,416 --> 00:15:02,166
go add automation track. So I'll add that
374
00:15:02,166 --> 00:15:04,458
in there. Starts off blank. But I can
375
00:15:04,458 --> 00:15:06,333
actually select anything that can be
376
00:15:06,333 --> 00:15:10,000
automated from Studio One. Select where
377
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,708
it says none here. I'll go to add remove.
378
00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:15,625
Click on add remove. So there's two basic
379
00:15:15,625 --> 00:15:17,583
sections which we can see here. Console
380
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:20,041
and instruments. So console relates to
381
00:15:20,041 --> 00:15:21,958
anything down in the console. So if I
382
00:15:21,958 --> 00:15:24,125
expand that you can see the different
383
00:15:24,125 --> 00:15:25,625
tracks that we've already got. Piano,
384
00:15:25,875 --> 00:15:28,375
piano rev and main which is our main
385
00:15:28,375 --> 00:15:31,000
fader. Okay. So let's say we wanted to
386
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,125
adjust the volume on the main fader. I
387
00:15:34,125 --> 00:15:35,500
know we could do it in a regular mode.
388
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,375
But let's just do it fun this way. We'll
389
00:15:37,375 --> 00:15:40,000
go down to main. We'll open that. Select
390
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,208
its volume parameter and then go add over
391
00:15:42,208 --> 00:15:44,500
here. And then we've created an
392
00:15:44,500 --> 00:15:46,708
automation track just for that purpose.
393
00:15:46,916 --> 00:15:49,833
So now I can do a fade out with our main
394
00:15:49,833 --> 00:15:51,333
control. Just quickly do
395
00:15:51,333 --> 00:15:52,916
that there. And I'll press play.
396
00:15:54,125 --> 00:15:56,500
And you can see that our main fader or
397
00:15:56,500 --> 00:15:58,291
wherever on the right where my face
398
00:15:58,291 --> 00:16:01,125
normally is goes down like so. Now undo
399
00:16:01,125 --> 00:16:03,375
that because with that all the way down
400
00:16:03,375 --> 00:16:05,375
there we can't hear anything. And we
401
00:16:05,375 --> 00:16:07,500
could have added all kinds of things in
402
00:16:07,500 --> 00:16:09,375
there. Let's add something else here. So
403
00:16:09,375 --> 00:16:11,041
the other section that we have over here
404
00:16:11,041 --> 00:16:12,666
is instruments. I'll open that up.
405
00:16:12,666 --> 00:16:14,291
There's only one instrument. That's the
406
00:16:14,291 --> 00:16:16,541
piano at the moment. You'll see here for
407
00:16:16,541 --> 00:16:18,083
those of you who ask me about this often
408
00:16:18,083 --> 00:16:20,375
that you can actually automate all kinds
409
00:16:20,375 --> 00:16:22,750
of MIDI information here and add your
410
00:16:22,750 --> 00:16:25,166
automation on automation lane there. You
411
00:16:25,166 --> 00:16:27,375
can add, you can change things about the
412
00:16:27,375 --> 00:16:30,041
audio like so. And then there's all of
413
00:16:30,041 --> 00:16:33,000
these parameters from within that plugin
414
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,541
from within the piano plugin. Which if I
415
00:16:35,541 --> 00:16:37,541
scroll down you'll see there's so many of
416
00:16:37,541 --> 00:16:40,416
them. All of those things can be
417
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:43,250
automated. This is a kind of a handy way
418
00:16:43,250 --> 00:16:45,458
if you go into this view to see what
419
00:16:45,458 --> 00:16:48,375
actually can be automated on a plugin.
420
00:16:50,583 --> 00:16:52,166
So I think things get really interesting
421
00:16:52,166 --> 00:16:55,125
when we start to automate VCA's. Now you
422
00:16:55,125 --> 00:16:57,416
may not know what a VCA is. So I'll just
423
00:16:57,416 --> 00:16:59,541
give you a quick crash course now. I'm
424
00:16:59,541 --> 00:17:00,916
going to demonstrate it to you rather
425
00:17:00,916 --> 00:17:02,583
than explain it. I'm going to select this
426
00:17:02,583 --> 00:17:05,041
piano here and this bass guitar. I've
427
00:17:05,041 --> 00:17:06,875
added bass guitar track in here. I'm just
428
00:17:06,875 --> 00:17:08,708
pressing control on the keyboard so I can
429
00:17:08,708 --> 00:17:10,500
select both of those. Then I'm going to
430
00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:12,541
right click here and then I'm going to go
431
00:17:12,541 --> 00:17:15,583
to add VCA for selected channels. I'll do
432
00:17:15,583 --> 00:17:17,791
that and you'll see that a new fader
433
00:17:17,791 --> 00:17:19,875
appears right on the end here with a nice
434
00:17:19,875 --> 00:17:22,458
red fader cap on it. It looks very very
435
00:17:22,458 --> 00:17:23,916
different and it hasn't got lots of
436
00:17:23,916 --> 00:17:26,666
options up here. VCA's are not audio
437
00:17:26,666 --> 00:17:28,708
channels of any kind. You can't do sends
438
00:17:28,708 --> 00:17:30,750
or inserts with them or anything like
439
00:17:30,750 --> 00:17:33,458
that. These act as remote controls for
440
00:17:33,458 --> 00:17:36,625
other faders. Now I created this VCA for
441
00:17:36,625 --> 00:17:39,000
the piano and the bass. So as I move it
442
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,416
up and down, you'll see the piano and
443
00:17:41,416 --> 00:17:43,791
bass faders move up and down. But notice
444
00:17:43,791 --> 00:17:46,125
they're maintaining their relationship
445
00:17:46,125 --> 00:17:47,958
with each other here. You see how the
446
00:17:47,958 --> 00:17:50,000
piano is a little bit louder, the bass is
447
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,916
a little bit quieter. Yeah, they they
448
00:17:52,916 --> 00:17:55,000
keep in line with each other or out of
449
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,375
line with each other. Now if I were to
450
00:17:56,375 --> 00:17:58,750
adjust that relationship like so, then
451
00:17:58,750 --> 00:18:00,625
the VCA is going to maintain that new
452
00:18:00,625 --> 00:18:02,750
relationship. So VCA's are kind of like
453
00:18:02,750 --> 00:18:05,708
remote controls for other faders. They're
454
00:18:05,708 --> 00:18:07,500
very very handy when you want to control
455
00:18:07,500 --> 00:18:11,666
sub mixes. Okay, so how do they relate to
456
00:18:11,666 --> 00:18:13,625
automation? So at the moment I've got the
457
00:18:13,625 --> 00:18:15,708
automation switched off for these two
458
00:18:15,708 --> 00:18:17,500
channels. But I have recorded some so
459
00:18:17,500 --> 00:18:21,583
I'll change them to read mode. Okay, and
460
00:18:21,583 --> 00:18:23,166
then I'll go back to the beginning of the
461
00:18:23,166 --> 00:18:25,333
track and I'll press A on the keyboard so
462
00:18:25,333 --> 00:18:28,000
that we can see the automation there for
463
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,291
the piano and the bass guitar. And you
464
00:18:30,291 --> 00:18:32,000
can see it's very similar to what I
465
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,583
created earlier on. It fades in and then
466
00:18:34,583 --> 00:18:36,750
it fades out again relatively soon.
467
00:18:37,208 --> 00:18:39,625
Slightly different but almost the same.
468
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,541
So now we have a VCA controller
469
00:18:42,541 --> 00:18:44,333
controlling the volume of these two
470
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:46,666
faders as well. So what happens when we
471
00:18:46,666 --> 00:18:48,458
adjust it? Well let's move halfway
472
00:18:48,458 --> 00:18:51,041
through so we can see that the faders are
473
00:18:51,041 --> 00:18:53,000
up a little bit here with the automation.
474
00:18:53,250 --> 00:18:55,166
And now I'm just going to move this VCA
475
00:18:55,166 --> 00:18:57,583
fader down a little bit. Now if you look
476
00:18:57,583 --> 00:18:59,875
at the top where the graph is you'll see
477
00:18:59,875 --> 00:19:02,208
a new gray line appearing. I'll just
478
00:19:02,208 --> 00:19:05,791
wiggle the VCA up and down so that you
479
00:19:05,791 --> 00:19:08,291
can see that gray line. So that's showing
480
00:19:08,291 --> 00:19:11,791
the new actual position of the fader.
481
00:19:12,375 --> 00:19:14,458
Okay, so it's not destroying our
482
00:19:14,458 --> 00:19:16,250
automation. It's remembering how we
483
00:19:16,250 --> 00:19:18,583
started out but it's relatively changing
484
00:19:18,583 --> 00:19:21,458
it. So it actually relatively keeps that
485
00:19:21,458 --> 00:19:23,875
kind of fade in and fade out happening.
486
00:19:24,458 --> 00:19:27,250
Very very handy indeed. We can also
487
00:19:27,250 --> 00:19:30,291
automate the VCA itself. So I'm just
488
00:19:30,291 --> 00:19:31,916
going to switch that over to right mode.
489
00:19:32,166 --> 00:19:33,625
Let's start the track at the beginning
490
00:19:33,625 --> 00:19:36,416
there and I'll mess around with that VCA.
491
00:19:36,416 --> 00:19:49,791
Okay, so now we've got a couple of things
492
00:19:49,791 --> 00:19:52,416
happening. The VCA itself is being
493
00:19:52,416 --> 00:19:54,541
automated. I'll change it to read mode
494
00:19:54,541 --> 00:19:56,583
and it's going to be moving up and down.
495
00:19:56,666 --> 00:19:58,958
And it's also going to be adjusting the
496
00:19:58,958 --> 00:20:01,041
final volume of these faders while
497
00:20:01,041 --> 00:20:03,125
maintaining the relationship between the
498
00:20:03,125 --> 00:20:05,791
two of them. Very very powerful if you
499
00:20:05,791 --> 00:20:08,208
want to create nice organic but kind of
500
00:20:08,208 --> 00:20:11,250
very controlled automation within your
501
00:20:11,250 --> 00:20:13,583
mix.(...) So there's some things that I
502
00:20:13,583 --> 00:20:15,500
would dearly love you to do. First of all
503
00:20:15,500 --> 00:20:17,416
