Smart Control and Automation in Music
Welcome to this part of the course!
Overview
We're going to explore smart control and automation within the instruments you use. This involves:
- Creating Contours: Establishing arcs from the beginning to the end of a piece of music.
- Utilizing Parameters: Using filters and reverbs to add body to a track.
Apple Loops and Automation
We'll be discussing Apple Loops and how to turn smart control and automation ideas within a region into an Apple Loop for:
- Future Recall: Retrieving ideas for the project you're currently working on.
- Idea Pool: Adding to a collection that can be accessed in various other projects.
When working on an album with a consistent sound palette across different songs, these Apple Loops allow you to pull in ideas quickly and efficiently.
