SkillShare MIXING and AUTOMATION IN ABLETON LIVE Bring Your Tracks To Life With Dynamics and Effects [TUTORiAL]

If you aren't in control of your dynamics you're leaving a lot of that story untold. Automation gives you the power to manipulate audio in a way you didn't know was possible. Or maybe you did, but you've been using simple automation lines going up and down on a straight slope. There are many more ways to get creative with automation shapes: square or saw waves, lines with curves, and even drawing in your own. Automation gives you the freedom of more fine-tuned creativity that can be unleashed by using shorter shapes. And I show you exactly how to make that work.
