Lesson on Using Automation in Logic Pro

Hi Paul. I have some questions about some functions in Logic Pro X. Can you help me? – Laurie

I received the above message from Laurie and we arranged to connect for a remote support lesson.

Once we were connected via WhatsApp and AnyDesk, Laurie explained that he wanted instrument sounds to change in volume and tone throughout the duration of his song and I told him the best way to do that was with automation. We then spent our lesson time covering:

Overview of how automation works in Logic Pro
The difference between Track and Region automation
How to select a parameter to be automated (volume, mute, pan etc)
How to edit automation with cursor tools
How to record automation in real time
The Reading and Writing options when using automation
How to assign MIDI controller faders to automation parameters
How to automate parameters within Insert FX (Reverb/delay levels, cut-off, etc)

At the end of the session, Laurie now had a strong grasp of the options for automation in Logic and was confident using them for himself. He kindly took the time to leave me this nice review:

*‘…helpful in soving problems with Logic Pro…’*
