when i create an automation point with the mouse it creates two points do you know how to turn off that function? because yours didnt do it

[99ZoneProducers]

@saeir, i dont know about this kind of option and cant think of reason why there should be one like that.

all i can think of is some kind of an error with cubase it self.

i dont get what the point of adding automation is, it seems to me all it does is that it lowers and raises the volume/effect of tracks, is there something i missing?

@Plan32Music

First let me say that this video is to show how to record automation, not how to use it in a song.

Automation helps you make changes through the song, adding tension using automation to change volume for vocal or lead, opening the filter cutoff on various tracks, increasing the reverb amount /.send level a break.

If no sound in a song evolved in any way, than all songs would be very boring.

modulation is also a useful tool, but its not always enough.

automation in cubase is really stupid, Reason has best autmation system ever

[saeir]

@99ZoneProducers aaah i figured it out, you have to click and drag from the automation line or else it will create 2 points. thanks anyway, great video :)
