How to Draw Volume Automation Logic Pro 8

Video Transcript

The next thing I'm going to talk about is automation, so drawing the volume. Like say you want volume to come down just for a part of a verse, or a certain word to come down, what you're going to do is you want to be able to see the volume first. So I'm going to go to my track and I'm going to turn on the automation by pressing "a" without the caps lock on. So when I press "a", the tracks are going to expand and it's going to show basically another level right under it and this is the automation. This you can actually record how the volume goes up and down. So what I can do is go to my tool, my drawing tool, hit that, hit that, and actually draw in how I want the grand piano to play as I'm playing. So if I hit it from the beginning, it's going to kind of go up and down a little bit. The same thing with the drums. I can do the same exact thing. Now what I could also do is just take it completely off by just highlighting it and just deleting it. I can go here, just bring it all the way back.
