Automation (lesson 17) - Posted on 2018-06-02 by Hunter Rick

Today a client came in. He was a rapper and had my mentor make a beat for him before rapping his bars over the track in the isolation booth. This client didn't seem to have any musical background and so my mentor found it tough to communicate with him about what changes needed to be made to the track. However, he showed me with patience and perseverance you can still make the client happy. This is an important part of the work, as not every client you have will be easy to deal with and you msut learn to be a people person in order to stay in this business. We also talked a little about automation and how it can be used to create changes in your mix automatically with no buttons needing to be pushed. When you render out the track, protools will render it with automation intact.
