Anything useful that I forgot?

You are the best. This is the clearest discussion of Cubase automation. Very very helpful thank you!

You do a great job of explaining and keeping the viewer’s attention all the way through. Very helpful. Thank you.

Just what the doctor ordered. Excellent follow-up Maarten! Much appreciated!

I love the efficiency of your videos - so quick to explain yet so clear to understand fully which makes them a super reference tool mid project when trying to recall these methods & features! 🙏

Great!!! That automationpanel were previously a little intimidating, but now I can dig in! Much appreciated!!!

Cubase has absolute great automation functions! I use automation panel and it's keycommands every day.

Again, very valuable. 😁 Thanks Maarten.

The trimming of automation tip was very helpful. Now I won't have to add a VCA just to adjust an automated track a bit. Thanks

Thanks, Maarten! I've been using Cubase since V7 and I didn't have all of this figured out yet. Please keep these deep dives coming.

Thanks, so much, Maarten :-)

You videos are extremely useful, clear and relevant.

Awesome video like everything of yours . There is just one point missing . "Touch" mode in volume automation doesn't work as it should at least for the first pass. Fader unfortunately doesn't come back to the previous "initial" value unless you'll use a "workaround" to insert manually an automation point - value at the end of the track you want to be automated . Same is true for the trim automation . It's not a fault of yours . It is just how Cubase is working for so many years ( Nuendo is not the case for some reason ! ) . To be more clear : Touch mode NEEDS to see a value in the timeline ( the initial one or whatever ) AFTER the part you want to be automated to behave correctly ( so it makes sense to go and put it at the end ) ... As of today ( a bug with C13.0.1 ? ) you'll need to insert 2 automation points - the first at the start and the second one at the end of the track - seems like something "broke" even to the workaround ? ) ... Everything above of course is irrelevant if you just use your mouse / trackball to "draw" automation but using a fader is a different story altogether.

I use to be afraid of the automation panel. Ima sit down with this video and practice along and take notes.

Well done Maarten!

Thanks for your work.

Very helpful, thanks for the tut.

Dear Sir.. Your reviews r awesome.. 👍

thank you very much for this tutorial!

I had no idea! Thanks for a great video. I learned so much about automation in this video that it will actually change my workflow (for the better!)

Thank you very much for the lesson I summarized part of it

Great Tutorial!

Thank you

Excellent. Thank you!

Great video :)

Fantastic!

very instructive. thanks.

Nice!!!!! Thank you!

Thank you very much for your dedication, very useful. Sometime please could you provide something to learn how to use spectre layer 9 pro? I bought it but really am very confused Thanks for giving us precious information about Cubase

It may be a bit esoteric, but any video you care to do about setting up MPE instruments and editing MPE data would be appreciated. I’ve been setting up an MPE instrument in various DAWs and Cubase is one of the harder ones to get operational…

Excellent explanation. I have a question. Is there a way for the automation to be guided by the audio transient. I think of it to automate, for example, reverbs that follow the dynamics of a voice. Thanks

How do I do a slight adjustment? In protools if you hold CTRL it'll do a slight adjustment

Is there a way to loop a section that has automation to Rewrite it in that loop to make it Bang on. And as in nuendo, u have Preview as well.

Automation is the single most complex, and often inscrutable, function of a mixer. That was true on hardware mixers and only became worse with DAWs. When a function you use for easily half of all your work involves setting of 30-40 parameters constantly, throughout the process, the application designer has failed badly. My work is virtually all in Pro Tools but the general rules apply to Cubase as well. We’ve taken the time to anticipate many actions to ease the burden of mixing, mostly in the domain of DSP processes. Even more time should be devoted to this wretched excess of controls to do our main job of mixing. Console designers worked much harder toward this goal than any DAW maker. Certain changes follow each other logically and predictably enough to program them to change themselves. To me, that is a no-brainer. Again, if 30-40 choices need to be made? FAIL. Give the mixer hardware intelligence. Not artificial intelligence, but carefully considered intelligence to take giant leaps we make all the time, for us.

10:20 I wish the channel fader worked as a Trim for the volume automation..... 🥲👐
