Sir, you are a god. You just answered a lot of questions and opened a lot of new doors.

Hi Chris, thanks for the great vid! Two things to consider: First, when you cut parts and adapt the volume of one, the cuts have to be on zero-crossings, else you might get clicks at the cuts. Second, you can also use the draw-tool directly on the part and draw in new volume-curves! This has the advantage, the the waveform-disply in the part directly reflect the new, modified volume! best, Ralf

Thanks Chris. Truly appreciate all your tricks and tips. Always helpful! I use automation but you make me realize I need to pay a bit more attention to it.

You're the man. I was looking for an automation video tailored to Cubase a few days ago and there it is!

Well done Chris in showing the different options here. Particularly like the recording of the Vocal Rider trick. It seems to me the vocal track mixing begins before this step though. The first step is selecting a take or combining parts from multiple takes. This might make a cool video to show people about using Track Lanes, the Comp Tool, Clean up Lanes and Track Versions, etc to piece together a vocal track from multiple takes. For this step of gross normalization of the volume, I personally prefer modifying the volume of the track rather than automation, primarily because it is always visible on the track view and easily adjustable on the display. This can also be helpful if you decide to later replace a section from a different take, stretch it or otherwise modify it as the volume is portable with that particular event.

Super excited about this series. I had NO idea that this was required/suggested as I thought that having a little bit of compression inserterted on vocal track (or even at input level) would be enough to even things out sufficiently before mixing. Dam, I have lots to learn!

A video series from Chris. That is long expected. Thank you for your work.

Thank you so much for this. I'm so glad I found your channel.. not only do you provide valuable production information, but you also present it using Cubase which is fantastic! It's so frustrating when you want to learn a mix or production trick, but do not understand anything because of all the weird pro tools bussing and routing and what not 😀

Nice One Chris

Thank you very much for this lesson! Very good idea!

Another great video, thanks so much!

Very niiiiiice man. I always automated the channel fader ... seems like a noob mistake now that i've watched your video here .... it makes soo much sense :D thanks a lot!

Superb tip, Chris. If necessary, with voice or other instruments, I usually do it in the editing session. Cheers!

Thank You That You share your Knowlegde About Mixing With us!!! Can't tell how much it helps me and I'm Pretty sure a lot of other People 2!!! I wanna say Thanks!!! ❤ Best Dude Eva

My go-to technique for vocal mix prep, definitely recommended.

That was a great video Chris. Always found that putting automation on a vocal track was verry dificult but thanks to your Cubase tips things will be much easier. I love you man! Cheers.

good work, very inspiring, greatings from Vienna

merci man

Great man. Kindly made videos on Male voice also. And also made a video on vocals mixing of Vocals only song and Vocals Choirs song. Because there is no video of mixing and mastering vocals choirs song.

Hi sir, hope you and your family are well

Great video! I’m looking forward to this great Series! What about Mautovolume, is it comparable to WaveRider?

Best tutorials

Another Great Video Chris! I have vocal rider as well, would you consider doing a Vocal Rider Tutorial?

I guess the difference between gain automation and clip-splice-gain-reduction, the second might introduce clicks or pops if not crossfaded correctly, where the prior method won't. Thanks. Waiting for the next episode.

I didnt know about the waveform image on the automation lane thing. Thanks!! I’m using cubase since 2005 and I didn’t know that! Too bad the image doesn’t correspond with the automation. Cubase needs to update the clip gain editing of the events

Chris, I spend a lot of time before starting a mix creating automation points for every event. Then I can easily adjust each event while in a mix workflow without having to create points each time. Is there a way to select a bunch of events and have the automation nodes created? Or even to select a range and have the automation nodes created WITHOUT having to adjust the automation up or down? I dont want to have to move each range up or down to create the nodes, I just want them created so I can grab the handle and adjust the event. Any ideas on this?

Does Waves do this automatically? I'm very confused, I've been doing this anyway (lowering/raising volume on selected sections - im a beginner btw) but have no idea what the pregain settings mean, or why you had select something from the drop down menu in order to do this?

Would you recommend putting vocal rider on your input buss ?

Superlike

If all you're doing is slicing the event to bring the clip gain down, is it necessary to do a crossfade for those events?

For the ones that are just lazy, check ERA Voice Leveler plugin: accusonus.com/products/audio-repair/era-bundle-pro

Why not just do volume automation instead of pre-gain automation?

Salim, My project is giving disk cache overload. Im on 9.5 OS windows 10

Hi Chris, is it possible to copy the automation from one track and past it in another track?

Yesssssss

Hi Chris how can i add input filter pregain automation panel for signal view??

I tried to do the same you did in 6:45 but my selection tool does not do the same, I can't edit the same way you did in the video. It this a new feature of cubase 9.5? I have Cubase 9. Thanks.

Do you work instruments the same way before you hit the plugins?

Download option please.. on Android KZfaq app

👍

There is also clip gain n itz visual but people say it could create artifacts. Hm

Instead of this approach why not put two compressors as the first thing in your chain. I can appreciate automation more surgical than a compressor. Just another approach to consider.
