At the moment my songs structural instruments constantly sound the same throughout the song, and I’d like to know what’s the best way to add variation automation to them so that they change over time.
I’m assuming one way is by automating the filter cutoff, can you give me any tips so that I can use the same instrument, but it does’nt sound like a constant loop.
Automation is the gift from the gods. Automating filter is a simple way to start, but try a variety of things and you’ll soon find something that really works.
Ok thanks guy’s, so there’s no specific way set in stone I guess, more experimenting so really, that’s my problem sometimes with things like that, I get the feeling that if I’m not doing it the way everyone else is, I’m doing it wrong, but if it ends up sounding good it does’nt matter how it was done I suppose.
Yeah, that would make it a lot more interesting too, like making the sound thicker and thiner over time. I heard a lot of things like that, like opening the release just before something extra is added to the tune.
