Great introduction and demonstration of this topic. Would be great if there were step action tables on the website we could use after watching this video to practice what we just learned.
Thank you for producing this series of videos - very helpful to a new customer.
Thank you very much for this tutorial! This answers a lot of questions. Can’t wait to try :-)
It's 2019 and i still use my Steinberg Houston controler to write automation in Cubase Pro 10. Fantastic piece of hardware
Great video. Thanks!
Incredible explanation, very eye opening.
Thank you for the great tutorial
If I could change just one thing about Cubase it would be automation, more tools are needed, it is so difficult to line things up and get levels back to zero
Thanks great explainations
Now i got much better

How to choose &use automation
Some fantastic tutorial & tips video's on here, thanks for them. What was that old saying about old dogs & new tricks. I thought 9.5 pro was great but I can feel an upgrade to 10 pro coming :-)
Nice video!
I really dig how your showing other things in Cubase instead of the same thing everybody covers. There is a way to run Cubase and every exercise you can run in Cubase to run it normally is good. But to know the tricks Like the one you showed how you automate a sounds and Repeat it many times over for a great sounding Part to that piece of Automated music. To know how to run Cubase is good. But to know the secrets like innovation that you can make something out of nothing and do it quickly with Quality and Quantity at the same time make a extraordinary piece of music out of it, in no time at all is where it's at. That's how I want to be. To take something out of nothing and make a extraordinary piece of ingeniouseness. And in no time at all. To be consistantly good at it. That I never get borred of it so I keep on with the same excitement as the first day I started to record with Cubase. I like how Cubase is growing as well . So I will never get bored of learning more great tips and Tricks of the trade. Thanks Another good Tutorial.
Thanks y'all! This info is great. I've tried some automation since I got Cubase 10 Pro and I think it's capabilities are awesome. I have a question, can you explain Read in a little more detail? Thanks and great job!
Thanx
I use I am going to use it more thanks for the creative Ideas I love Cubase Pro 10,Thanks to Greg Ondo for the Google Hangout so helpful learning Cubase.Thanks to the sofware DAW Cubase developers for listen to input from users a winning aproach keep up the great job.Cubase pro 10 is worth the price the Daw gets better & better every version .
I used to just perform all of my sweeps, pans, fades, crossfades Live when mastering. I used to think... someone needs to come up with a system that records my movements so I can go back and know what I changed during my live master. Then one of my friends showed me automation curves... my jaw hit the floor. I now swear by automation curves.
I hear Andy's voice and it's like [exhaaaaale] 'Everything's going to be alright.'
How do we automate a parameter by drawing only? How do we choose between ramp or jump modes?
Thank you! but please Steinberg if you read this, please fix this only bug about automation that prevents me from buying Cubase. The bug is: when I'm automating a volume fader in "Touch mode" automation, the fader doesn't go back to the original position when I let go the fader (the way it's supposed to be). I know that I can do a workaround by adding two value points at the beginning and end of a track, but imagine I have a big project with lots of tracks! You probably would say this is normal... but it's not, please look at Logic Pro or Pro Tools... this is a very basic yet essential feature and sadly other DAWs work perfectly fine except Cubase
I'm recording a cover and i'm very new to this. I used to just record myself with my phone and play the original song on my pc speakers and play the guitar part with my amp and go with the take i felt was better. But now I'm trying to use a daw to record the guitars. I've noticed that for the intro the main riff is played once with a phaser and the when the rest lf the band comes in the phaser is turned off but an octaver is turned on. Is there a way i can automate this pedal switch using bias fx for example?
Are these features available in cubase 9?
Hello, yes they are.
How do u automate the master channel
Right above all your tracks is a little folder called input/output channels. Click the folder icon to open this. On the Stereo out, right click and choose show automation. In that lane, you can draw your automation in. Another way to do it is to click on write on the stereo out in your mixer (hit f3), press play and change some parameter. The automation will record and the automation track will appear automatically. Just remember to uncheck write afterwards (but keep the read button engaged).
Fucken hell this was so useful thanks for looking out for us scrubs
I might be the only person on here that still does not get it,and I've been making snyth tunes on my laptop for a couple of months already and still have not used automation yet.
A good friend told me about automation but haven't used it at all and I think I'm doing ok with out it,so far so good I guess..
Day-ta
is this lip-synced? something feels off
Very helpful in explaining what you can do. ****** useless in explaining slowly so dumb people like me can understand, how to do it!
wasting the time. we have the manual
Have to say that I'm a little envious! I could never do without video tutorials and just read the manual. We're all different in how we learn things the most efficient way.
