A cool little trick I figured out for outros of songs that Fade Out, is to automate high and low pass filter sweeps on the master bus, to make it sound like the music is getting further away as it's getting quieter.

[@BarenLevi]

A rule that EVERYONE should do to fix their mixes is watch all of colts videos twice. as soon as he releases a new video watch it twice and then another if you got time. There is literally so much content in these videos you miss 50% of it the first time. THX COLT

[@DavidGee]

please make a Video about the dynamic of a song in a mix

[@johnwalter6410]

that's literally what hes talking about in this Entire video

[@ELLIOT8209]

@@johnwalter6410 nope you are incorrect. Listen to what he says @2:20

[@danielabilez3619]

It's a zen thing. All things are of two. Got it! Good presentation Skippy. Thank you

[@LaurenPassarelli]

So great and again, teaching things you don't hear anywhere else. Very cool.

[@visionstudios7533]

Great Vid! To save heaps of time: CTRL>OPT>CMD click on any parameter to enable plug in automation

[@jwester7009]

Such a great presentation! There are really unlimited ways to be creative and make every mix sound unique and interesting

[@garymccoy6564]

Honestly, it seems that "unique" is the opposite of what this guy is going for.

[@d.m.ebeats9013]

I just recently discovered how to automate 3rd party plugins and thier parameters in cubase 12.it was the best thing I have ever wanted in my mix.i tried looking for toturials on KZbin but non ever showed me how to automate 3rd party plugins and their parameters.what a game changer for my mixing.

[@ThisMichaelBrown]

Thanks Colt, some nice tips!

[@audiodude]

Another well done video I am impressed with your technique and you even helped this old guy learn some easier ways of tweaking. Thank you

[@yourstrulyjack3953]

Colt is a great professor of Production. Every video is much appreciated. Thank you Colt!

[@RobbSutherland]

This is the most useful and succinct video I’ve ever seen on automation. I really want to go play with some of these ideas! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You’re fast becoming one of my favourite channels.

[@devanteanderson243]

Best video on the internet for producers! Thank you for this!!

[@spencergroup]

You brought up a situation I had a question about. I have a song where I sing a pre-chorus back to back. I sing it at a lower range the first time and on the second pass I sing it an octave up. This automation technique, I believe, will help my mix a lot. Thanks.

[@michaeltablet8577]

Thank you so very much for making these videos! I know it's a lot of work. God bless you and yours and Happy Holidays. And thanks again Sweetwater! Sponsoring our favorite channels is another reason I will be a lifetime customer!

[@bradwhite8495]

This is one of the best videos I have seen regarding automation of plugins. Thanks Colt!

[@dudenamedskip]

Listening to you stop the track before the drop over and over, gimme the drop 😭 lol... Killer info in this one.

[@mickpowell8391]

Excellent video Colt.....this is extremely useful.....not only the hows, but the whys. Thanks!

[@chrisosborneband4941]

one of your best videos ever - thanks!!!

[@lucylebronhernandez8126]

I like your lighting it feels like I am there and we jamming 🧡🦾🦾🌶📣🥁

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

This video is so helpful. love the channel

[@tallmccartneymusic]

This is great info. Can you make a video about the importance of order your plugins are in? Nobody talks about this and I feel like it’s extremely important.

[@clydedowney2620]

Stair-step can be a tongue twister!!! Nice Video! Thanks Colt!

[@samprock]

I knew that automation is one greatest breakthrough for a modern musician. I always automated things in Korg Gadget when playing on iPhone. Though it took me years to make it norm when make music in DAW with "serious" tools, beyond reverb/delay and like compressors. Enjoyed you vid as an inspiration!!!

[@samprock]

P.S. Colt, now as happy owner of Sub37, you likely want some of your inner-Stephan-Bodzin to play that Moog even nicer :) Sub37 VST is so cool to automate dozen knobs with ease with impactful results! (try not only automating filter, but drive and beating freq, it's real phunn)

[@THEANARKY]

Hey Colt, your voice audio mix on this actual video is perfect. It's rich sounding, has perfect body, and not over compressed. Can you give us a video tutorial on your process from recording yourself, to the final video upload? What mic are you using? How far away is your mic? because we cannot see it in the video. Lastly, what's your plugin mix chain? Thanks for the great videos. You bring much insight for production, and we appreciate you.

[@ColtCapperrune]

Thanks! I have a whole tutorial over on my other channel! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4GpdmyJmdBpmtE

[@Project-SILA]

This are the "brain unlock" videos that i like. This tips are very usefull as a starting point to get creative in a mix. Thank you for sharing your konwledge, greetins from Argentina.

[@brucehathcockmusic]

Thanks for this I love the instrumental too by the way. Really good.

[@RaveSongRecords]

Fantastic content!! I use automation often, but have bin using the faders on automation. Learned new techniques today!!! 😊

[@ghostofpanama622]

Really excellent and practical overview. Very helpful.

[@TheGRider56]

Excellent. Thank you, Colt!

[@chrisrsp2025]

Hey Colt! Thanks for this video, I love putting automation delay on vocals like you mentioned. The last word of a line thats soo cool lol,

[@kingmatthewa]

YES!!! I love the "stair" explanation. When producing an artist/performer, I always say that EVERY song is/should be a musical and emotional roller coaster. Love the channel, Colt! Cheers from Kansas City!

[@ColtCapperrune]

Thanks for watching!!

[@demondrive147]

great tip on drum bus atomation, thank you sir!

[@ajcohen2621]

And thanks I remember asking for this colt your a legend

[@CreativeMindsAudio]

good stuff for the most part. I do delay throws by turning it on and off (via send mute) that way i don't accidentally get part of a note or two I don't want to hear and it's easier and faster to use mutes than send level. I DO automate the delay level and the send level at times needed, but to turn on/off delays I've found it a bit cleaner and easier. I'm not saying you are wrong here, just feels like a slower way to do it (it's how i started with it), but it does replicate how one would do delay throws on a console. as far as using different tracks for the vocalist, i will often do this if the verse and chorus are radically different where I'd need completely different settings, but i will split the vocal at those parts even if it is one take. It is much faster than automating every parameter. I too often ride the drum bus and especially the parallel comp. Though this made me think about actually riding the threshold on the drum bus compressor.

[@kodykindhart5644]

Great advice

[@fifty7beats]

I love this video! Thank you Colt!

Hey colt do you have or going to do a full session in your new studio. Curious how it would look in your place. ✌️

[@GloveBunniesVideos]

This is a great video. Thanks so much.

[@RathCampbell]

Solid advice. Thanks man!

[@malhaven1]

Dude. Being a person who, on a six day a week requirement, must determine if a person has a little "BUZZ" when they come to work; Would I be "out of line" if I suggested that , in this video , you appear, to me , as being a slight bit "under the influence" ? This is cool because you are NOT driving or operating any kind of machinery. I LOVE what you do. This is OK. You did not crash into my car with my wife and kids inside. You help me make my music sound better. DO NOT let your base inclinations take you from us. Then...I might be wrong and I am just a pucker butt. Help me out ...please.

[@ColtCapperrune]

The only buzz I had is over caffeination from espresso 😂 On average I have about 1 drink a night, 3 - 4 days a week. So no problems here!

[@kurtcameron7562]

another great video

[@sooesoss6063]

Great info!!!

[@jarikoskenniska299]

Very usefull trix, thx!

[@Jake_Sachs]

Automation is the biggest benefit to having a control surface imo. Writing automation in real time with actual faders and knobs is so much easier, more efficient, more natural, and more musical than clicking in points with a mouse.

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Another Great Video Colt. ( I've been doing this for 12 +yrs ...learned on my own w/ no KZbin ) Like you said, It's a MUST and this is how it's done most of the time. :) George Amodei

[@66fitton]

Excellent tips! I'm thinking that Cubase is a lot easier to do all this with lol. I'm a cubaser for 4 years and have zero experience with pro tools. All the same in the end but seems like extra steps in pro tools.

[@stevetaylor1085]

[@hypermanjoe]

Good Stuff!

[@uwimanasamuel447]

[@diegooliveirabenjamin]

yes buddy!

[@SmallGunBigHeart]

So helpful thanks bro

[@PaulEubanks]

I really like this take on automation vs. music dynamics, but holy cow ProTools is a complete kludge when it comes to automation/modulation! It feels like a 1990's era DAW compared to say Ableton or Bitwig, they just blow ProTools out of the water for the ease of creating automation/modulation.

[@zazoomatt]

Happiness !

[@planetclay]

my biggest complaint when it comes to plugins (and we're talking some surprisingly major names which do this)....is/are plugins which automate beautifully while you're mixing in your DAW only to flatline your edit-parameters upon exporting your track. in which case, if those edits mean that much to you, you have to record to audio in real-time to preserve the edits. or you can redo the track using another plugin and hope for the best....whatever one decides, one things is for sure> automation rocks....!

[@ajcohen2621]

Can you review the Adam audio a77h

[@philipb.3529]

How mutch db in movement is good for a track (volume automation) I know it can be different so every song. But I like a number to start with, like calculating the reverb

[@samuelbassani1845]

Hey Cole!! That's some awesome content as always man! Sent you an email a little while ago =)

[@alexmasters23]

don't know if this was on purpose but interestingly each point of automation you made for the filter sweep was on the downbeat of a measure

[@sswann979]

I'm a new viewer and really impressed by your passion. How can i retain your mixing services sir?

[@noamtoven5463]

It’s on his website

[@davidonei5048]

I want a sample of the music you created

[@AdventureswithJack453]

Is there a way to record the automation as you adjust the faders while the song is playing?

[@adamkiefel79]

Cool video these are lacking a lot

[@istvantothh.6046]

Can I get the title of intro music?

[@ToHerbiarz]

Who won these Mixcubes?

[@ColtCapperrune]

A guy named Alex in California. Thanks for entering!!

[@alekp6822]

Do you print and automate the whole mix as well? or stems? thanks

[@michaelbehm6571]

Trying to say thank you but KZbin has fucked up the comments so much it’s impossible to say you like it.

[@ILoveTelecasters]

I hate automation, so I’ll do everything I can to avoid it. I’ll split a lead vocal to 15 takes with snall eq adjustments. There’s just nothing worse than an unusable fader after doing automation imo 😝

[@13thJ]

Throughout the decades people have been slowed down in their workflow because of multiple words being assigned to the same thing. I am specifically talking about high pass filter‘s versus high cut filters or low pass filter‘s versus low cut filters. There is no point in ever calling any of them pass. Everything is already passing when you start to use your filter you are cutting away from everything that is passing. The person who originally started calling things high pass or low pass was a douche bag who did not understand how language works and for some reason a certain amount of people are determined to hold onto that troglodytes dialect. This video is awesome I like the guy who makes it but please stop calling it hi pass or low pass that’s troglodyte language the fact is you’re cutting explain to me how you’re passing some thing it was already being passed. Mic Drop 💥Breaking News💥 Low pass filters and high pass filters are forever banned from every intelligent musical conversation and if you were standing within arms reach of any person who decides to engage in using that dialogue you now have permission to cut them high or low! This decree is here buy sealed in the universe by one crazy madman who happens to be intelligent about one fucking thing
