About me:
My name is Anthony Chisnall. I'm a musician & songwriter.
My channel is these things:
1. A place to share my music - both songs and instrumental pieces. Much of the music I write features in...
2. Tutorial videos about music composition and production
3. An outlet for me to discuss all things musical - including technical break-downs of software and tools that I use, as well as more wide-ranging discussions of topics that interest me.
I play the guitar (electric, acoustic, and bass), and record all of my own synth-based sounds myself too, but I can't sing very well (huge understatement!), and so my wife, Pauline, who has a lovely singing voice, has come to my rescue. You'll hear her on all of my songs.
All of my music is written in Steinberg's Cubase (currently Cubase 12).
I try very hard to make my videos PRACTICAL and no-nonsense - if I don't use a feature, I'm not going to waste your time trying to sound like an expert on it! This is the stuff I use day-to-day, so I think that's also what you'd like to hear me talking about.

Great video, is it possible to unlock/unlink the automation lane from the parent track?

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Kind of. Automation is fundamentally track-based, so there's no concept of unlocking the track per se, but you CAN unlock it from the events that contain the music. The option is called "automation follows events", which you'll find in the 'Edit' menu.

[@ErixSamson]

Trim is like automation of automation.

[@OneManAndHisSongs]

Indeed :)
