![]() ![]() Right click anywhere along the line and select reduce number of points. To help with this, you can change the maximum number of points in the envelope. I can click anyone of these points to move them around and make adjustments to the envelope but as you can see this is a little hard to manage because Reaper has created so many points during the writing of the automation. (keyboard music) So if I zoom in a little bit, you can see that there are all these little points that make up the automation envelope. So I'll click on the automation button again and change the mode back to trim read. To play back what I recorded, I'll need to change the mode back to trim read. That's because we're still in write mode. (keyboard music) What was happening there is that Reaper was overriding the change I had originally made. Let's take a listen to the effect it had on the track. So as you can see, Reaper was creating these points in the volume lane connected to the way I was controlling the volume knob. (keyboard music) Now I'm just gonna hit stop. (keyboard music) And I'll adjust the volume a little bit. So I'll just make sure that my playhead is at the beginning, and I'm just gonna click play. Let me show you how automation works in write mode. This is attached to the track, so if I were to move the keys track around, the volume lane would follow. As you can see, and automation lane was created in addition to the media track it corresponds to. I'll go ahead and close this window for now. ![]() ![]() In write mode, Reaper will record the adjustments that I make to the volume knob, or the fader and the mixer, while the track is playing. For this demonstration, let's choose write. Also, we're going to select the automation mode. The controls that say pre-effects refer to the controls that you can automate before effects are applied. So if you're using effects on your track, the regular volume automation will automate volume after effects are applied. This one refers to the control of volume post effects. Once you do that, you can see all the different controls on this track that you can automate. Right now it says trim, and that refers to the type of automation that is currently active. To start the automation process, click on the button that looks like points on a graph. I'll play around with the keyboard track here, and just go ahead and solo it, and also stretch it out to make it a little bit easier to see. With volume, for example, you're basically creating a graph, or envelope, that Reaper will read to adjust the volume of certain parts of tracks automatically. With automation, you can create specific instructions for the behavior of your controls that Reaper will automatically perform every time you place your project. Of course, you can do this by cutting sections out and placing them on their own tracks, but Reaper's powerful automation tools make that unnecessary. For example, bringing up the keyboards for the chorus or featuring a guitar solo. At some point, while you're mixing, you may want a certain part of a track to be louder or softer than the rest of it. ![]()
