I use this quite often. In my latest song.... Tropical Sky, I used this along with copy and paste to get the light intro that builds.... volume envelopes absolutely rock.


Thank you. I'll make a mental note of this but my DAW experience is so limited I don't know what a volume envelope is. (But I will learn!)


Envelopes.... volume or panning as well as other things... are essentially automated control over a specific parameter in the track.

You can automate or envelope almost anything you want. I generally use the volume and panning envelopes. With more than a few tracks in a project, adjusting volume and panning on individual tracks manually is an impossible task. Envelopes get the job done.


That sounds super useful. I'm sure I'll be using those "just as soon as I'm able" ("Rocky Raccoon")
