Pro Tools - Creative Uses for Pan and Volume Automation w/the Pencil Tool

In this video we look at some basic ideas you need to know about automation with the pencil tool in Pro Tools and how we can use these ideas in a creative way.

Since we are focusing on music, our Grid ruler is set to Bars|Beats. You can change the ruler type and resolution type (i.e. Samples/10 Samples) and the same rules apply to how our pencil tool responds.

This video focuses on PAN and VOLUME Automation, but, you will use these same concepts for other types of automation in Pro Tools.

You can combine these ideas with plugins or other types of automation to create very sophisticated sounds, sample production, sound design, and of course as a compositional mixing tool.
