What is Automation?

Automation is the changing of a parameter over time, such as volume, panning, filters – almost any control in Live. Automation is like having infinite hands on a mixing board, doing exactly what you tell them to do, thereby allowing for you to create anything you can imagine. And in Live 9, automation has now found its way into Session View, opening the door to making even more inspired music.

Introduction To Automation

If you’ve ever been stumped by Automation or just couldn’t quite figure out why the Groove pool even existed, then this course will clear all the cobwebs. Ableton Certified Trainer Ian Gallagher takes the reins in this 3 part course covering everything from the basics of making your own Grooves, to using Automation like a savvy musical magician. After rocking Grooves & Automation you will be able to:

  • Know the various ways to apply Grooves in Live
  • Make your own Grooves
  • Use the Groove Pool’s sophisticated tools to get the most out of your Grooves
  • Automate almost any parameter in Live
  • Know how to expertly use breakpoints and create automation curves
