In this video, I dive into the details of how automation played a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of my original composition for the XSpace project. By leveraging automation in Cubase, I was able to precisely control volume levels, panning, and expressive elements throughout the piece. This technique allowed me to emulate the nuanced performance of real musicians, crafting a sound that feels authentic and alive. As a result, about 90% of the mixing was accomplished during the recording and composition phase itself, creating the impression of a live orchestra performing the piece. This approach enhanced the overall realism and emotional depth of the music, making it sound as though an entire orchestra was playing, despite being produced in a solo studio setting.
