How Automation Shaped the Dynamic Feel of My XSpace Composition

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.

That sounds incredible, Shahriar Vaghfrahmani!

Extremely cool, Shahriar Vaghfrahmani - the score sounds amazing and adds an epic quality to the visuals. Bravo!

Kerry Kennard

Cool - automation is the ‘sweet sauce’ - pardon expression- making our music stand out.

I heard this week Steinberg placed the Dorico editing into version 11 ! Now you can do extra amazing music work as well.
