Automating FX
- [Instructor] Just like automation of volume on a lead vocal can help make your mix more exciting and focused, automation on effects parameters can spice up vocals in a mix as well.

So here in the bridge of the song, I've already set up a delay send, so off the lead vocal across bus one, I've set it to send to a delay track. And this track already has a delay plug-in. So at this point, to hear the delay, I can dial up the bus send and we'll hear the delay. It sounds like this. (light jazz with vocals) So it's a real, as you can hear it bouncing out, it's a really dramatic delay. It wouldn't be appropriate for the whole song, but I wanna show you how you can use automation here to set up a special effect at the end of this bridge to lead back into the song. So what we're gonna do first is automate the send to turn up only during the end of this…
