Description: Now that you’ve created your song in Digital Performer 8, it’s time to apply automation and start mixing! You’ll learn what DP8 can do for the perfect mix. You’ll see some automation techniques, including the use of the Pencil tool, which allows you to control automation with extreme precision, making your mix much better. You’ll also learn all about pitch control, compiling takes, and Freeze Tracks. Next, the Audio-to-MIDI function is demonstrated. You’ll also learn all about creating groups and external MIDI control. One of DP8’s best features is “Chunks.” Other DAWs don’t have this feature. You’ll learn how to create “Chunks” and how to use them to create new, complex arrangements.
