Couple of Automation/compression questions

Hi guys,

 

I'm in the final stage of my new EDM project, and I just have a quick question about automation.

 

Is there any way to do automation other than draw/record? For example, I want to raise the volume of one part of the song. I drag the left part up in the automation screen to 2.2, but when I pick a point where I want it to decrease, I can only get 2.4 or 2.0. Is there any way to write it in to be more exact? The same with choosing the point where I want it to increase. I can never get it exactly on the beat.

 

Finally, I was just wondering, is it advisable to have lead synths in parallel compression, or should you just do drums, bass in that, and sidechain the lead?

 

Thanks a lot

Click the automation node or line and hold the Control key for finer control.

At the top of the Arrange window, click on the Snap Mode dropdown box and enable Snap Automation and Snap to Absolute Value. Then, select Bar, Beat, Division etc.
