Video Transcript

"In pro tools you can store automation you change the levels and things and you can record the actual changing of the levels. So what I am going to show you is that every track has a bunch of different options and different screens that you look at. On the audio track you also go to the volume. Right and this line also represents the volume of the track so if at the second bar I want the volume to go down a little bit I can actually high light just that part and change it. So when this audio plays once it reaches this point the volume is going to go down a certain amount of decibels. It?s going to go down negative ten point eight decibels from zero. Which it was at. Alright if I want to I could do this I could also do this I could copy this information to the next track. I could go bring the next one to the automation volume so that every single one of these does the same exact thing. It will change at that point. So when it plays and it reaches past that point all the fingers will go just ten decibels down and then once that little section is over its going to go right back up to where it was ."
