Logic Pro 8: Touch Automation

Video Transcript

"Now touch is similar to write. Now when you touch something you are writing what's going on. But when you actually touch a fader, what happens is, I might move a fader up, and what happens is, when I take my hand off the fader, it's going to move right back to where it was before, so this is good for little minor adjustments. So if you need- somebody's speaking, and at one point it just gets a little bit quiet, just for a couple of words, so what you can do is, while it's playing, just boost it up a couple of decibels while that small part, that soft part comes on, and then let go, and it'll go right back to the original way it was. So if you just want to affect some little segment or something this is the perfect tool to use. So once again, when you're using the touch, it basically, you can record like a touch that you do, but as soon as you take your finger off of it, it's going to move back. So when you're done touching it, or affecting it, it's going to go back to its original position, and continue going the way it was. So it's only for like small little parts of your track."
