Generating Gain Riding Automation with SWS Loudness tool (Rapid-Fire REAPER Tutorial 101)
Hey folks!
Today's question is brought to you by the lovely Bo Danerius. We're gonna do a riff on Kenny Gioia's Gain Riding trick using SWS Loudness, the benefit being that its done offline and is item-based. As with everything else, there are workflow & result-based trade-offs, so we'll discuss some of those too!
