Writing automation without writing automation (Parameter Modulation in REAPER Pt. 1)
In this video, we’re looking at Parameter Modulation using Audio Signal (sidechain)
This is a really powerful feature, that let’s you assign any audio signal to any parameter or any plugin! We can use it for sound design to create dynamic effects that respond to the dynamics of our performance, and we can automate certain mixing tasks by having parameters listen to a signal and automatically perform a task!
