I want to make my own drum track to go along with one solid chord on keyboard. The drum track has stereo delay so that each drum beat is echoed just a bit. It sounds so good!
However, after 3 bars of keyboard and echoing drum beats, i want both the keyboard and drums to come to an abrupt halt at the beginning of the 4th bar. How can I do this? Is it possible?
You can use an automation lane and just mute those tracks at the beginning of the 4th bar by placing a mute automation event at that point in the automation lane.
You can set the track to write the automation (the W button on the track), then just bypass the delay plugin while the track plays and it will write an automation point. It’s a simple On/Off automation, so you can then just drag the point to the place you want to kill the Delay and that works great! It’s how I always do it.
