\"LogicVolume, panning, EQ and other effects on an track can be changed mid way through a composition to add variety to the mix. Alternatively these effects can be changed over time to give further variation. This process is called automation.<\/p>\n

A common automation method found in almost any popular dance track is that of a change in frequency on a low-pass filter. A low-pass filter will be applied to the drums, only letting through the lower frequencies. Over time the low-pass filter will be altered using automation to allow more of the original sound to be heard, to give an impression of a ‘building’ sound, until the drop. Next time you’re listening to a dance\/drum & bass record, listen out for this effect.<\/p>\n
