Summary

We have just arrived at the end of this chapter. In it, we looked at how we can record, draw, edit, and automate in both the Session and Arrangement Views.

We also further investigated clip envelopes, which are the “storage” of automation in the Session View. While we did that, we discovered the difference between automation and modulation within clip envelopes.

We reviewed the use of automation, and how it can be a tool to enhance our sounds with a bit more movement and interest, as well as our arrangement, as automation can help a lot with transitioning from section to section in our songs.

In the next chapter, we will enter the amazing world of MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE) in Ableton Live 11.
