Dynamic Automation: Dynamic automation, as opposed to snap-shot automation refers to real-time control over individual settings by a system designed to memorize where changes occur in relation to the program material. This may include changing fader levels, pan positions, EQ settings, bus assignments, plug-in parameters, etc. The advantages of dynamic automation come into play in music production, where parameters must change smoothly over time.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
Michael Erin Woody, Brentwood, TN
