#AudiotentTip 280. Smooth Transitions.
When you try to introduce a new sound into your arrangement it can sometimes sound too abrupt. First, copy your sound earlier into the arrangement and then apply one of the following techniques to create a smooth transition:
1. Gain automation - Use gain automation to smoothly introduce your sound from quiet to it's required level.
2. Filter movement - Set a type of filter (Low, Band or High Pass). Start with a narrow frequency band and automate the frequency.
3. Loop - Take the beginning of the phrase and loop it. Next use volume or filter automation to create extra smoothness.
