Here are some less commonly discussed techniques that are useful in tons of genres! I’m using ShaperBox to demo everything because they wanted to sponsor a video but if you don’t have the plugin you can of course do automation and gating in lots of different ways. ShaperBox just makes a lot of it easier 🙂 Check them out https://www.cableguys.com/
