I think you found it; MIDI foot switch, I would use USB. Different DAWs use different methods for controlling DAW automation, need to check with the particular one.
Is that possible? Also with the software I have (especially the effects stuff)?
That would be great, because applying the right effect is one of two things that keeps me from posting a d@mn cover (the other being not being able to play good enough).
Oh yes, of course! A fundamental quality of DAWs is non-destructive editing. Think of DAWs as being like Photoshop for sound, and the effects are just layers you put on top of the recorded sound. You can add, remove, or change them at any time. It’s a fundamental workflow in music production.
It’s also why Audacity is not well suited for the task (destructive editing, breaks all the typical workflows.)
This is also why I always record dry and clean, and apply effects, EQ, and amp/cab sims in software. It’s just a much more flexible workflow.
Ah, cool! I just used Studio One for live practicing.
So for offline use I would use it like a video editor. I use multiple tracks, cut&paste, assign effects etc.
That was clear to me but had no use for it until now - BUT can I change parameters of effects over time, in a way I would use an expression pedal?
