How to use a MIDI track in a side chain:

-
Here there is an audio track and a MIDI track, I want to use the MIDI track to gate the audio, so I create a third track which is an audio track:

I set the output of my MIDI track to be Bus 1:

Then I set the input of the newly created third track to also be Bus 1:

Then on my first audio track (the one I want to gate) I add Pro G:

At the top left of the plugin window there is a side chain input, I set this to be Track 3, which the MIDI is feeding into via Bus 1:

Finally in the Pro G panel I click the "expert" tab and set the side chain to External:

Real-time audio warping

-

If your guitar playing is anything like mine you will usually need to tighten up your performances after you have recorded them. With Auria's real-time warping you can fix small timing errors or even completely change the feel of a rhythmic part. Here I have a guitar part where the timing is slightly out in places: First I need to anchor the waveform so I place the locator at a transient where the timing is good, and I go to Edit --> Transients --> Add Transient Marker: Then I add some more markers, including another anchor at the end of the section I want to warp: Next I tap the "trn" button to change its state to "warp" and move the transient markers to fix the timing: To help with adding the markers you can use the zoom function in the toolbar to magnify the waveform: With guitar strums I find it's generally better to have the transients placed just before the beat so that the main part of the strum coincides with th...

Using Channels as AUX Sends

-

If you have an empty track you can set it's input from any of the AUX channels (there are 6 of them now), and any effects you add on that track can be dialed in to all the other tracks via the AUX send. The great thing about this is that you can for example EQ you reverb send separately from the main signal. If your reverb is too bright for example, simply put an EQ after it in the chain. Just be aware of one potential catch: if you put an effect on the AUX send itself, that will be blended with any busses in parallel - so if you want the chain to be in series leave the AUX slot on the master strip empty, and use a channel with the AUX as an input. Create a new track and select AUX 1 as the input: Any audio on this track will be ignored BTW. Next add your effects in series as inserts on this channel: Next, and this is a little counter-intuitive, leave the AUX input on the Master strip empty: Because if you add an effect there it will be blended in parallel with the other effect...

Locking selections

This is a mini-tip that is going to be relevant to the next couple of tips I am going to post after this one. There is a hidden way to lock selections in Auria, which is to double-tap the Multi-Select button at the top left: Once you double-tap it a yellow padlock icon appears, this indicates your selection is now locked and can't be dropped until you double-tap the button again to unlock the selections: This can be used in the timeline with audio and MIDI files, and also in the piano roll editor with MIDI notes.
