    • @Eludium_SNKN
      @Eludium_SNKN 4 года назад +12

      Are you referring to the section between 7:27 - 9:03? In the first part, he's automating Kickstart's sidechain rate inside the DAW, and you can see between 8:20 - 8:26 how the automated parameters are changing. I am not sure entirely how automation is done in Logic Pro but you can surely find a quick tutorial about that if you're not familiar. At one point (8:24), he is automating the plug-in's enable status, turning it off so at that moment only ShaperBox 2 is turned on and working.
      He is then showing his ShaperBox 2 configuration. You can easily pause the video and copy the same parameters into your plug-in. It's important to change the parameters at the top accordingly (notice how his LFO mode inside the plug-in is set to 'Hertz' instead of 'Beat'). Also remember that ShaperBox is only turned on during the brief moment while Kickstart is off.
      Hope that helped. Always feel free to play with all the parameters in your plug-ins for crazy results.
