-: This is where the magic happens
because in this lesson
we're gonna dive into the editor in AIVA.
So with a composition selected
and you open the editor window,
this whole new interface shows up.
Here you can toggle between a cursor tool and a pen tool.
The pen tool is useful for drawing in nitty notes here,
and the cursor is useful for most other functions.
You can add a new layer
if you wanna add a new instrument to your composition.
You can click this mixing tab,
which will show you the different volumes
of your tracks here,
and it'll explain how the auto mixing works,
because AIVA will auto mix your track
according to what it thinks would sound best.
You can turn on these effects panels
if you want to use the base boost or the vinyl effects.
You can check out the hotkeys
and shortcuts available for using AIVA here.
You can click the unfollow playhead
if you don't want the view to automatically follow
where you are in the song,
and you can click through different tutorials here.
Here we can zoom in and zoom out on our composition.
Next, we can look at these different sections available.
And this is a pretty short composition that has an intro,
an A part and an outro.
If we were to click here, we can replace the intro,
insert section before or after the intro.
We can remove notes or delete the intro.
So you have pretty solid control over the sections at large
by clicking here.
Say you wanted to add a section after the A section,
you would click here and let's say a new section.
Sure, it can be eight bars long.
Now we have a new section, which we could call a B section,
and we would fill out what would go here.
Go ahead and discard this for now.
You can go ahead and edit the beats per minute.
In case instead of 85, you wanted to change the tempo here,
we could change this to say a hundred.
You could hit Apply and Save,
and then you would have sped up your entire track.
Next, we can go ahead and click on our individual stems
or our individual instruments here.
So you can see melody, chords, bass, extra, and percussion.
If you would like to view the melody here,
you have this eye is clicked on.
When you click it away,
then you no longer see the midi notes at the bottom.
You can click multiple instruments on at once here,
and we're seeing them there.
Or we can simply turn them all off.
You can click this gear if you wanna rename,
change the color or delete.
If you would like to solo the melody here,
you click the S.
(gentle music)
If you'd like to mute the melody here, you'd click the M.
If you want all of these on, whichever one you click to
will then become the dominant view here.
Let's say we want to mute everything except for the strings.
(bright upbeat music)
When you mute the strings as well
then of course, we're hearing nothing.
All of these tracks have the same functionality that way,
but you'll notice that the instrument on the bottom
is changing a little bit.
Extra has different violins and violas,
whereas base had different base functions here.
Finally, every element that you click,
you can see the option to add some audio effects,
and at the bottom you can add an instrument.
There's a lot to cover in AIVA's editor mode.
It's essentially an entire DALL like Ableton or Logic.
So in the following lessons,
we're gonna keep exploring AIVA.
