1 00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:02,130 -: This is where the magic happens 2 00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:03,240 because in this lesson 3 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,419 we're gonna dive into the editor in AIVA. 4 00:00:06,419 --> 00:00:08,880 So with a composition selected 5 00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:10,980 and you open the editor window, 6 00:00:10,980 --> 00:00:13,590 this whole new interface shows up. 7 00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:17,070 Here you can toggle between a cursor tool and a pen tool. 8 00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:20,190 The pen tool is useful for drawing in nitty notes here, 9 00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:23,220 and the cursor is useful for most other functions. 10 00:00:23,220 --> 00:00:24,810 You can add a new layer 11 00:00:24,810 --> 00:00:27,330 if you wanna add a new instrument to your composition. 12 00:00:27,330 --> 00:00:28,890 You can click this mixing tab, 13 00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:30,690 which will show you the different volumes 14 00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:31,860 of your tracks here, 15 00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:34,470 and it'll explain how the auto mixing works, 16 00:00:34,470 --> 00:00:36,840 because AIVA will auto mix your track 17 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:38,880 according to what it thinks would sound best. 18 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:40,380 You can turn on these effects panels 19 00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:44,160 if you want to use the base boost or the vinyl effects. 20 00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:45,630 You can check out the hotkeys 21 00:00:45,630 --> 00:00:48,000 and shortcuts available for using AIVA here. 22 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,920 You can click the unfollow playhead 23 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,130 if you don't want the view to automatically follow 24 00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:54,450 where you are in the song, 25 00:00:54,450 --> 00:00:56,640 and you can click through different tutorials here. 26 00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,300 Here we can zoom in and zoom out on our composition. 27 00:01:00,300 --> 00:01:03,540 Next, we can look at these different sections available. 28 00:01:03,540 --> 00:01:05,880 And this is a pretty short composition that has an intro, 29 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,410 an A part and an outro. 30 00:01:07,410 --> 00:01:10,080 If we were to click here, we can replace the intro, 31 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,720 insert section before or after the intro. 32 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,030 We can remove notes or delete the intro. 33 00:01:15,030 --> 00:01:19,260 So you have pretty solid control over the sections at large 34 00:01:19,260 --> 00:01:20,190 by clicking here. 35 00:01:20,190 --> 00:01:23,250 Say you wanted to add a section after the A section, 36 00:01:23,250 --> 00:01:26,700 you would click here and let's say a new section. 37 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:28,290 Sure, it can be eight bars long. 38 00:01:28,290 --> 00:01:31,830 Now we have a new section, which we could call a B section, 39 00:01:31,830 --> 00:01:33,660 and we would fill out what would go here. 40 00:01:33,660 --> 00:01:36,060 Go ahead and discard this for now. 41 00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:39,120 You can go ahead and edit the beats per minute. 42 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,840 In case instead of 85, you wanted to change the tempo here, 43 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,760 we could change this to say a hundred. 44 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,740 You could hit Apply and Save, 45 00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,320 and then you would have sped up your entire track. 46 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,620 Next, we can go ahead and click on our individual stems 47 00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:54,780 or our individual instruments here. 48 00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:57,990 So you can see melody, chords, bass, extra, and percussion. 49 00:01:57,990 --> 00:01:59,880 If you would like to view the melody here, 50 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:01,680 you have this eye is clicked on. 51 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:02,760 When you click it away, 52 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,850 then you no longer see the midi notes at the bottom. 53 00:02:05,850 --> 00:02:08,970 You can click multiple instruments on at once here, 54 00:02:08,970 --> 00:02:10,229 and we're seeing them there. 55 00:02:10,229 --> 00:02:12,420 Or we can simply turn them all off. 56 00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:14,610 You can click this gear if you wanna rename, 57 00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:16,219 change the color or delete. 58 00:02:16,219 --> 00:02:18,710 If you would like to solo the melody here, 59 00:02:18,710 --> 00:02:19,619 you click the S. 60 00:02:19,619 --> 00:02:21,538 (gentle music) 61 00:02:21,538 --> 00:02:23,580 If you'd like to mute the melody here, you'd click the M. 62 00:02:23,580 --> 00:02:26,100 If you want all of these on, whichever one you click to 63 00:02:26,100 --> 00:02:28,290 will then become the dominant view here. 64 00:02:28,290 --> 00:02:32,267 Let's say we want to mute everything except for the strings. 65 00:02:32,267 --> 00:02:35,434 (bright upbeat music) 66 00:02:36,270 --> 00:02:37,590 When you mute the strings as well 67 00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,060 then of course, we're hearing nothing. 68 00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:42,030 All of these tracks have the same functionality that way, 69 00:02:42,030 --> 00:02:45,120 but you'll notice that the instrument on the bottom 70 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,320 is changing a little bit. 71 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,050 Extra has different violins and violas, 72 00:02:49,050 --> 00:02:52,890 whereas base had different base functions here. 73 00:02:52,890 --> 00:02:54,840 Finally, every element that you click, 74 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,260 you can see the option to add some audio effects, 75 00:02:58,260 --> 00:03:00,510 and at the bottom you can add an instrument. 76 00:03:00,510 --> 00:03:03,480 There's a lot to cover in AIVA's editor mode. 77 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,380 It's essentially an entire DALL like Ableton or Logic. 78 00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:08,910 So in the following lessons, 79 00:03:08,910 --> 00:03:10,833 we're gonna keep exploring AIVA.
