Depth

You can use this dimension to create a sense of foreground & background in your music. You can achieve this by:

  1. Adjusting the volume (Loud = Close and Quite = Far) ← This is the main way
  2. Making the ultra-high and ultra-low frequencies more pronounced to make it seam closer (and the reverse is also true)
  3. Reverb and delay can also push a sound backwards, making it seem like it comes from far away.
Tip

If when you want to automate the volume, don't automate the Volume Slider from the Session View, because this will now hider you to easily emphasize or de-emphasize an element "globally".

The better way is to automate the gain using a Utility:
