The CORRECT Way to do Volume Automation in FL Studio!

This tutorial will show you how to do volume automation in FL Studio 20.
Volume automation is one of the most used and most important automation there is when it comes to mixing and mastering. There are many ways to add volume automation in FL Studio but some ways are more efficient than others. I often see people automating the volume fader in the mixer, which is a very quick and easy way to add volume automation in FL Studio. Unfortunately, this method also prevents you from mixing your project properly because the mixer faders won't be adjustable after the volume automation has been added.
You can also automate volume in the channel rack, in the VST's, adding fruity balance, etc too, but it's actually easier to automate the send levels in the mixer itself instead. It's also more organized since you'll now be able to see what's happening in the mixer itself, without being prevented from using the mixer fader to adjust the volume later on.
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you several ways to do volume automation in FL Studio, and I will also show you my own preferred way of doing it.
