Hello everyone, this is Brian Pollett and i am going to go over a new feature in Painter 2016 called "Audio Expressions"
This feature allows sound to interact with your brush strokes
So something you will notice in Painter 2016 is that within the different Brush settings windows there will be these speaker icon.
When you click these speakers, they will allow Audio Expression to take effect on that specific brush setting
I like to enable Audio expression on size and color expression
I also like to use Audio Expression with Particle Brushes. Its fun and creates a lot of chaos.
To set up Audio Expressions. Go to Windows> Audio>Audio Setting Panel and this Audio Setting Panel will appear.
You will be given two choices in a drop down menu. Internal Audio and Microphone. Internal Audio allows sound to be looped back into Painter.
So you can play music from your computer to enable your brush strokes. But for the sake of this tutorial I will enable microphone to show how my voice can effect my brushes.
COREL PAINTER 2016 MAKES COOL BRUSHES
So it kind of adds some chaos to your brush strokes. When i speak it increases the size and just one brush and that the "Gravity Bristle"
There's this brush that I love to use called "Speckle Liquid Ink" and when i speak it not only change the size, it change the color, makes it lighter, and adds chaos.
Let increase the Range Slider Bar to increase the spread.
Audio Expressions!
It adds a bunch of chaos! We can turn the range down and change the color a bit to have less spread.

It a really fun way to add character, some chaos and some life to your painting and this works for a bunch of different brush categories.
I'll show you one more, the Pattern Pen under the Audio Expression Brush category. You can certainly use Audio Expressions with other brush categories.
Like "Particles", or the new "Dynamic Speckles"
Make sure to enable audio settings under whichever brush category you choose to use but let me show you the pattern pen right now. So when i speak
AUDIO EXPRESSIONS...Will increase the size. I will adjust the strength and range to get a different effect.

Is a cool....new feature and i recommend you play around with the slider a lot.
When you play music....when you use "Internal Audio". This feature becomes way more chaotic and seemingly random.
Anyways, I am very excited to see what people create with the feature. Thank you for watching!
