STREEEEETTTCH
(In The Woods Songstarter Vocal 2) Sometimes
some sounds don't really work in the track or you
might want to create variations with your existing
sounds. Stretching audio is one of my
maintechniques to achieve this. It can work
miracles with vocals, synths, effects, almost
anything. Even if it seems that by stretching audio
to a incredibly high amount, the result will be
terrible. You will be surprised as you can end up
with some extremely interesting and psychedelic
elements.
MOVE IT
(28 DTH Synth Loop 123 C) A very effective way
to create movement and width to your sounds
using ES2 (or any other synth) is by setting the
fine tune (cents) of an oscillator as destination
and an LFO as a source. Depending on the
waveform of the Osc and the LFO, and of course
the amount of modulation and speed of LFO you
can get some amazing results on your sounds.
Using in small amount can give a very slick unison
feel to the sound which is quite unique and
makes it sound more "expensive".
DRUMMER BOY
(One Of Us Fill) A very underestimated weapon of
Logic Pro X is the Drummer. Sometimes it is very
hard to program the MIDI of a real drummer as it
is difficult to get realistic velocities and note
positioning. By experimenting on the drummer
with the fills and exporting the MIDI once you are
happy, you can use that with your own drums and
get extremely realistic MIDI patterns. Plus you
can try many variations of fills with the drummer
in no time, thing that would be almost impossible
to be achieved so quickly if you were recording
and editing the fills or drawing them. You can
always fine tune the midi patterns afterwards to
get exactly the result you are after.
SAMPLE GROOVE
(17 DTH Drum Loop 123 perc) After putting down
the MIDI of this percussion I felt it still lacks swing
and the algorithms of Logic or manually moving
the notes was not achieving the result I was after.
I went through my library of some old funk bands
and cut some drum loops that I felt they have the
swing I want on my pattern. Using flex time and
setting the markers exactly right, I created my
own groove template from the drum loop and
applied to my percussion region. Fine tuning with
the quantise strength got me exactly the result I
wanted .
