Question to fellow logic users

damn. that looks intimidating. also, your sig tune is nice. did you make that reesy bass sound in one of the logic synths?

lol, that's zoomed out pretty far, so it looks worse than it is, thanks, i'm glad you like it and no the reese sound is from a freeware synth, the name escapes me right now but it's one of the TAL ones from kunz.corrupt.ch, everything on that site is strongly recommended.

@invisibled, i used to multi out the esx or ultrabeat but all of a sudden i've found that to be a more accurate way of doing things, although it does get pretty cluttered!

i was using ultrabeat, sort of a hangover from using the redrum in reason when i first upgraded, last few tracks tho i've been dropping wavs straight onto their own channels in the arrange window, this is a screenshot form the last tune i made (it's in my sig):

i get a much more natural feel, especially with the 'smart' quantize setting applied, i feel like i'm moving hi hats around and placing them according to where my ear wants to put them rather than basing it around where the grid says i should put it. (although i always put the first kick of every bar dead on the beat) the only downside is once you've got 32 bars down and u zoom out the display tends to slow up a bit, it's hard to select stuff for copying and pasting as well, i guess i could bounce my loop tho and get around all of that.

^This, I do this, and I am aware that a lot of pro producers use this method as well (netsky being one), it makes it easy to effect every single different bit of the beat and also easy to send to busses. The only problem that I've found is it can be hard to add swing to your beat, however it isn't unnachievable with quantizing

Just a quick "tip" for those working with -wav in logic studio pro.

Using -wav (kicks, snares etc..) into audio tracks and copy paste them all the time is messing up your audio bin as you re-create the same piece of audio again and again.. and "eats" your cpu..

The way to create folder :

1. Arrange (copy-paste) your -wav kicks, snares etc. into a 4-8 bar loop it depends what you want to do.
2. Instead of selecting all of your samples and copy-paste them again and again etc.. select them all and right click.
3. Choose folder --> pack folder from the right click menu.. shortcut (shift + cmd + F)
4. All your individuals -wavs are now in a folder.



Peace

you fools are crazy. ESX24 all the way. lay your drums out on the keyboard, multi out them for individual processing and then just use one midi track. Not 8000 aif's on your arrange window.

This is what I do with my kicks, snares, and glitches/one-shots. I use ultrabeat for hats/percussion.

As far as drums go, I'm a BIG Ultrabeat fan. I mean, it was made for drums - the EXS24 wasn't!(But the exs24 is a great tool for some synths and basses). Ultrabeat has a very wide array of functions, much more, in my opinion, than the EXS24. I have spent a lot of time creating a sample library, so I use samples and drag them into the Ultrabeat kit "drag and drop samples" which is just a blank Ultrabeat kit for samples. Then I usually tweak the samples to my liking, make one track with the basic kick and snare, four or five cymbal/hi-hat tracks, and then, if I feel that my song needs it, a sound FX/extra percussion track. This is usually all through Ultrabeat.

Got some interesting approaches, definitely will be trying some of these. Thanks for the contribution
