Had an idea to take an old song I wrote and meld it with an new one I am working on. It worked! Took the guitar part and made it the bass line. Once it got the tempo correct it was all good. #MakingMusic#HomeRecording#LogicPro#Guitar#Bass
I take my 13yo #podcast episodes, some of which we recorded over Skype and sound pretty janky, run them through #LogicPro’s #StemSplitter, isolate the voices and process them through the #Adobe#EnhanceSpeech tool, then re-integrate it replacing the original voices and it actually sounds pretty good.
AI tools have their place (just probably not as information repositories.)
(Needless to say, I don’t have the original master recordings anymore.)
I've made a very talky video this time around, as I think explaining my particular brand of madness may help some.
I take you through my choice of where to place VoiceOver Hotspots so that I get the best out of #LogicPro quickly and efficiently.
Notice I say 'I' and not You.
As this is one of the most subjective videos I've ever made, I want to make it clear that this isn't so much Logic-related as it is Me-related.
What works for me may not work for you, and that's of course absolutely fine, but Hotspots in-general tend to go under-used by many VoiceOver users, so if this benefits anyone at all, I'll be happy.
Personally, I'm so much slower without them and get annoyed when they don't function as intended. That's one of the major downsides to such things, and for transparency I talk about that as well.
When they do work for me however, they are the fastest way to navigate Logic that I personally know of.
'I Hate Traffic Wardens' is an early 2000's song that I co-wrote with my friend James Berry when we were in college together. With the power of #AI and in particular #Demucs, I was able to separate out his vocoded vocals from the music, and I rebooted the music in #LogicPro, effortlessly sliding his original 2002 vocal over the top. This is the result.
My brother asked me to mix and master a song he’s created. Little does he know I have no interest in actually doing so. Instead, I’m going to keep sending him updated mixes with VHS warble or album warps or dust pops. Another will have Sega Genesis beeps and boops in the background. Another will have random orchestral hits from Owner of a Lonely Heart. I’ll just keep telling him the next one will be real, I promise.
Found out this morning that I cannot update Logic Pro to 10.8 unless I'm running at least MacOS Ventura. So I'm saying goodbye to Monterey after years of service and taking the plunge. I think I might loose a few plugins, but c'est la vie.
Trying to copy some MIDI parts from one project in Logic to another. For some reason the exported MIDI part contains some additional info that messes up the instruments completely - I get the Massive instrument I want plus a Steinway grand piano at the same time. 🤬
So, figured I'd just open both projects at the same time and then hand paint the MIDI notes into a new track while looking at the old one. What a disaster! Logic becomes a bug riddled unworkable mess. 🤬🤬
with the latest ipadOS update, i am no longer able to record audio from my ipad to #LogicPro on macbook, via usb-c. it was tricky to figure out, but i've been doing it for weeks. not any more
on my imac, Sonoma broke my ability to use my Epson #V600 scanner. can't communicate with the scanner no matter how many times i uninstall and reinstall everything. the OS sees the scanner, but i can't connect with Image Capture, or Epson software
I am trying something new with #LogicPro for podcasting. I am curious if adding markers will add chapters when I export to MP3. Do you all know if this is the case? Logic is such a cool program.
Soundcloud is filled with artists all trying to be heard, looking for their audiences. It’s difficult, and can be disheartening when you put yourself out there, when you feel as though you’re unable to get any traction. Some give up, leaving digital memorials of their musical dreams across the site. Others press on, digitally busking in a cacophony of a million other bedroom performers and creators.
A little video about my process. Most of my songs start out as plain piano/keyboard arrangements before I decide on instrumentation and how electronic or acoustic I'd like them to be. Then there's the midi demo and finally the (semi-)pro studio. (Note my ancient DAW and MacBook! 🦖) Follow YT link to watch the full video for ‘Words of Another Kind’! #piano#behindthescenes#songwriting#musicproduction#musicvideo#logicpro#homerecording#indiemusic#bristolmusic
About 50% of the way through my studio reorganization now. The mixer is totally tested & fully operational, including every connected cable. Now working through all the outboard gear & cables, starting with my mics.
Very cool video about #LogicPro made by the amazing Jakob Haq. There's a lot of valuable tips and tricks, and a killer #chiptunes track completely made with the #Minimoog Model D app. Check it out and give Jakob some like and subscribe love! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UzmsG2fY1k
Het heeft toch langer geduurd dan ik voorspelde. Misschien wel een jaar of 10 jaar later dan ik had gedacht. Zeg nou eens eerlijk: een laptop met een beeldscherm en een toetsenbord dat voelt toch wat ouderwets aan?
So I’ve been wanting to learn the fundamentals of music, because I want to create cool sounding stuff in #LogicPro. So, I asked #ChatGPT4 to explain the fundamentals of music to a programmer, and here’s what it wrote. How did it do?
Sure! Music, like programming, has its own syntax, structure, and set of rules. Understanding the basics of music involves several key concepts, including:
Sound & Pitch:
In music, sound is the basic building block. Sound is a wave that travels through the air and its properties like frequency and amplitude define the characteristics of the sound. In the context of music, we refer to frequency as pitch. Just as you would with different data types in programming, you deal with different pitches in music. Higher frequency (more waves per second) results in a higher pitch and vice versa.
Notes:
A note represents a pitch in music. This is analogous to a variable in programming. For example, in Western music, there are 12 unique notes: A, A#, B, C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#. Once you reach the next 'A', you've completed an octave.
Scales:
A scale is a set of notes ordered by pitch. The most common scale is the diatonic scale, which includes seven unique pitches (like the C Major scale: C, D, E, F, G, A, B). It's kind of like an array or list in programming that has specific items in a specific order.
Key:
A musical key is the note or scale that a piece of music is based on. For example, if a song is in the key of C, it will primarily use the notes from the C Major scale. In programming terms, this is similar to a base or a framework that you're working with.
Rhythm & Tempo:
Rhythm is the pattern of sound in time. Tempo refers to the speed of the rhythm. You can think of these as the control flow of a music piece, defining when notes start and stop, and at what pace.
Final Cut Pro für iPad: Erste Erfahrungen zeigen gemischtes Ergebnis
Apple hat kürzlich Final Cut Pro und Logic Pro auch auf das iPad gebracht, um das Tablet als vollwertiges Produktivgerät zu etablieren. Die ersten Erfahrungen sind gemischt.
