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.
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.
'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.
#Apple announces Final Cut Pro and #Logic Pro for #iPad, available as subscriptions on May 23; Final Cut requires an M1 chip or newer and Logic needs A12 or newer
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. 🤬🤬
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.
If you're wondering how to enable an #MPE-capable keyboard in #LogicPro for #iPad, here's a short video to get you going! Excited to see they included this since all #Moog iOS instruments support MPE.
Digital audience
gazing into screens
Wandering through playlists
Shuffling their streams
Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.
He’s not on the radio
No records, tapes, CDs.
He broadcasts on the Internet
It’s all done digitally
Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.
Thoughts he plucks from his mind
get played right in your brain
Digial sounds in the bits he writes
What we think becomes the same
Digital busker, laying track after track
Sharing his beats, never looked back
Take after take, gotta get that mix jumping
Drop that beat! Feel that bass pumping.
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
I was really hoping #FinalCutPro and #LogicPro for iPad would have been more accessible out of the gate, but I think there are just issues for everyone that need to be fixed, like the fact that you can’t import multiple files into Logic. Why isn’t that a thing!?
here's a demonstration of the #LogicPro#Flextime feature, which syncs imported audio to tempo with very little effort on the user's part. When it works well such as in this instance, you don't have to do anything at all. For this demo I'm using the track 'Good vibrations' by The Beach Boys.
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
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.
