Our latest Logic Pro Tips video explores the EXS24 sampling instrument within Logic Pro X, and how it can be used to rearrange and repitch audio using note keys and the piano roll. MusicTech’s Logic Pro expert, Jono Buchanan, uses a drum loop to demonstrate how the EXS24 can chop up audio files and reassign […]
Lesson fifteen of our Ableton Live Tutorials series introduces you to gating and sidechaining within Ableton Live 10. Gating can be an essential tool in dynamic processing, removing unwanted noise from a source signal (key input). Liam O’Mullane guides you through the parameters present on Live’s Gate effect. We also explore utilising the sidechain option […]
This week in our Logic Tips series, Jono Buchanan walks us through the different types of distortion that Logic Pro X has to offer. Breaking down each plug-in, Jono demonstrates how using distortion creatively can alter the power of an instrument and alter harmonic content in the sound. In our Logic Pro Tips series, MusicTech’s Logic expert Jono […]
We took a brief look at automation in our Ableton Live Tutorial last week, and this week we’re going a little deeper. Ableton Live sports a useful Automation Arm setting, which allows you to alter a parameter in realtime and have it reflected in the session file. This can be extremely useful if you want […]
This week in our Logic Tips series, Jono Buchanan shows us how a sidechained gate can create interesting textures which evolve with the track in Logic Pro X. Last week we looked at alternative approaches to sidechain compression but, as Jono explains this week, compressors aren’t the only utility that can be affected with sidechain […]
Once mastered, automation can be an easy way to add variation and progression to instruments, tracks, groups and projects as a whole. Ableton Live has some interesting automation, including creating fades that a human could never achieve. Our new Ableton Live Tutorials video, presented by our expert Liam O’Mullane, breaks down the basics of Live 10’s […]
Sidechain compression was traditionally used in radio as a means to ‘duck’ volume levels of a track for the presenter to talk without interference. This trick got into the hands of us producers and is now a common trick in electronic music. In this week’s Logic Tips series Jono Buchanan explores the techniques in Logic […]
Liam O’Mullane hosts our twelfth episode of our Ableton Live Tutorials series. In the video, you’ll learn how to combine different tracks in your project into one group, allowing you to control multiple channels at once. This is great for instruments like drums, as Liam demonstrates, as you can adjust the overall volume of a […]
Continuing with our exploration into automation, this week’s Logic Pro Tips video features Jono Buchanan teaching us how to apply automation to our auxiliary sends. We know already that we can use auxiliary sends and busses to send an audio signal to an effects processor, but Jono shows us how to gradually apply that as […]
