Tip#36 - Ultrabeat Sidechain

[Patritz]

nice videos, are u a fan of the cali chronic?

[AlCappucino]

this doesnt work for me.. I did the preps exactly as you did, but when I play the ESE I hear no sound.. :S tried with Omnispere too..

[dyson85]

You SF Logic Ninja, are a legend. I've learnt so much from your video's. When you mention about getting to a discussion on gate in the sequencer section, did you ever get around to that? At the moment, the notes seem not to trigger for the length that I specify with the gate in the sequencer. This only happens when sidechaining a synth through Ultrabeat as you've detailed in this video as far as I can tell, not when using sounds generated by Ultrabeat. Cheers!

[fankfunk]

mate does this work on logic express, because when I click ese it does not show bus? any idea bro..Great vids learning loads

[kabzazo]

Thanx a mill bro .....this is awesome

[academyofrock]

Fantastic tips - thank you

[DJSTALLI0N]

this guy just woke up .. :) haha.. good producer though. :) god tips ;)

[Stef1anor]

Thanks for these tutorials. They´re helping me ALOT! God bless!

[supermanrapist]

your the man dave! by far the best tutorials on youtube!

[MrPetepetepete]

Thanks for the video but god, you love the sound of your own voice.

[soldierbnice]

also man, could u please make a video on looping live in mainstage 2. Im tired of people talking about how much better Ableton live is for looping. I honestly just think they don't know logic 9 and mainstage 2 capibilities. Please do a video on looping in a live setting with mainstage 2. Thanks man

[JGaietto3591]

haha u look like dewey cox in this video

[jaredboria]

Thank you so much for calling it ESE, haha that was hilarious

[killtheswitch]

im so happy

[killtheswitch]

looks like an 80s vid lol

[HolliValsMusic]

Brilliant :)

[Codette881]

SFLN ... you are awesome and helping me progress at double the speed... Thanx :)

[90prozVol]

learning so much through your vids, thanks a lot mate. You are a didactical genious! Keep the good work up.

[OtherJesus]

Now I didn't know you could do that.

Great tip.

And yes, I agree 110%, Ultrabeat is such a very deep plug in.

I still find myself learning new things about it.

Like today for example! :)

[charlesdewars]

you are the beez kneez sir

[fadedouttamind]

I LOVE YOU.

[chompy410]

A dandy wee tip Ninja. I had my eye on that sidechain in ultra beat but would have taken a fair amount of time to work that one out.

[g9gg99]

thank you

[zif00]

u r a legend

great stuff!

[jbiker155]

so its like an oscillator?

[flemingway]

That was good, I have seen FL studio's playing rythmified notes with a nice pattern. This could be a way to do it. A creative channel would be great. How to solve artistical sound or rythm problem and use Logic as an instrument, part of the creative process, not a recording device.

[blauwbiets]

dude you got it down! thanks for spreading the knowledge. I watch these although i use pro tools and translate this to that

[NashTracks]

No Ciao??

Yes on creative stuff +1

[kevinrules4ever]

¡¡¡NO LEAS ESTO!!!

Si ya lo has leído copia y pega esto en 5 vídeos más o tu madre morirá en 3 días, hacerlo por favor , a mi amigo le paso, yo lo he hecho para que no me pase, por favor hacedme caso. esto es una maldicióóóóóóóon.

[jimmydeer1]

Kickass! Yes on the creative channel.

[InfamousMysteryGirl]

hmmm for some reason i cant get my midi to work with the pattern mode on ultrabeat,,, works fine otherwise,, please help!

[scuwat]

haha has anyone else noticed that every single one of his tutorials has been the main 'gimmick' in an extremely popular song since they started coming out

i'm a huge MSI fan, and they use this effect a LOT, but i'm referring to the new hit "Blame It" by Jamie Foxx and T Pain - its all over the chorus

[caramel2436]

I get this "clicky" sound along with the synth... how do i get rid of that?

[PUDDICOMBE1992]

Try raising the attack time slightly

[caramel2436]

hey thanks so much.

[rctfanatic]

@caramel2436 I've got the same problem... did you ever figure it out?

[slimlo101]

nice vid fam.appreciate the tip 4 the ultrabeat. more ways of getting better 2 make better music

[Captnuendo]

you have cool hair.

[jdb83xl]

im liking the 1980's dream filter effect on the video.

[johsammer]

You just boosted my efford in making music. It just got so much more fun. thanx man. Keep up the good work :)

[bruintjebruin]

this is the most usefull tutorial to create cool music:p:p

[dbassfour]

good one bud.

[adrianperticone]

GENIUS DAVID!!!!!!!

[naldredge]

Nappy hair dude! I approve!

[cedricpil]

Man, thank you so much for these tutorials. Very cool !

[Parsecaudiotron]

dude you're the man.

[philly2dabay]

Logic 8 is amazing. Your tutorials are amazing. Thank you.

[karaokesuperstar12]

Hey- You're awesome man >>>> Thx for the effort.

[enertronfilms]

hey sweet tutorials! i tried this with a kickdrum and bass, and the bass clicks every time it "ungates". i tried playing with all the settings and added limiters to no avail..

[SFLogicNinja]

Might wanna check your envelopes. Give the Amp envelope a little attack and release in Ultrabeat and see what happens.

[ztilo]

dude u fuggin ROCK !!

[UTSONUT]

sorry i have another big question that`s been on my mind 2) im good at playing drums via keys, cant decide I must invest in a korgpad control or akai mpd? my main use for those would be for the subtle drum rolls and xy flams etc, does logic help in doing that? which integrates better with logic? korg or akai?

[UTSONUT]

hey man

thanks so much for this video! great inside info!

gotta question for you

1. how can we make arppegiators in logic? Does using a workstation provide an edge in this task vs using a midi controller?

thanks again

[Lukinu22]

MSG me on M.S.N. ID is in my profile.

hahahahahahha hahah NR

[zakk91]

Can u do a video on sidechain compression in logic??

[RichieEastside]

yes! PLEEEEASE!!!!

[BrentonLaTour]

he did cover that in one of his earlier videos on compression, he calls it ducking

[BrentonLaTour]

check his tip 18

[fabila1]

Oh sorry, I am so stupid, I forgot to tell you that this instrument midi track was made with EXS24. So, can I put midi from EXS24 into ultrabeat and sidechain?

[fabila1]

Hi! I have a question about using midi information into ultrabeat. I made a midi pattern which I`d like to sidechain (or maybe you call that something else) in ultrabeat. Is that possible? HOw can I do that?

[fabila1]

Myabe I made myself unclear. I mean, the midi is in logic on the track, which I want to put back in ultrabeat and do the sidechain.

[Chillerman345]

Wow Im kinda mad that i didnt see this video earlier. What I was doing was sending a hi hat or kick sample with envelope 4 to 0 and sending it to a bus and recieving it in the side chain of a noise gate or silver gate in the track that I wanted to add the trancegate effect. but this is waaaay simpler and seems to have less room for error and more effects to add to the track!

[dmmnola]

Awesome. Works great! The only limitation is that the source has to be a non-decaying waveform. (ie. this is the only way to make the attack phase of each note in the sequence identical). The sidechain approach gave me some great ideas to utilize some of my third party software's step sequencers and sidechain native logic applications (ie. esx-24) into these environments. Thanks alot!!!!

[sogoodbo]

wow im so happy to find you

all your tutorial is awesome man

watched them all :)

[jasinmaui]

Arigato sensei. Your skills are good. I have learned much from you . I hope to learn more from you honorable sensei. Keep us enlighted by the warm rays of your indominatable being. Your loyal student, GB

[Troltwentythree]

Your videos have helped me get to grips with so many aspects of Logic...THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Muchluv from London

[weznilez]

dood you look like the lead singer of AH HA

I swear go find the video "take on me" this isnt a diss just a observation!

[splicktik]

Hi David, thanks for the tutorial which is great as usual. One question, which third party plugins would be best for using on vocals (making them big and soft like coldplay's) and mastering??

[funkydafunker]

You've been away awhile.Hope all is fine.This particular video is a perfect example of your expertise and communicative skill.Peace

[bigcypg]

whAT PROGRAM IS THIS YOU MAKIN BEAT OFF OF

[djleond]

[trevdogza]

sweetness

[treacherkat]

david -just wanted to drop a quick note thanking you, and to heap a bunch of gooey, yummy love and praise your way. you teach with clarity, humor, and direct, immediate, useful information. your skills take the mystery out of the software so we can put the mystery in the music. i just subscribed and am thankful for your energy, time and vibe. { treacherkat a.k.a. another dave

[BaxterAudio]

awesome tutorial. ive been searching for something like this since i started using logic. but i cant figure out how to use more than just one channel on ultrabeat. but still, invaluable tutorial. thanks a lot!

[treborladres99]

Great tip David! question re: automating Ultrabeat:

I found that changing the Envelope filter in Oscillator 1 greatly effects how the ES E sounds.. it would be neat is if I could automate that parameter in Ultrabeat.. but I didn't readily see how.. any ideas?

[Mesa4Life]

Thanks Ninja - That was great!

[bjg92]

man dave I don't know why the company doesn't hire you as a damn worldwide representative. I l\had some teachers that knew their shit, ... but you know your SHIT! ...and you don't come across cocky, great to learn from someone who is perosnable!

[pictureperfectplanet]

:o Conductor hair!!!!

WICKED!

[falzaabi]

magic

[cabinneighbors]

another channel would be sweat

[Spraoiceol]

Thanks dave, you have turned around a completely boring day at work and made it into a field of daisies that I can lie back in and dream of possibilities.

[kingphred]

You sir are the man!

[scuwat]

dave it's amazing how every time i have a question regarding recreating something i hear in a song, you seem to answer it within a couple of weeks without me even asking it. i know i've said this before, but thank you so much for doing these videos, you've really helped open me up to logic's true potential

[funkydafunker]

Tried it on vocals and bass too.Sidechaining has opened me up to everything I love about atmospheric dance music.

Thanks.I don't know how you find time but I'm so glad you have.'Sculpture' is amazing too.

[acornFlyer]

Yet another superb video. Thanks for sharing your expertise.

[Edigi]

Sweet

[MegadanceProductions]

Absolutely incredible!

Now imagine using an audio track (vocal) instead of ES-E.

Isn't that fun?

Thanks Ninja! Respect :)

[jaeteaess4]

Awesome video dave, thanks. i've been catching up on old videos and hopefully will have some questions for you once i've gone through all your vids. thanks again!

[nuncybull]

Hello

Do you have any tutorials which cover changing MIDI clock resolution to create a stutter / beat repeat effect?

Thanks

Lofty

[Pdrum]

Hi Dave!

I wonder if you could show us a little bit of vocoder?

Cheers mate!

[PrinceOfMilano1]

GREAT ONE!!!!!

[drumsexrock]

Absolutely do a creative video! Great tutorial. Can you do one on live recording? You rule dude!

[lilturk911]

ninja you are the man! your videos rule!

[sourberrymusic]

I'm using Logic Express 8, and I tried clicking on the output 1-2 of the ESE track, but I couldn't change that to BUS 1. Can this only be done in the Pro version?

[sourberrymusic]

It's okay, sorry about that. I just had to click and hold on that button. :)

[funkydafunker]

Thanks for this.I'm off to trance out for a week !!

[TheLD167]

Yeah that creative channel sounds like a great idea!

[weeddigger]

YOu're the man Ninja, thanks for the tutorials, and yeah, love the hair man...

[patchwerk90210]

been struggling to get the next section of a tune i'm writing down but this has just given me a bit of inspiration... thanks!!!

[proff1999]

Thanks again. Cool video. Take all the time you need to attend to life's demands. It's cool with us. :-)

[cloudshadowsanddream]

That's Incredible Dave!!!

[Tyblubearboy]

Another good tut there dude. Go for the creative channel too. Good idea :)

[VimesWithAVee]

How I ever managed to create Cool sounds in Logic before you started making these vids is beyond me! Thank you soooo much!

And the Creative channel is an awesome idea!

[karp47]

woooh! thanks sflogic ninja

[PJFuzzmeister]
