Logic Express

[maugunra78]

really awesome, good job!

[trashmouthdelta]

Nice solid track! First off, props for using actual music theory and not just using catchy hooks and sounds. I also like that you didn't revert to that flat, braindead song structure that you normally see with synthy electronic music like this. In fact it builds quite nicely, especially how the drum loop isn't completely static and unchanging. Despite being made entirely with electronic instruments, this has a surprisingly human-like quality to it; something i strive for in my music. A+ work(:

[carinatraberg]

@trashmouthdelta thanks a lot! That's a great comment, I'll check out your videos.

[TheCondemnedProphet]

So if i got this would i be able to plug in my electric guitar and record?

[skyskraberen]

@TheCondemnedProphet sure you could. And any other instrument or audio source that you want. Endless possibilities ;)

[Deph11s]

hey, unlike zebbelineren, I really like those drums, what pack/kit/sample did you do for them?

I don't really think they fit with the rest of the song but I really like the high hats and the snare you used.

[skyskraberen]

@Deph11s hi, thanks for your comment. The drum hits are from Logic Express' Ultrabeat. They are single hits within the kick drum and snare banks.

[toedster]

I'm new to this. You mean all the sounds i'm hearing is created internally? Without any external instruments?

[carinatraberg]

@toedster Yup, that's right. Logic Express comes with a large number of 'software' or midi instruments. It's great to begin with these.

[josuke80]

I have a question, with Logic Express it's possible to have a different sounds of metronome? and to change his volume?... thanx

[davidproducer89]

awful... :(

[skyskraberen]

@davidproducer89 - thx for looking anyways

[rickytrix]

how to change the color in tracks ?

[adrianvdb]

Paul van Dyk? ;)

[jrmovies1234321]

gd stuff. u should write a vocal 2 this. I'm getting logic express 9 soon

[LogicStudioMadness]

Be prepared for a 5 to 5 1/2 hour install for Logic Pro 9.

[pedromtp]

the elecronic part of the sound doesnt fit the acoustic

this can be an awesome minimal sound (melodic)

but with a harder kicks

[juliancano28]

u need to drop some harderd kicks on that..but that shit is hot tho!!!

[BeatPerfection]

nice track!! Which built-in keyboard are you talking about?

[skyskraberen]

If you press the caps lock key on your keyboard, you'll see this small keyboard that'll allow you to play with the keys on your keyboard.

[Krondelo]

Sorry but I have to ask. I really really want this, or something similar. How much money? for just like the simple version?

[carinatraberg]

Well since there a new version 9 now, you can get Logic Express 8 on ebay for around £60. Probably cheaper if you look around :)

[Krondelo]

Yeah I have it now, and love it! Got a track up as well. Thanks for the response.

[LogicStudioMadness]

$500.00 for Logic Pro 9. You'll get your money's worth. I did.

[TrayCook20]

@LogicStudioMadness .. SO I SHOULD GET LOGIC PRO INSTEAD OF LOGIC EXPRESS.?? IM BUYING MY AC IN A FEW MINS I NEED A MUSIC PROGRM LOGIC EXPRESS IS GOOD TO START OFF WITH RIGHT

[carinatraberg]

Logic Express is great, if you are just starting out with music production, you could also begin with garageband that comes with your mac.

[djthemoney]

wait is logic pro difrent to logic express Btw Has Pro the keyboard trigger function too?

[LogicStudioMadness]

@ TrayCook20,

Yes, Logic Pro 9 is the best way to go for more reasons than YouTube will allow me to post. The biggest reason is creativity and comes with 100s of software instruments built in along with over 20,000 plus musical sounds. The software is used by the motion picture industry and the most popular bands in the world. You will think you died and went to heaven after about 3 hours of fooling around with it. It's a writers/producers dream music software. italso tracks video, too!

[LogicStudioMadness]

@ TrayCook20, all the music videos I've posted on my channel were produced on Logic Pro 9 using the internal instruments that come with it. It even comes with some awesome vocal sounds as well. The video above is nothing compared to what Logic Pro 9 can do.

There are only 2 pieces of software to consider in this league and the other one will cost you about ten grand to get a basic setup and another ten to fifteen grand to round out your music software station, instead of five-hundred.

[DaManeRecordings13]

this aight but check out ma beatz bro and don't forget to comment r8 and sub plz!!

[statueofdiveo]

I think this song is incomplete. I don't like the drums. They clash with the preset synths. Try making your own synths and drum kits.

[skyskraberen]

It's an attempt to mix acoustic and electronic sounds. This way all music doesn't sound the same :)

[carinatraberg]

I find that the best way to learn a programme is to use presets. But it's a good tip and I will try this out.

[BVisionProductions]

sick as hell you should send the mp3 to me

[carinatraberg]

I have a Macbook, 2GB RAM, 250 GB harddrive. I don't think you'd need that much to run Logic Express though as it's lighter than the full studio ap.

[jomarcavalcanti]

It's just that I have a macbook pro with almost the same config mine is a 2.5ghz and it locks sometimes when I reord voice. and it drives me crazy but it seems that you mostly use more midi stuff right?

[carinatraberg]

Hm, I also record audio tracks using external synths and this is fine. Sounds like it may be your laptop and not Logic Express?

[bobzinhodaMD]

i did not found this track on Your "SoundCloud" do you stell have on site ?

[zebbelineren]

Really cool made! But the drums destroy the whole song... They are just to kliché...

[carinatraberg]

Thanks for your advice

[carinatraberg]

@zebbelineren thanks for watching anyways ;)

[MrLogicpro]

Really Really Good!!! Please check mine out!

[MightyBass101]

i think a tighter high hat at the beginning at least. and if you dont feel like doing EQ at least use a pre set one

[infin1tum]

dude you rock!!!!!

[TomFromCanada]

Im diggin this. really great tune

[MFJVIDEO]

right im getting it

[nax247]

This is an AMAZING song!

[carinatraberg]

Cheers!

[ahsjdkfhrychdk]

so i dont fully understand the description, did you write these riffs on the computer or do they come preset and you just trigger them?

[skyskraberen]

Most of them are presets that I have added effects to, like delay and reverb. Logic express comes with a great set of presets and drums sounds too.

[classicalsteve48]

pretty diggable. i need to learn how to use this program. i just hacked it muahhaaha

[carinatraberg]

If you live near an apple shop, they've usually got free seminars on how to use Logic. If not YouTube is great too ;)

[classicalsteve48]

maybe i'll do that. i have to go down there anyway cuz my hard drive crashed. thank god i have a warranty! well thanks for the vid either way

[MCShamedog]

Holy S*** this is amazing

[TacticsCosplay]

you are brilliant, XD

and Logic Express is very good

[GimmeAFuckingD]

Hey great sound man :) really catchy. Is this program for Mac only? Or can you run it on Windows Vista?

[carinatraberg]

Sorry, Logic is only for Mac. Maybe you should check out Cubase or Reason for Windows Vista. These are also great programmes.

[GimmeAFuckingD]

sweet thanks man i will check them out.

[daneedition]

well done :).

[judojoe07]

Ive started using this at college, the only problem is that when i try to add more than three tracks the CPU just cant hack it. but yeah this tracks cool, nicely put together

[carinatraberg]

By the sounds of it you need a new computer or just more RAMs in your machine. Logic Express can be hard on the system :)

[noodlz1472]

Cool track...does anyone know how to create a "build up" in logic? You hear them a lot in house/trance music usually in line with the synth and they peak right as the bass comes back in...sounds similar to say a siren from low to high...any help would be appreciated...thanks!

[statueofdiveo]

automation, maybe sidechain compression.

[WinstonKing1988]

i think it isnt needed in this song...because of its characteristic

[deeboks]

use your filters man, sounds like you mean a nice sweep...set your resonance to like 1.3 and then start really low on your cut off and then slowly turn it up which gives you that nice sweep you hear on the snares, synths, or whatever on dance tracks.

[therobottree]

Reminds me of the stuff I make.

Good job man, you got a myspace for your tunes? Add mine at myspace . com / keepingupwithyesterday

[treflipper]

dude gregg just delete it and find a new new torrent buddy. just look for one that says complete. its around 7 gigs and it must have a serial number. try vuze.

[ken986]

good song.

[capufool]

nice job with the delay

[therobottree]

trance trance.

i like.

you should lay down vocals

[flip4gym13]

does anyone know how to get to pitch correction and all of the other plug-ins?!?!?!?

[solucerne]

WOW respect!

did you use any external instruments for recording or did you make all the sounds completely with logic express?

and how long did it take you to get how to do it? because i want to buy this program too but dont know if its too hard for me...

[skyskraberen]

Thanks.

All the sounds are within Logic Express, there are fantastic presets and you can use the built in synths.

This took me about 4-5 hours. It's definitely a great application, professional sounds.

[carinatraberg]

By the way, Skyskraberen is my band...

[TenaciousDuo22]

damn thats actually really awsome!

[carinatraberg]

Cheers!

[harobmxer87]

That's kinda catchy
