Logic Pro Tutorial: Ultrabeat - Drum Synthesis

Learn more at the Dubspot blog: http://bit.ly/i4sskT

Dubspot Instructor and Logic expert Evan Sutton shows you how to navigate the various sound design features and parameters in Logic's Ultrabeat drum machine in this new video tutorial. Ultrabeat is a drum sampler and synthesizer in Logic which allows you to sequence and sculpt unique drum sounds. Evan starts by explaining the three essential sections in Ultrabeat - mixer, synth section, and sequencer. He imports a standard Ultrabeat preset, Classic Electro Kit with samples, including an 808 style kick and drums which Evan then teaches us how to recreate using the Phase Oscillators, and changing the pitch, volume, and duration of the sound. At the end of the tutorial you should have a good grasp of how to synthesise a kick and a snare from scratch in Ultrabeat.

For further exploration of Ultrabeat and Logic be sure to check out Dubspot's new six level Logic Pro program designed by Dutty Artz founder Matt Shadetek. In the six levels of the course, both in Dubspot's new online school and physical classroom in New York City students will learn to create a four track EP, starting with a set of musical sketches and developing them over the course of six levels, refining their craft as they advance.

Wow, I learned a shitload with this video. I always use the Drag and Drop Preset and load up with all different ones. I really haven't played around with modulating the tones or creating your own. Thanks for the upload!

Dubspot if I could I would donate money to you guys. You are awesome!

Iv'e got some vengeance samples, could you drag the samples into ultrabeat, or would you just have to keep them on different tracks?

Nice vid! Check mine to get some hip hop samples!

Thanks so much, this is a great video. I'm definitely gonna go check out the online course. One question! For the "Sweet Kick" sound I made sure that I copied all settings exactly like yours in the video, but when I turn my sub off it sounds like there's a dog barking faintly along with the bassy kick. How to eliminate that, and why would it do that when the settings are same as yours? Thanks in advance!

Thank you! :) Excellent video!

Really good, this shows the use of knobs in context and where they are since the more important the function, the more hidden the menu. This shows why to use them.
