Listen to two examples in this video. The videographer wore the Hooke Verse for binaural stereo audio capture. Despite turning and moving throughout the space, the beautiful stereo ambiance of this high ceilinged loft is reflected in the recording in all its glory. Some EQ was added to sweeten the blend of the instruments played. But the fidelity was all already there from the Hooke Verse capture.
Apple has stepped up with a rapid response release to the recent 10.4.5 Logic update, released only a few weeks ago. Maintenance releases like this remind us that the Logic development team are constantly hard at work. Not only working on new features, but listening closely to user feedback and constantly looking for ways to make our beloved Logic as rock solid and stable as possible.

Logic Pro X 10.4.5 is a week old, and there are already some really nice tutorials available to help you wrap your head around the new features. Learn all about them here; as well as a surprise Easter Egg from Apple.
So many Logic Projects start out as loops, it’s a quick way to get ideas up and running but we’ve all got “stuck in the loop”, stacking more and more parts on top of each other but never actually creating any new music. In this free extract from “Fred Everything House Music Template and Workflow”, House DJ Fred Everything shares some tips on how to break out your Loop idea into a full length song as quickly as possible using Logic Pro X.
Based on Eventide’s original hardware H910 Harmonizer, this plug-in faithfully recreates the original’s unique combinations of pitch shifting, modulation, and delay. The result is everything from smooth doubling, chorusing, and flanging, to wild and creative pitch, delay, and other modulation based effects.
Logic’s new DeEsser 2 is a frequency specific compressor, designed to compress a particular frequency range within a complex audio signal. What makes this update so special is the addition of the new “relative” threshold mode.
What some may have missed about the 10.4.5 release is that Apple are getting Logic Pro X ready to work with the new Mac Pro when it is released in the ‘fall’. The new update includes performance optimisations that Apple says are designed to take advantage of the "groundbreaking power" of the upcoming Mac Pro.
Logic users welcome to Logic Pro X 10.4.5. At the heart of this new version is an entirely re-written faster, snappier, bigger, better, Mixer that not only holds significant promise for the future but already delivers a new feature that for some users, will change their whole approach to template creation.
n this short video, I share two (well, three actually) handy automation workflow tips that will help simplify routine tasks. They’re simple. Committing them to memory is the hard part.
Sampleson is a relatively new company specializing in fantastic sounding Rhodes based instruments and effects. Their latest offering is a very interesting spectral modeled Rhodes Piano Bass called Fire. And best of all, it is free for the next 60 days.
As full featured as Logic Pro X’s internal FX are, one unfortunate omission is a tape emulation plug-in. So, this is a very worthwhile addition to Logic’s built in processors. I'm a big fan of tape emulation technology. And the simpler it is to use, the better, in my opinion. In this video, sponsored by Universal Audio, I show two different approaches to using Oxide Tape in a real-world mix. They both work, yet yield slightly different sonic results.
Follow along in this video as I capture the feel of an apple loop and then apply it to a MIDI bass part. And then vice versa. I’ll show you how to take the timing and feel of the MIDI performance, and apply that to the Apple Loop.
We all have different ways of programming drum parts into Logic. Some are real time, and some are non-real time mouse based workflows. I prefer playing in my parts rather than mousing them in. In this video, I’m going to look at a couple of ways I like to work in the Tracks Area. You don’t have to be a great finger drummer to accomplish this. Logic gives us plenty of tools to simplify the drum part entry process.
New from Ample Sound, Ample Guitar SJ (Super Jumbo), based on a Gibson Acoustic SJ-200 Vintage Custom Shop guitar, is there most comprehensive release yet. It combines all of the performance and tone shaping characteristics found throughout their other instruments.
Every DAW has built in EQ plug-ins, and Logic offers many. The Channel EQ is a workhorse, capable of considerable flexibility with regards to how frequencies are boosted or attenuated. Logic’s single band EQ is a competent purpose designed multi-function single band variation for the times when multi-band EQ isn’t necessary. However, what about vintage analog style EQs? Read on to learn about what Logic has to offer.
The Creative Process is all about generating, developing, and curating ideas. The creation of ideas is known as “ideation.” As composers, managing our thoughts in their various stages from inception to completion, how do we do this in Logic Pro X.
We often tend to take for granted what’s right in front of us. Particularly when it comes to effects plug-ins. Love the one your with before straying! Logic’s venerable Stereo Delay is often overlooked, but hopefully not forgotten. In this video, I show you how I use it on a mono guitar solo to add a nice stereo thickening quality before the signal is sent to reverb.
In this video, I’ll show you my workflow utilizing linked lanes to generate interesting and dynamic linear style drum grooves. You can use any software drum instrument for this, but here I am using Modern & Massive from GetGoodDrums . They not only sound great, but also offer really fun and flexible mixing options.
Spectrasonics today released an update to Omnisphere with something for everyone. In addition to expanding their innovative hardware synth integration with support for over 65 new hardware synths, there are also some really nice major enhancements to Omnisphere’s arpeggiator.
Antares has released Auto-Tune Access, making vocal tuning more accessible, easier to use, and less expensive, than ever before. When I first saw a demo of this at NAMM I had my suspicions that this was too good to be true. After all, how accurate can it be when there are literally just two controls, with three settings each? After testing it out, I have to say that the results are simply stunning. I don’t know how they’ve tweaked their detection and processing algorithms, but this thing just works!
In this video we use a mix of several UAD plug-ins to bring out the best character and tone of Logic’s Neo Soul producer Kit, as played by the Logic Pro X Drummer Curtis.
