These are an advanced version of channel presets, and they can as well include sends, track stacks, multi-out plugins. Now, what you've been calling up is library presets. You also can't exactly access it in any other way than by creating a Drummer track. By technical means I'd think it's a MIDI file player with some analysis input for the "follow" function to work and a whole plethora of multichannel MIDI files saved that you mix together in the editor screen. It's really a virtual player "hidden somewhere". It seems like your Drummer was a simple stereo track that you changed the Drummer plugin for another instrument and I couldn't do that so it tripped me up.Well, let me try to explain how things work, might be of some help or so.ĭrummer itself isn't an instrument or anything. Drummer installs as a multi, therefore I was trying to change the Drummer plugin rather than the instrument plugin. Yet, IMO you can get quite far just using what Logic has on offer (and well, there's also Drum Machine Designer - but I rather not touch it because I'm getting a nervous breakdown as they've done pretty much everything wrong with that thingy.).ītw, sorry for the lousy YT video quality, no idea why that happens, looks fine on my machine, even after I compressed it. As said, this is a very raw improvisation, I would usually only do this until I find something inspiring and concentrate on finetuning.Īnd as said before, I usually prefer Battery for these kind of things as it allows for easier manipulation of individual samples. I do then add the note repeater and delay again and fool around a little more. Then I'm changing the instrument used from Ultrabeat to the EXS, which comes with quite some drumkits as well, offering different tweaking options - which I'm then making use of. In addition, I activate the send to the delay bus. You can see the settings I'm using in the video (again: All chosen instantly without any preparation). I do then insert a note repeater as a MIDI FX - again, nothing predictable with any sort of drums. But I wanted to go for something less predictable. Then I change some more Ultrabeat stuff, this time using the Analog Percussion drum bank - which isn't even remotely configured to work as a GM drumset, more or less required to get predictable results out of Drummer. Then it's time for Kyle to show up, he also prefers a different song tempo (Drummers do that as long as you didn't set a song tempo yourself or recorded anything). I do then just exchange the drum kit in favour of Ultrabeat. This is important when you want to change the drumming persons (which I do later on). Next I checked the "keep drum kit when changing Drummers" box from the editors pulldown. I started with a default Drummer track, all inserts bypassed, so it's good old Rose doing her thing with the default kit and play settings she's showing up with. Hence there's just my Logic movements and sounds. Please note: This is pretty much an improvisation, I prepared absolutely nothing (apart from a simple delay/phaser bus that's more or less part of my personal template).Īlso note: I wasn't happy with my mic input in realtime, so I ditched the idea (and it's too late now over here to do some voiceover). Loopcloud by Loopmasters, Cloud Sample Storage Really, for loops, that's quite a nice tool. You can of course as well purchase a whole bunch of packages - the nice thing being that you can preview most things inside the app.
Best free mastering plugins for logic pro x download#
There's a pretty huge free loop pack coming with the app and there's some new free content offered weekly that you can download straight from the app.

They have a pretty nifty app that connects to a plugin sp the loaded loops always sync to song tempo - and once you find a suitable one, you can drag and drop it straight into Logic. But well, it's certainly not tailored for loop useage.īut you can load various kits and play them via Drummer - which is pretty much resulting in an infinite number of loops, just that you can tweak them much more in detail than what is possible with audio loops.Īpart from that, if you're into loops you might want to check out Loopcloud. Does it have better preset sounds and loops than Logic Pro X?No idea about Battery 4 (I'm using 3), to me it seemed as if you might have it already.
