Just hover your mouse over a button you don’t understand, and Quick Help will tell you exactly what it does. So if you’re new to Logic Pro, you’ll want to have it on. Quick Help gives you a brief description of what everything on your screen does. There’s a lot to look at here, but we’re just going to focus on the necessities.įirst things first, check out the “Quick Help” button on the left side of the screen. One example is changing the tempo of your song. This is where you’ll make changes that affect your entire project. Just below the navigation dropdowns is the main interface. Let’s break down the interface step by step so you know exactly what you’re looking at when you open a project. Where do you even start?īut don’t worry! It’s not as complex as it first seems.

It’s easy to be intimidated when you open Logic Pro X for the first time. Consider the hardware employed for the musical cues for, say, a recent production like Stranger Things.Part 1: Getting Comfortable with Logic’s Visual Interface I am old-school, and can relate easily to the "historicaI" feel of a lot of plug-ins, and see a lot of practical value in acknowledging and even emulating the roots of various forms of synthesis. The "modern feel" comment is interesting and I will give that some thought.
Workflow is key!! Because I'm relatively new to this format (I was recording with ADATs and the Roland VS1680, etc., when Logic was a mere toy, and only recently went totally computer-based!) I am still of the philosophy that limiting one's choices can be a valuable way of shaping the creative process (like Brian Eno pointing out that the problem with non-destructive editing is that the ability to defer decisions is a two-edged sword.) Because I'm still a kid in a candy store with LPX, I am so far restricting my use of 3rd party plug-ins to certain sound libraries that give me real world sounds I cannot even approach within LPX.
Great point about built-in effects, in terms of both processor power and workflow. I don't consider Sculpture (nor the ES2) as outdated synth, far from that!! Totally agree with you Sculpture is a very interesting piece of synth because it opens an original approach, sounds great and present a stunning versatility. I also love the Legato on it, and the EQ models are nuts. Combine it with some additional effects and i can get lost in it for hours! But believe me, if you start to scratch the surface there's some really unique features in there, and you get oodles of tweaking available that instantly raise a smile. Some will hear Sculpture once and turn it off thinking it sounds like those old MIDI players. Or you can dirty some of the sounds it produces to create glitchy/industrial elements - it's really fantastic. Sculpture therefore leaves a lot of room for processing, so if you apply a nice plate reverb behind some of the thinner sounds you get an excellent mid-high range ambience.

Plus most of what comes out of sculpture isn't natively too fat and overly processed, you can get nice plucky sounds, really thin metals, and almost FM bell sounding tones. I love how it adds random elements in an organic fashion, and the depth of the objects it contains is huge as the slightest modification to it's synthesis and the sound just warps/morphs into something else. But learn it, and it brings a refreshing break from all the other types of synthesis out there.
I think sculpture is HUGELY under-rated, it's almost forgotten.
