If I take almost finished 3 minute song track has synths and vocals and arrangement and it needs matching melodic rhythmic bass and drums can I do it here basically automatically like ai matches spacing of chords and with ongoing varying notes in each bar over 3 minutes as a noobie? Like scaler 2 than Captain plug-ins or ezkeys to ezdrummer 3 add in ez bass? What’s the best easy way? Limiting sidechain noise ducking problems maximizing groove beat energy
If I’m understanding your question correctly, I would say that the key is making sure your Chord arrangement is done correctly in Logic first. You can use Scaler to generate those chords and copy them in to Logic Chord arrangement global track. And yes Logic Session instruments will follow the arrangements by playing beats, chords and bass line patterns that fit the mode of the chords. Please tell me more about the last part of your question about side-chaining and noise ducking. Are you trying to get the Logic Session instruments to follow elements of an Audio track? If so, you could try using the Stem Splitter feature to separate the elements of your audio track that you want to accent. So right click on the audio track and select Stem Splitter. It will isolate the drums, bass, vocals and other music into 4 tracks. That way you can have Logic Session Instruments listen to one of those elements to groove with them while following your Chord arrangements. I hope this helps.
@@seljoypro great but is it free in logic I can get three month free trial. Captain chords plugin kind of does it bass and drums melody is it better? Or arcade or unison midi?
I've been using Sunday Keys for about a week now (used it in one service so far) and love how hyper-focused the UI is for live worship performance, which by necessity means it's not going to be as full-featured as a typical DAW. However, I'm keeping my eyes on possible alternatives (like AUM) because I have been experiencing some reliability issues, which to be fair, I'm not sure yet if SK is the culprit. Namely 3rd party plugins (in particular Pianoteq) simply going AWOL with both the plugin's audio and GUI just disappearing at times. And randomly losing connection with my MOTU M4. This is with a brand new Air M2 (which is dedicated ONLY for live performance) and a robust powered USB hub (Anker) with plenty of juice for all my devices. And of course, as much as I like SK - I am developing a long list of hopeful improvements Lol...
What other connections are you using other than USB? I can't get mine to work at all? All of MY VST instruments work. This one only plays when I run the mouse across the keys. In logic can at least assign the midi keyboard. This one doesn't let me find my keyboard nor map drawbars.
Nicely Done! I’m assuming the pedals are assigned to midi channel 3. How are you controlling the pedal volume? Do you have a physical fader assigned somewhere?
Great observation. Yes the midi pedals are assigned to channel 3. I actually don’t have the bass pedals mapped. My controller only has enough faders for the drawbars. I plan to map it to a rotary knob.
Man, I wish I could understand this. I’m a gospel musician. Been playing and performing for over 20 yrs. unfortunately I had a stroke,before all this tech. Came out. I love what you can do, I just can’t follow it, to much for my brain. Keep up the good work,my brother in Christ.
God bless you for your 20+ years of blessing others with your music. God isn’t done using you in this way. The tech can seem like a lot. Once you find a sound or an app you like, work with that app and 1 or 2 features that lets you be you. Then record yourself and get comfortable. You then can add a function here and there. There’s no rush in being you so you don’t have to feel like stuff is leaving you behind. Enjoy the journey my friend. You still got this ❤️ and God’s got you.
Hey there, I’ve tagged the Midi Pedals in the Description. It’s the StudioLogic MP-113. I do like them. However, I much prefer full length pedals. There are a few out there but they are really expensive. My project was to put together the most compact and low cost, great sounding portable organ setup I could. So the 2 M-Audios, the StudioLogic, the dock and the iPad are the combo I’ve landed on for now.
@@seljoypro thanks brother. I’m running a Yamaha YC 61 with jg3 tech pedals. They’ve pretty solid as full length pedals and aren’t as costly as the bigger brand name pedal boards. They have received mixed reviews but I’m pleased with them as an aspiring organist. Blessings 🙏🏾
Thanks for your feedback on the JG3 pedals. I initially wanted those but read the reviews on the stiffness of the pedals. Every organist is different and I wanted something that was lighter and easier for travel. I miss the heel and toe action because of the shorter travel on the studio logic pedals but I like the compact size and portability. I intend to get the JG3’s and try them out later on.
The picture of the studio bass is an old precision bass, people like Jamie Jamerson and Larry Graham played. The modern bass with the circular pick guard is a Music Man type bass, like from the early 80s. Just a little music history for you. I played bass on Donna Summer's "Love to love you baby in 1975". I've been a session player from many years here in Europe and I've also had the chance to play with a lot of American acts when they come over here for jazz festivals, etc.. I love what you're doing, I'm still struggling with the session player myself, the idea is good, but I hope it doesn't end up just giving young musicians a lot of possibilities when they really should be learning a little bit of music theory first. Just a thought..
@@seljoypro in short I do prefer Ableton to Logic Pro on desktop. Ableton has a great feature known as 'session view' which is great for sketching out ideas and then putting the ideas together to form an arrangement. After getting Logic on ipad, i decided to trial the full mac version of Logic pro but tbh I actually prefered the ipad logic as well as Ableton so I decided not to purchase the mac logic version. I sketch stuff in Logic, transfer to Ableton, and then back to Logic for mastering. Thats my current workflow.
Nice session and having a solid player to explore the set up was a great idea, the questions were really helpful. I’ve been gigging with a ‘19 iPad Air for years - I have the same types of apps (the price for iOS is such an amazing value!). Thanks to Dan for bringing some sweetness!
Every since I had decided to acquire an IPad, have been listening to your ideas and following through. Went and got that Baby Audio BA-1. I pretty much want to see what other Gospel Musicians are doing with their IPads and also, MPC'S. Your usage of an arpeggiator caught my attention😮. Well done there. Keep going and stay encouraged. Splat and Clat, I wanted to try, but maybe when I get more $? Good to see how you applied it in your song though.
I recommend Apple’s USB-C AV dock that has a regular USB and HDMI port. That allows you to connect USB hubs and also an external monitor. My setup changes from time to time as I’m always trying out a different configuration. I picked up this dock that adds more peripherals to the iPad. See the link to the dock in the description.
Yeah most of us don’t need this for the final product. However, it is a useful idea in exploring musical ideas or generating a quick reference. The cool thing about logic is that for the professional it’s an all in one solution. For the amateur, it’s a great “sketch” creator. So no matter where you are in musicianship or creativity, it’s got something for you.
I’m curious if you would like or use AUM. I’ll post a tutorial of how to set things up in AUM and see if it’s something you’d like to get into. Sunday Keys has some great features like the “snapshot” that AUM doesn’t have. If only there were a perfect compromise. It would be MainStage for iPad. C’mon Apple 😆
@@lmayes69 so MIKSensation can do what AUM does in terms of layering and live performance. However, I found it to be a little unstable on its own. AUM seems to be a more stable environment for MKS to run in instead of running it in standalone mode.
Sir, that's one of the best Rhodes I ever heard and that Steinway, too. Been watching you since buying my IPad in '23. Didn't know we could use that Gospel Musicians effects rack separately from it's VST'S. Still got a lot to learn, but I've got my eyes and ears open paying attention. I find this video useful.
Thanks for the feedback and support. I’m glad you’re enjoying the iPad journey. I’m blown away by Moddart Pianoteq 8. For years I’ve been a Mac guy and I’ve invested in quality libraries for that platform. To see this level of quality come to iOS is so inspiring.
Thank you so much for this video. It is well presented and most informative! I am just getting started with AUM and hope to get my midi connection to Modx7+ sorted. Currently somehow I can only receive on channel 1 (even when sending on other channels on Modx.. we shall see! Thanks again.

Thank you for a very informative video. It’s also great for us to have a musician’s sensibilities represented. Of course the app is designed so anyone can use it but I see many videos where it is obvious the content creator is not a trained musician… Just sayin’ this is a welcome change I can relate to. I just subscribed. Thanks again!
Yes another great RU-vidr @Gavinski’s Tutorials discovered this app suite apps.apple.com/us/app/kq-voice-plugins/id6450491216 There is a loopback tool in there that allows you to take the audio from one app and route it into another app. There might be some slight latency in some cases. Check your audio buffer settings to compensate.
for other daws on PC check out acon digital remix. its a vst plugin just stick it on an audio track and add an mp3. you can then control volumes and the sensitivity of stem seperations. or simply volume adjust, or mute or enable each vocal piano bass drums or other. it can also output to 5 seperate tracks for stems. and it does it live. a second good alternative is serato sample 2. search youtube for both of them for demos
Try using a screen cleaning cloth (one for the iPad) to make sure your multitouch surface is smooth so that it can read your gestures correctly. I hope this helps.
Hey Doc, thanks excellent clip here. If Logic releases the session guitarist, yes I'm coming here first. Again, This was really good for Gospel Musicians!
