This time I decided to do a Logic version! Free download: bit.ly/3J5wfuQ Download contains - Logic X Project file - Serum Presets Folder - Audio Samples - MIDI folder - Some notes about the track
THIS WAS AMAZING! I already had the original opened on another tab and saw this one, this one sounded awesome and was super close to the original! Nice job bro
Only flaw is the transition at 1:53 starts with only the kick drum and no snare or hi hats. Incredible otherwise. Production rocks and you nailed those arpeggios in the intro!
wow is so cool to enter in your channel and see that you have some songs in ableton and now one with logic pro!!! which daw do you prefer?? i think i prefer logic pro... but well, all them are good if you know how to use it. i send to you a big hug and i hope you keep making music because you are so talented...
hey! God your chords are almost identical to the original. I’m a beginner but would a Mac 24 be good enough to experiment and make things like this? Thanks so much!
Thank you! And of course! I'm using a few Logic stock plugins (not many) and Serum, although you could probably make this with stock synths too. You just need to install Logic :) It's important to work on the harmony and the melody. So a lot of MIDI work.
The side-chain trigger is a sound that basically tells the compressor when to compress. If you want to side-chain a sound to the kick, then, logic says the trigger should be the kick itself, the problem with that is the kick usually has a tail that will create a long side-chain no matter how short the release of the compressor is, so, by using another sound that's very short you can have full control of the length of the side-chain by adjusting the release of the compressor. Also, that sound should be totally silent since it has no musical value, it should just be a click, an impulse, that simply triggers the compressor. Hope that makes sense.
The arp is a single saw wave with a plucking low-pass filter envelope. Key to nailing the sound is to use a good amount of resonance on the filter (quite literally) which gives it that 'acid' tone. There is also some layered white noise, reverb, OTT, a lot of delay, and then the midi notes are quite complex but essential to getting the sound right. Then the cutoff is automated to add more movement & evolution as the track progresses.
