as always, killer video mate! goes without saying that you're a very intuitive teacher, dedicated to the craft and your subscribers! thanks a lot for doing what you do.
Was totally about to learn a new DAW, bigwig, for its modulation options. So thanks for this video, I can remain in logic to finish my songs out of the box and get weird finalizing things with modulation.
OMG it's almost like you knew what I needed... hahahaha currently working on a remix and yesterday I was looking for a way to creat some sweeping fx on sounds without having to automate like 6 tracks which meant committing them and then one by one automating them to do what I wanted, but if I needed to change the arrangement that becomes a real pain. This is just perfect. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, you have definitely saved me a great deal of time.
this is definitely a great tutorial about a tool that I discovered just now.... so thanks a lot. It's complicated, but explain everything in an understandable manner!
So I figured out that if you use two modulator plugins on the same track and put them in the right order, the first modulator can modulate the second modulator! Super fun!
Hey, MusicTechHelpGuy, I don't care what others say, I still think that YOURE THE BEST SFLOGICNINJA ever (the trick @ <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1360">22:40</a>). :):)
Why can't i pair it to a plugin parameter, somehow in my target menu i don't have the Learn new parameter function, i only have Learn, which for some reason is not reading any knobs or the cutoff frequency for example, it just goes dead, a straight line on the lfo graphic, can you please help?Many thanks
You are an absolute legend with all your tutorials thank you very much. I’m considering to buy your Divine Waves pack to support you and have some extra amazing sounds in my bank!
Thanks bud, your videos are definitely the most helpful on RU-vid. One thing-am I right in saying that you could create a kind of inversion by changing the phase of the LFO to 0.5 so that the wave always starts at the top (drop-down menu at the bottom of the Modulator)? It doesn't work for the Envelope of course, but I've used it as a bit of a workaround with Single mode with the LFO
Hey I’ve been wondering: How would you construct a signal chain that would allow you to use your own voice input via microphone and be pitch corrected (to a chosen scale for example) and multiplied to become a choir that pitch-shifts that corrected input according to the midi input you would trigger via midi keyboard in real-time ? I sing into the microphone, it gets pitch corrected to scale, then multiplied and pitch- shifted to become a choir that sings the diatonic notes I’m telling it to sing via midi keyboard? It’s like a vocoder and harmonizer but I don’t want that synthesized robotic effect I get with the evoc20. I just want my singing pitch shifted and multiplied. I tried to construct it by myself with pitch correction and vocal transformer, but it doesn’t harmonize correctly. Any ideas?
The singing in real-time with tuning is pretty easy. Both Autotune Pro and Waves Tune Live can do that. I've worked with some artists in the past where the Autotune sound is part of their vocal sound. So I've recorded people through the autotune plug-in and had the audio printed to audio. There's probably a way to make it work using Autotune to tune in realtime with minimal latency, and then use the Antares Harmonizer, or the Harmonizer in iZotope's Nectar 3. Both of those allow you to control the harmony with your MIDI keyboard. Although I've never tried to do this in real-time!
MusicTechHelpGuy thanks for the reply. Yeah, my intent is to do it with logic’s stock plugins, no third- party stuff ;) Because recording multiple voices one after the other is not that tough to construct your own choir so to say Anyway, maybe someone else has an idea how to properly construct this
Great video! I've used the LFO to create a pulsing/swell effect by sending it to volume and setting the rate to 1/4 (so, think: ONE and TWO and THREE and FOUR and) but I can't figure out how to adjust it so that the keystroke triggers the lowest volume and then swells to max volume in between the quarter notes (think: one AND two AND three AND four AND). Is there a way to adjust that, or is that due to the drawback you mentioned about not having the capability to invert the direction of the modulation? I got a bit lost at the end where you talked about the workaround with the scripter, but is that a possible workaround if my goal can't be achieved within the modulation plugin itself?
Anyone know if there’s a way of increasing the pitch depth of the modulation? The max to my ears is a fifth (e.g. C to G) but I’d like a whole octave. Also, if using a square wave, is there a way to make the wave start on the vertical rather than the horizontal part of the wave? This affects which direction the notes move.
I was looking for a stock plugin where I can draw the LFO Curve which then is supposed to control the cutoff of a filter plugin running on an audiochannel. Not sure if im overlooking something but it seems like you can only control parameters which are in the same channel strip and only insert midi effects to software instruments. I can imagine there is some routing solutions to that but Im not sure if this is handy. Anyways, great tutorial as always. This software is amazing too. I don’t own a sports car but in terms of Software im driving a ferrari :-D
Not directly. There is a workaround though: set the Audio Track to No Output, create a new Instrument track, insert any instrument (Test Osc for example, volume all the way down :), insert a stock Logic compressor on that track, set the side chain to use the Audio Track of your choice, and set the Compressor's filter to "Listen". Now you can insert MIDI effects on the Instrument track. Laurent Veronnez (Airwave) explains the trick in detail here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xLp8yiLKWvY.html.
Load up any software instrument track. Select the track. In the inspector on the right side of the screen you will see the channel strip for the selected track. (If not, press "I" to show the inspector). On the channel strip you will see a slot labeled "MIDI FX". Add the Modulator there.
Thanks a lot for your tutorials! Really really helpful. About the invert issue, if you want to invert the LFO you could also set the LFO trigger phase to 0.5 and it would first go down instead of up, right?
I just got logic and everything is complicated by default, I don’t think able would be any easier, but I’m fast on garage band so I’m already starting to pick things up!
