Don't know if this is interesting to anyone, but here's what I've got going on for this mix I was working on. Pretty simple.
I’m working late, cos I’m a singerrrrr.
Okay, I think I’ve figured out the structural changes to this song so I can record it. Setting it all up in Logic is really a version of @joeldrapper making sure the room is ready to paint 😂 This room is *so* ready to paint! Now I just have to... paint it…
Here's the basic layout I'm working with in Logic Pro. As I add more categories of things, I'll create summing stacks (busses) for those, as well with their own send tracks for global fx. This is a fairly good translation of how I'd set things up on a console, although it looks a lot different.
I changed this a little bit already, so this screenshot isn’t totally complete, but yesterday I set up a UA Luna template to work how I’d have if I were working on a large-format console like a Neve, API, Trident or whatever. #musicproduction
This is an insane post. It’s asking if you could start using a sampler enjoyably with no music theory or production knowledge. How can you play in time or in key if you don’t know what those words mean?
Learning how to use this thing has been a good distraction this week.
I spent all day setting up cremation and figuring that stuff out. I just got back to my hotel, looked at my phone and realized that my favorites were my mom and dad, but my mom doesn’t have her own phone anymore because she has Alzheimer’s and my dad is gone. So now I’m crying again.
Beat fascism!
I made it to Las Vegas on my roadtrip from Portland to Knoxville. I’m afraid this trip will end in tears, but at least this was cool.
