#MIXING IN LOGIC PRO X PRO#
And finally we have touch mode, which is the same as latch except that the parameter snaps back to it’s original value as soon as you let go of the fader, as if there was a rubber band on it. In the following guide I will share with you my complete process of setting up a Logic Pro X Master Project Template for Music Composition, Songwriting and Production in Logic Pro X. Latch mode is probably the most intuitive despite having the weirdest name: whatever parameter you are working with simply stays at the level of the last move you made until you change it. In write mode, any moves you make instantly and permanently overwrite whatever automation was there before– use with caution. Any moves you make to the faders aren’t recorded. It’s not as complicated as it sounds: in read mode, the automation is simply played back. The first thing to understand are the different modes of automation, which have weird names that are based on how analog consoles work and naming conventions from 50+ years ago. In this clip from his class “ Intro To Logic Pro X,” veteran producer Travis Kasperbauer explains the basics of automation in Logic Pro X. Another common use of automation in electronic music is your basic filter sweep in which you automate EQ shape over time to let a sound “emerge” like the “get low, get get low” sample that starts at :22 in DJ Snake “ Get Low” and builds into the drop. In electronic music, automating the envelope is the key to your basic rise, slowing bringing up the level of a snare roll for example. Automation is often used to change the blend of those samples throughout the song, for example bringing up the level of the “crack” sample during the big chorus where the snare needs to cut through more. The “snare” might be made up of several snare samples: one for the crack, one for the body, one for the ring, and so on. Built for mixing in post-production with recorded tracks/stems for live processing during service or recording live off-the-floor, Worship Start’s Logic Pro X Mix template makes mixing Worship music stress-free and saves hours of work.Brandon Lawryshyn has created a template that is completely pre-mixed and cleanly organized for you, using 100 Logic Pro X plug-ins. For example in rock or metal, drum tones are usually a blend of several layers of samples. A few common uses for automation include bringing up the lead vocal up a few dB during the chorus, automating EQ shape for the filter sweep effects that are almost ubiquitous in electronic music, or automating panning for effects that add color.įor a pretty obvious example of how you can use automation, check out Taylor Swift “ You Belong To Me.” At about :35 you can very clearly hear the drums come way up in the mix, bringing in a lot of energy to compliment the stronger vocal delivery and building up to the chorus at :53. For more advanced applications, listen to “ Anaconda” on headphones for some of my personal favorite examples of subtle uses of automation that add dynamics and interest to the song over time– I love how the effects bounce between channels.Ī good mix will often have hundreds, if not thousands, of automation moves. If you’ve ever struggled with a mix where (for example) the snare sounds great in the verse but not in the chorus, then automation is probably the answer. Automation allows you to fine tune just about any element of your mix, enabling you to change volume, panning, EQ and even effects parameters over time. Automation is often the difference between a good mix and a great mix.
