Logic pro x drummer review free -

 

X marks the sweet spot for Logic Pro, being accessible enough not to offend GarageBand graduates while pulling enough new tricks to keep the faithful satisfied without compromising its heritage in the process. Drummer is amazing. Flex Pitch works well and sounds good. Gorgeous new interface. Brilliant iPad controller app. Nothing broken or taken away. Toolbar is a pain on smaller screens.

Effects and instruments are looking tired. The odd graphical glitch and minor bugs. The first thing that existing Logic Pro 9 users need to know about Logic Pro X is that nothing has been taken out of Apple's revered DAW in order to make the transition to its tenth full version. All of your Logic Pro 9 projects and earlier logic pro x drummer review free still open in it, and everything you've always known and loved about Logic is still here -the Environment, the Transform Editor and the Hyper Editor now, understandably, renamed Step Editor.

So relax - Apple hasn't broken Logic. The only logic pro x drummer review free anyone might have in stepping up apart from griping about the lack of an upgrade перейти from v9 is that Logic Pro X drops support for bit plugins. The vast majority of Audio Units plugins made the move to bit ages ago, but it is possible that one or two of yours might still be stuck in the past.

However, Logic Pro 9 and X can coexist quite happily on the same Mac, sharing their content libraries and even running at the same time, so you can at least go back to old projects in 9 as needed during your switchover period.

You don't have to install everything, of course, but we were quite flabbergasted to see that there's still no option to install the Library on an external drive without manually creating a symbolic link - not something the average user is going to know how to do. Our irritation at that, though, was countered by an unexpected improvement in the performance of the notoriously crash-happy AuValTool - Logic's validation system for plugins.

On first launch, it cheerfully and quickly went through our entire and enormous collection of instruments and effects without so much as a hiccup, passing every single one.

It's the little things…. As we all knew it would, Logic Pro X has indeed gone through a Final Cut Pro X style redesign, but unlike that pro video fiasco, this time Apple has done it right. With its cool, dark logic pro x drummer review free and embiggened icons, controls and legending, it's clearly doing everything it can to make those transitioning from GarageBand feel logic pro x drummer review free home.

And it looks all the better for it, the colour scheme classy and gorgeous in the low light of the studio. There are too many tweaks and improvements to the UI to list, but chief among them is that the Piano Roll now hosts controls for logic pro x drummer review free, swing and more, and the Score Editor has been completely redesigned to be more usable.

The Transport is now at the top rather than the bottom, and the main menus are reworked to be more logical, moving lots of previously scattered functions into the new Record, Mix and Navigate menus, for example, and repositioning the Track menu in the main menu bar, rather than the Arrange page.

The Library has been moved from the right-hand side of the interface to the left logic pro x drummer review free tarted up with pictures for everything, while logic pro x drummer review free and pan controls can now be accessed directly in the Track List - thanks, GarageBand.

The tabbed pane on the right still plays host to the previous Loops and media Browser pages, but now also includes the multi-tabbed List Editors page and Note Pads, which enables note taking for individual tracks reflecting the channel strip Note areas as well as the whole project.

The mixer has become a lot easier to use. Effects are re-orderable without requiring a modifier key frikkin' yay! However, despite Apple righteously waging war on skeumorphism in iOS 7, not only are all the faux 'vintage' instrument and pedal interfaces still onboard, but they've been joined by similarly 'realistic' fader caps and rotaries in the mixer. Conversely, Logic's venerable collection of pre-Apple synths and effects plugins look a bit weird and overwrought in the context of the slick new interface.

We're surprised yet not at all surprised to see that nothing's been done in that department at all - it definitely needs to be, though. The upshot of all this is that Logic Pro X is immediately more intuitive than 9, much easier on the eye, and just… prettier and more 'designed'.

It's not all gravy, though. The spatial inflexibility of logic pro x drummer review free Toolbar will wind up those using smaller displays. Previously we could fit a ton of buttons into it and hide text or icons logic pro x drummer review free shrink the whole thing down, but now перейти на источник stuck with a very thick bar containing a customisable set of oversized buttons that MacBook users will only be able to fit about odd of on before the overflow menu at the right-hand end comes into play, with no resizing options whatsoever.

Still, at least it can be killed. Logic pro x drummer review free icons, meanwhile, comprise the same nicely drawn but faintly tedious collection of acoustic and electric instruments, and per-pane brightness controls would be welcome, particularly since dark notes on the Piano Roll can get quite hard to see.

All that aside, after an hour or so in X, going back to 9 feels like returning to something from the Atari era - whether or not you see that as a bad thing! The Logic Pro X feature people seem to be talking about more than any other is Drummer, a virtual tub-thumper integrated so deeply into the app as to have its own Track class.

And a Drummer is nothing without drums, so it's accompanied by Drum Kit Designer, a customisable drum kit construction, er… kit. A team of "some of the industry's best session drummers and recording engineers" including Bob Clearmountain, no less were drafted in to put it all together, and the results are pretty amazing.

As to why three of the five knobs are hidden in a separate Details screen, we can only assume, given that the whole Drummer interface looks like an iPad app, that there are plans to integrate it into Logic Logic pro x drummer review free see below at some point. The current region updates its strange triangular note markers in real time to reflect all these changes, and while you can only make changes to a Drummer track region using the controls in the Drummer interface, it can of course be converted to MIDI for full editing.

Drummer's performances are astonishingly lifelike and represent its limited range of genres very well. The15 kits themselves weighing in at 20GB in total sound great, and with Drum Kit Designer enabling mixing and matching of a broad range of drums and cymbals, plus the inclusion of fully mixable multichannel Producer Kit Stacks, complete with overhead and room mics, it all adds up to by far the best bundled 'live' drum production setup ever included with a DAW. It's all hugely impressive and will more than satisfy the songwriter or drummer-less producer looking to get some real percussive feel into their tracks.

For some, though, Drummer will be at its most rewarding when pointed at more interesting sound sources than the relentlessly acoustic ones provided by Apple. We had an absolute riot running it through Battery 4, Microtonic, Tremor and the like.

The equivalent of the macro systems found in other DAWs, Smart Controls logic pro x drummer review free you to assign up to 12 parameters of your choice from the selected track's channel strip, instruments and effects both third-party and Logic's own to a set of MIDI-assignable knobs, sliders and switches wrapped up in a simple GUI housed in the bottom pane. Assignments can be made 'intelligently' by the software or manually; each control can be assigned to multiple parameters,; response curves are fully editable; logic pro x drummer review free all Smart Controls are automatable.

As a decidedly 'Apple' take on the macro concept, Smart Controls are a logic pro x drummer review free success, giving us a clutter-free way to keep key channel and plugin parameters constantly present and instantly accessible. Making the processes of foldering and bussing tracks easier than ever before, multiple tracks can now be nested into fold-away Stacks, of which there are two types: Summing and Folder. A Folder Stack simply groups the included tracks for unified level control, solo and mute, without affecting their routing in the mixer - like the old Folder Tracks, basically, although they're still around, too, should you prefer.

A Summing Stack, on the other hand, mixes the output of all contained tracks to a bus, and can record and play back MIDI on its Master track for triggering all MIDI instruments in the Stack - massive collapsible synth stacks ahoy, then. Stacks can also be made within Stacks, and complete Summing Stacks, with all their components and settings, can be saved into the Library as Patches a new format for Logic Pro X for recall at any time.

Stacks are similar to Ableton Live's Groups and Instrument Racks, but once again, Apple has done a great job of realising the concept in its own style. Whether you just want to gather that string section together in the Arrange page or build the world's phattest multi-synth pad, you'll have a much easier and more manageable time of it now than in previous versions of Logic, not to mention most other DAWs.

The presentation is superb, with the notes of the selected clip overlaid in a piano roll on top of the waveform, each note graphically indicating deviation from perfect pitch and accompanied by expression lines showing vibrato and pitch movement.

All of the involved parameters - Pitch, Drift, Formant, Vibrato and Logic pro x drummer review free -are accessed via a set of handles on each note that you just drag up and down to adjust. It's hard to imagine a more intuitive system, and even absolute beginners will have no trouble getting to grips with it. It also sounds very good indeed - as long as you don't stray too far from the original pitch - and while it doesn't have the toolset to rival Melodyne, it certainly gets the job done.

Crucially, being so easily tweakable, sound designers will have a field day with it. The headline is the well-equipped Arpeggiator, which features all the functions and parameters you'd expect from such a thing, plus both Live and Grid modes for two different styles of triggering. The rest of the line-up includes the self-explanatory likes of Chord Trigger, Note Repeater, Modulator and Randomizer, as well as Scripter, with which you can design your own in code, I hasten to add - this is absolutely not 'Max For Logic'.

Every one's a winner, and we look forward to seeing how this new aspect of Logic develops moving forward, as they say. After the addition of Amp Designer for guitar processing in Logic Pro 9, X introduces the equivalent for bass.

Bass Amp Designer boasts three amps, six cabs and three positionable mics, plus a mix control for setting the balance between amped and DI signals - nice touch! Also on the guitar front, seven new stompboxes have been added to Pedalboard, including a graphic EQ, an octaver and a flanger. Painfully notable, however, is the total lack of love given to EXS24, which remains the powerful but weird, awkward creature it's always been. You can also create tracks, trigger key commands, load Patches from the Library and even run the Smart Help system Logic's version of Live's contextual help paneinstantly updating on your iPad to describe whatever's under the mouse pointer in Logic.

There's still an awful lot Remote can't do ссылка на подробности it obviously should, however. It doesn't give you any visual representation at all of the arrangement view even though it does let you shuttle the playhead using a timeline ruler or the transport displayand, as mentioned, the obviously iPad-influenced Drummer and MIDI Effects /42112.txt represented by the same Smart Controls as everything else. And is there any reason why Logic's own plugins couldn't be mirrored on the iPad?

Even so, it's an awesome app - and, it's worth saying again, it's free. So, that's the logic pro x drummer review free of Logic Pro X, but there are lots of 'lesser' features, too, each doing its bit to improve the overall Logic experience. Arrangement and Groove Tracks, sharing to SoundCloud and the Mac media browser, the ability to save projects to self-contained Packages or old-school Folders, the aforementioned Live-style rollover Quick Help system….

Drawing on GarageBand to just the right extent and being unafraid to take inspiration from the competition Ableton Live, mainlyX marks something of a 'reset' for the Logic Pro series -and one that was unquestionably overdue.

Apple has consolidated and refined just about every significant pre-existing feature without unhinging any of them, logic pro x drummer review free added to them with a number of welcome new ones that feel instantly at home.

Drummer which we weren't sure we'd like, but really do is wicked; Stacks are a delight; Flex Pitch fills the pitch correction pot nicely; the MIDI Effects hit all the right buttons; and the new interface for all its skeumorphism нажмите чтобы перейти beautiful.

As mentioned, the Toolbar is a pain, the older effects and instruments desperately need some attention, Apple's resolutely 'Californian' attitude to genres and instrumentation is getting tiresome, and Logic Remote clearly has much more to come. But none of that significantly detracts from what is ultimately a truly remarkable application.

Confidently pushing the envelope in terms of workflow and UI without compromising its rich heritage in any way, Logic has returned from the wilderness to rightly logic pro x drummer review free its throne as the king of DAWs.

- Logic pro x drummer review free

 

Hello Logic users, Mike here. You start by simply adding a drummer track to your project. Either from the menu: Track — New Drummer Track. Make sure to drag it to the proper place in your sequencer. For example, at the top of your drum group. Or perhaps even the top of your sequencer altogether. When you have the drummer track selected, you simply open up the library view, where you will find the genre and style browser for the drummer.

The left column is where you choose the main genre, and to the right you have different drummers with unique performance styles that you can try out as a starting point for your project. Whenever you choose a new drummer, Logic will automatically assign the corresponding drum kit. You can see the current selected drum kit in the instrument library below the drummer assignments.

POWER TIP : You can actually change drum kit manually from the instrument library, so that a specific drummer and genre of your choice is performed on a drum kit that you can also choose. It can be a drum kit plugin, or a sample library. As long as it is mapped to the standard general MIDI drum mapping it should work fine. Meaning the kick drum is the same key, the snare is the same key and so on. When you create a new drummer track, Logic will create the first drummer region automatically.

For any drummer region, you can resize it, split it up into several parts, move it in the sequencer. And of course, you can create new drummer regions simply by hovering your mouse at the right side of the track header, or just to the right of another drummer region. For example: the intro section will get an intro type drum performance, the verse will have slightly higher energy, and so on.

First bring up the drummer performance view. Double-click a drummer region, or select one and click E for editors. Every region will have an independent performance based on the AI of this drummer performance view.

The more you move it up, the louder the drummer will make the performance. And the more you move it to the right, the more complex the beat will become. Every time you move this dot, the AI will update the drummer region. You can even use independent beat presets for the drummer on each region inside the drummer track. The Drummer AI works per region, so by creating more regions you can add more variation into your drummer track.

I do this because drummers often add a little fill or variation at the turn of every 4 bars. And also because of the added control I get with more regions. If you want even more control over the drummer track in a transition from one section to another in your track, you can simply cut a small extra region just before the transition point. For example 1 bar, or even half a bar if you want to be really precise.

Then you can dial down the fills knob on the region just before, and increase it on the short transition drummer region. POWER TIP : Since transitions are so incredibly important in music you might even want to convert the short transition region on the drummer track to customize the beat exactly as you want it. You also have independent control over the parts of the drum kit used, per region.

You have a clear visual representation of the drum parts used from the specific drum kit. Take advantage of this for adding even more variation between your regions. You can use the Fills knob, and dial in the strength and complexity of all the fills, the Drummer adds to a selected region. The main fill will always be focused to the end of a region, but the Drummer can also add for example a cymbal crash in the start of a region, and some small extra details in the middle depending on the setting of this Fills knob.

Full swing will be a triplet groove. But you can dial in how much the drummer will swing the beat with this dial. Both the Fills knob and the Swing knob can also be locked, so that you can try out different beat presets without these dials changing.

You can shape and polish the performance with the details button, which has different features depending on the drummer style. And for the electronic kits you can control the complexity range per drum part, as well as the humanize level and phrase variation. You can lock your settings so that you can change the drummer, while still maintaining the performance you already created and shaped.

You can even lock the drum kit, so that it will remain, even when changing to a completely different style of drummer. For example, having a rock drum kit played by a hip hop or EDM drummer. The drummer in Logic is truly remarkable, because even with the same settings on all features you can get a slightly different performance due to some randomizations in the algorithm.

Every time you do this, you will get a tiny variation to the performance. Now you can go in and adjust each drum hit individually. Add or delete notes, control the timing, velocity and so on. For example: Create a new track below the drummer and assign another drum plugin and kit. Then you can mute the drummer track completely, and the new drum plugin that you dragged the alias region to, will still play the performance based on the drummer region.

When checking this checkbox, you can choose which track inside your project the drummer will be influenced by, when creating its performance. However, it is not always working as expected, so you might want to double check. Also, if you change the track it follows, you need to refresh the drummer region, to make it update its performance accordingly. Now, as with almost anything inside the drummer track, this feature is also region based.

So you can have one drummer region be influenced by your bass track, and the next region by perhaps an ostinato strings track.

One of my personal favorite ways of using the drummer in Logic Pro X, is not to create complete drum performances. For example: I can use the drummer for adding fills to my epic cinematic toms. Or spicing up the high-end with stick hits on my Taikos, by using the hi-hat performance from the Drummer track, and so on. Basically: I choose the drum part s from the kit, to create the percussion performance from. Then I choose the drummer, the style, shape the performance, and then I drag and drop the created region to the track I want to use it on.

Transitions and fills are so important in music, for adding that spark of change and anticipation, for something new that you will introduce in the next section of your track. That is why I often use a 1 bar drummer region to help me get a starting point for a fill or transition, that I can then option-drag to one or several percussion tracks in my composition. Then I can go into each of the copied regions and make some customizations to fit my specific needs. But the point is that I get a great starting point, which cuts down the time dramatically.

And I love features that make my composition workflow more efficient! Feel free to Bookmark this Page for future reference! Shape the Style per Region Beat Presets You can even use independent beat presets for the drummer on each region inside the drummer track.

Control the Transitions Create Transition Regions If you want even more control over the drummer track in a transition from one section to another in your track, you can simply cut a small extra region just before the transition point. Change the Instrumentation The Drum Kit You also have independent control over the parts of the drum kit used, per region. Add some Fills Fills Knob You can use the Fills knob, and dial in the strength and complexity of all the fills, the Drummer adds to a selected region.

You can also choose if the swing will be based on 8th triplets or 16th triplets feel. Polish the Finish Details Button You can shape and polish the performance with the details button, which has different features depending on the drummer style.

And again, what is so powerful is that you can control all of these per region. Keep your Settings Cog Wheel — Keep… You can lock your settings so that you can change the drummer, while still maintaining the performance you already created and shaped.

You will find both of these settings if you click the cog wheel beside the beat preset list. Add some Refreshments Cog Wheel — Refresh The drummer in Logic is truly remarkable, because even with the same settings on all features you can get a slightly different performance due to some randomizations in the algorithm.

Power Tip 2 — Percussion Part Creator One of my personal favorite ways of using the drummer in Logic Pro X, is not to create complete drum performances. Go to Top.

Confidently pushing the envelope in terms of workflow and UI without compromising its rich heritage in any way, Logic has returned from the wilderness to rightly reclaim its throne as the king of DAWs. Welcome back. It clearly is an A 1, the event list says so, when you click the note Sup.

What's weird is that melodic synths read the notes correctly. The workaround is to select all the A 1s and transpose them to the other key that Sup. Until they fix that bug. I've just been sticking with using drum kit designer and maybe using Superior to buxtor the snare, kick, and toms.

I wouldn't expect a MIDI loop from anywhere to be able to be converted to a drummer region. Even if you convert an actual drummer region to MIDI and edit it and change it back your changes are gone. I think the trick is that Drummer is like any other instrument, you need to spend time learning it and figure out how it is controlled.

After that you start to see the benefits of having a drummer that you could tell 3am in the morning on a whim to change the drumming pattern on the last chorus. I also tend to remove al ot of shuffle for most pop-related songs to make the 'drummer' more tight. Or then I could tell the 'drummer' to be more sloppy for psychedelic rock projects. Or suddenly tell the 'drummer' that this psychedelic song needs very tight drums. Is this speculation? Can you point to a source that confirms this?

I think that it is based on MIDI loops, and it just grabs pieces of different loops when you change, say, the kick pattern , how busy it's supposed to be, etc.

If you make a cut it has a library of fills to choose from. Seems like it would be a hell of lot easier to program something like that and add more drummers in the future - you just get someone to make some MIDI grooves and you've got "Steve" rather than come up with a completely different algo that plays in a different style. Speculation here, too. No one knows how it works except the team at emagic. I agree completely with vindax and ksandvik. Thanks for pointing out the articulation ID's article.

I always forget about them, and a quick scan of the article mentioned the anomaly I thought was a bug, so next time I care, I will remember to investigate that. FTR, I don't think it is a simple loop browser at all. I think it is a simple interface that masks a very advanced loop browser. My argument is that it is not 'making it up' based upon some sort of algorithm. I'm saying it is using algos to borrow and snatch from a MIDI loop library.

I think the easy addition of new drummer personality in one of the recent updates points to that scenario. Edit: Vindax, I did not see your long post until now, and it is spot on. I probably wouldn't have said anything if I had seen it first. I think it would have been a fun feature if it could detect the dynamics of what you play in real time a feature drummers often are good at , and adjust accordingly.

But it doesn't. Other than that, I think it seems quite OK, it sounds quite human to me, and I'm sure many could use it for demos and more. So in a way it's on the list of unfinished features along with Flex Time, the MIDI editing features, how files are handled, the Articulation ID feature, the easter-egg-ish VCA Group feature, the track name feature and especially many of the Score features.

I completetely agree with Vindax and seeren. And that it is still very easy to do that. Use the Arrangement drag.

Try "following" for kick and snare. Probably the worst part. Even the Logic teacher told the class that. It's easier to export to Pro Tools and go that way. Logic crashes way more than Pro Tools. I don't get it. But, if you can get past all of that, than Logic is the way to go. Please fix all this. You can do so much better than Pro Tools. You have the potential. Take it to the next level!

Apr 26, Version Each drummer is essentially a bank of drum loop families, and you can reassign any drummer's patterns to any other drum kit. You can even tie the timing and complexity in with an audio track, such as a bass guitar, and it will tweak itself on the fly to follow along.

In version Also, a new drum machine designer plug-in gives you new sounds and features for custom electronic drum kits in several different styles. This "virtual drummer" idea has been around for a while, with plugin apps such as Strike and BFD, and the Logic Drummer works in a largely similar way.

In the right hands, it's definitely more expressive than simple drum loops, but even with the new drummers and categories, there's still a loop-based feel to it. The latest version of Logic Pro X also includes new synth patches and 10 classic Mellotron instruments.

The original Mellotron was an instrument that generated sounds via audio tape loops, and was used by bands such as The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and several other progressive rock bands. As an example, you might remember the breathy flute sounds that accompanied Jimmy Page's guitar in "Stairway to Heaven. But beyond just new sounds, you also get some revamped tools.

The piano roll editor has been improved to show more notes in less vertical space and lets you identify drum sounds by name. You can easily compress or expand the timing of selected notes using new time handles.

If you want to add some notes in a specific section, you can use the new Brush Tool in the Piano Roll Editor to click and drag notes that conform to a scale so even randomly placed notes will end up sounding good. The Compressor plug-in has been redesigned with a scalable Retina-ready interface and features seven different models of compressor, including a new Classic VCA voltage-controlled amplifier model, designed to simulate famous real-world compressor hardware from Neve, Focusrite, and others.

New automation features let you add automation to a region rather than the whole track.
