Logic Pro X: Producing Electronic Music
-
3:16 Introduction & Vocal Playthrough
Larry welcomes you and gives an introduction to the series and an overview of the content that will be covered, as well as a play-through of the vocal, so you know what the track will be based around.
-
8:27 Channel Strip Settings to Process the Vocals
See how to take a vocal channel strip preset from Logic Pro X and adjust it so you have a solid vocal sound to start from. Also see how the Bounce Tracks In Place feature is used to print these effects while maintaining your track structure.
-
6:18 The Kick
Next up, Larry designs a kick drum in the brand new Logic Pro X Drum Synth. Discover how to tweak the tone, saturation, sweep and decay parameters, tailoring the kick drum sound to the track. He then demonstrates how to create a basic EQ curve to focus the kick better sonically.
-
10:22 Sequencing the Groove
In this video, dive into Logic's new Sequencer, starting with an electronic drum kit preset, creating a pattern, and then replacing some of the sounds to tailor them to the track. Larry then shows you how to alter some of the pattern attributes, making the groove more interesting, including adding a snare roll using the note repeat option.
-
5:56 90's Organ Patch Sound Design
Watch as a 90s style organ patch is created with Logic's ES2 using a perfect fifth tuning, and layering oscillators and saturation effects. A drop melody is then recorded, to use later in the track's development.
-
13:21 Quick Sampling the Organ Patch
Discover how to create old school vibes by sampling the organ patch and playing it with the brand new Quick Sampler virtual instrument in Logic Pro X. The ES2 organ patch is resampled and replayed using the melody from the previous video. This sound is then processed through the Channel EQ, Bitcrusher and Overdrive. Finally, rhythmic reverb is added with Chromaverb.
-
10:14 Adding Chords to the Track
It's now time to add chords to the arrangement, which is achieved by using a combination of the Chord Trigger and Transposer from Logic's MIDI FX, which control a basic piano patch from the Sampler. Finally, Larry re-samples one chord from the lick and again triggers this through the Quick Sampler.
-
7:46 Adding Bass to the Track
See how a bassline is added to the track using the Sequencer's Learn option, which adds a baseline using Logic channel strip bass presets.
-
7:23 Adding a Vintage Break
In this video, Larry takes an amazing vintage break Apple Loop and chops it up using the Quick Sampler?s optimized option. This allows you to make a drum edit alternative and also shorten the envelope to create a choppy variation.
-
7:59 Live Loops Pt. 1
The brand new Live Loops workflow is demonstrated, and Larry populates the Live Loops view with sounds he already created in Tracks view, which are ready for scene generation and your Live Loops jam.
-
10:21 Live Loops Pt. 2
Discover how to move cells around, record directly into a cell, and also add Apple Loops. Larry also tweaks some cell settings on the vocal parts to make sure they loop correctly.
-
11:40 Live Loops Pt. 3
In this video, Larry demonstrates how to move and duplicate scenes, and generally tweak your Live Loops configuration to be ready to jam out a live arrangement.
-
7:09 Live Loops Pt. 4
Larry performs a live arrangement jam with Live Loops, triggering scenes to create an outline which will then appear back in tracks view, so you can further tweak things and add arrangement FX.
-
14:48 Final Arrangement Tweaks
Wrapping it up, Larry adds some arrangement FX presets from Logic?s library, to better punctuate the track and arrange the vocals. He also adds some basic effects to the vocals to give them more space.

Really enjoyable course
This course is great fun and covers so many of Logic's features. You will be using the Step Sequencer, Quick Sampler, Live Loops, Voice Patches, MIDI FX, lesser used Software Instruments and more. It does require a slightly more than basic familiarity with the software though, so if you really are a complete beginner to Logic, you may find it too overwhelming. Larry goes at a good pace and the momentum doesn't let up - in a good way. The course doesn't drag. if I had one constructive comment, it would be that he can be a little inconsistent in explaining how he does things. For example, he selects all notes in the Piano Roll at one point and then re-sizes them to the same length, but doesn't actually say what key command he used to do this; he flex-times the vocals, but it's not clear how/where this has been done. Overall, the course is great fun, very informative, and eye-opening in how it brings together Logic's various tools and shows how they can be pooled together to create something cohesive-sounding.

Really terrible
The first two videos it seemed like the instructor had no real intention and was mumbling to himself while he clicked around Logic’s interface. He used preset channel strips without explaining his choices or what they were accomplishing.

1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I learnt the trumpet and piano around age 12 and then guitar a couple of years later. I played in a few indie bands for a few years until I discovered the turntables and Dj'ing. I then swapped the guitar for the synthesizer and the stage for the Dj booth and the rest is history!
2. What training have you had?
I completed a diploma in sound engineering and music technology from islington Music Workshop in London. I am also level 1 certified in Logic. The most important training I have received though is sitting for hours on end at my studio making music!
3. When did you get into recording?
Recording demos for the indie bands I mentioned earlier. Then recording vocals for my tracks as DEF inc. and laterally Rebel Sonix. I also worked in London studio Rollover in around 2005.
4. People you have worked with/for?
I've remixed Coldplay, Kylie, Roots Manuva and John B. Labels I have released on include Parlaphone, EMI, Fingerlickin, Eight Fx, Quantum, Botchit and Scarper amongst others. I have composed music for Sony Playstation games, Sky tv, J&B Whiskey, Lexus cars and the BBC to name a few. I have produced online tutorial videos and have had a 1 hour production video in Music Techs magazines cover DVD. I have also Dj'ed at events such as Glastonbury festival and Miami WMC and touring extensively all over the world.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
Well hopefully I have a clear and concise training method mixed with a serious passion for making music. I have previously worked for Apple teaching Logic and also regularly lecture on Logic and electronic music production. I also teach the Ministry of Sound DJ academy in London which involves teaching an introduction to Djing as well as in depth seminars on using NI's Traktor and also Serato Scratch Live. As a producer making cutting edge electronic music, I have to remain at the forefront of new sounds and production techniques. I mix my time between different areas of the music industry - production, remixing, DJing and also teaching which allows me to develop all those skills simultaneously - so I can improve my teaching ability whilst also continuing to develop as a producer (something which you never stop doing!)
