It is then modulated to give it more character with perhaps a low frequency oscillator adding movement or a sub bass oscillator adding depth and bass. This is then filtered by frequency to give some bass or treble characteristics. This might be a sine, square or sawtooth waveform, usually something fairly simple. The building blocks of basic analogue synthesis are that you always start with a signal generated by one or more oscillators. We’ll concentrate on the synth side of Logic because it is so well endowed in that department, and the bulk of the tutorials will be on Retro synth because that is the newest of the additions (see box opposite for more on the rest) although we will look at updating the sounds of one of the ES range in the final step-by-step tutorial.Įasier Than you Might Think Before you shy away from this thinking you need a degree in synthesis to understand what is going on, don’t! Because you don’t! A simple understanding of signal flow is all you need. And that is what we are going to do here. There’s a good argument to say that you could simply just get in there and start making music using the thousands of preset sounds on offer and why not? That is what they are there for after all… There are many people who have produced many tracks with Logic presets all over them and Apple loops have found their way into many an album track and single so who are we to say ‘don’t use them’? But, as ever, if there is a ‘proper way’ of doing something it is probably balancing using what’s on offer with a little (or a lot) of your own input.Īnd that means getting to know the instruments within Logic a little more and gaining the confidence to either produce your own sounds from scratch or tweaking the existing ones either dramatically or subtly to create something that you can quite easily call your own.
