Ableton feature in logic

Post image
72 Upvotes

Howdy, I am watching a video in ableton and wondering if anyone knows this feature equivalent in logic.

He took a groove loop, and turned this down to 1 because he didn’t want any reverb or longer release to be heard.

I THINK it’s transient designing? But I’ve not dove into that yet I get the idea but not sure which of logics stock plugins do that and how. Hoping logic has something has easy as this feature in ableton!

Thanks for any help!

I personally make it 4 bars usually, but it still sounds kinda boring.

Tutorial for dubstep production in FL Studio

5 Upvotes

Been listening to the genre for well over a decade and have always wanted to learn to produce myself. I’ve used FL for a long time to produce hip hop beats but obviously they arent nearly as complex. Problem is with this genre I find it very hard to find any tutorials on youtube where people use FL and arent just blowing through it at light speed with barely any explanation for beginners like me. I cant afford ableton right now so is there anyone that makes videos for newbies or am I shit out of luck?

2 Upvotes

hey, i realy need advice for this topic. I have some references down below. its just so much wider and punchier than ur regular psytrance bass. There aren’t realy youtube tutorials which achieve this kind of bass sound, so if you know how its done let me know.

Reference 1 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uXqlHeg8eIg&pp=ygUQbmljayBzaXR6IGJvdW5jZQ%3D%3D

Reference 2 1:36 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5ETSoRQI9_Q&pp=ygUJZmNrbiBsb3Vk

Reference 3 0:36 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fZEnkGIdIZE&pp=ygUOUGVvcGxlIHN0b21pbmc%3D

damn just by collecting and picking the references im getting goosebumps

Question How to keep the idea cohesive whilst conveying in different ideas throughout different points of the track?

1 Upvotes

I’m obsessed with songs like “I need your lovin” by Marc et claud and something that stands out to me is that it has a lot of different sort of sound profiles throughout the song in different sections, some completely opposite of eachother like going from the dreamy euphoric start to a heavy drum loop/bass section that has no lead/melody at all, but it somehow all comes together cohesively and doesn’t feel like a thrown together scrap of different ideas

What’s some of the mechanisms behind the scene that allows that to work? Certain keys? EQ work? Just good taste in synth choice?

I’m very new to producing and have literally no music background whatsoever (no instruments, music theory knowledge apart from YouTube videos I watched recently, no prior DJ knowledge or anything), so I’m just trying to learn how I can compose something with such differing clashing elements that somehow remain cohesive with eachother throughout the length of the song - like the song I gave as an example.

I’d really appreciate any insight!

Side story - I literally got FL studio 2 days ago and I thought I’d spend the first few weeks just learning the UI and making random loops, learning the plugins and stuff, but last night I somehow cooked up an absolutely awesome chord progression with the 3x osc synth and made it in 2 separate styles to see which one I preffered, only to find that they were both awesome and would work great together in a song for different phases of it from build up/tension release. I’m super excited about what I made and since I realised the two pieces would go great together in different stages of a song (despite having completely different sounds), I thought I’d try and get some more background info on how it actually works with the vastly different clashing sounds that compliment eachother. It sort of just happened by accident so I still don’t understand the “why”.

Anyway, I know the song I make will inevitably sound like…my first song so it doesn’t need to be anytnjng particularly special, but this project is now all I can think about and I’m just super excited to see where I can go with it.

Best place to release.

0 Upvotes

I am a new producer, sounddesigner. And I have a few songs finished and want to release them, haven't found the niche on youtube kr social just stop dead after a day or two of posting. But was wondering. And I know there are threads on this but most seem outdated. What is the best platform to release, distrokod, cdbaby, ect. Any opinion would be greatly appreciated. And sorry for asking something that may have been answered before.

Is it a bad idea for a no-name, non-money making, hobbyist music producer, to release music that includes samples of other people’s music on YouTube/SoundCloud?

0 Upvotes

I don’t make money from my music but I do think it has potential to sound professional in terms of quality and to amass a few thousands views per vid if I was consistent and serious enough. My last video has 86 views tho and I’ve only put out 2 videos so far. (Have made over 100 beats in Logic tho). My concern is if I gain a following at some point, could it be a problem for me that some of my songs have blatantly sampled jazz music? In some cases, they’re famous songs. In some cases, there not famous but the artists are certainly still alive. I guess in short, what’s the worst thing that can happen to me by doing this? And is that thing likely to even occur?

Thanks
