1. Intro: Hey, there. Welcome. I'm Mark. Robin of the recording tour. I am an independent recording artist who would
have graduated with a bachelor Finance degree in digital media arts that deals with music production
and sound engineering. Thank you for coming by and I hope that you enjoy your stay. I really do love music. This is a basic course in
sound design in logic X. What I mean by sound design, the way that you shape
and adjust refine your instruments and shape the sound so that
you can be unique. You can be different. You can have a competitive
advantage and you can have your own unique signature sound in how you make
your productions. So in addition to that, I'll say, what you can learn
in this course as follows, such as the thought processes,
choosing your sounds, using a node guide to organize your music and also sound
shaping and listening. Thank you very much. This is Mark Robin and leave a review, comment, follow,
tell your friends who are interested
in learning this. Thank you very much. Goodbye.
2. Thought Processes: Hello. I'm grabbing
our recording to, and this is the sound
design course in Logic BX. So without further
ado, let's proceed. So before we start, I'd like to tell you that the
first topic we are going to deal with is
the thought process. Okay, so let's dive in. So before we even start that, let's just check some
parameters, go to region. You select your instruments, and you put quan ties
to one 16th note, which is very good
foundation to start with to keep timing so that when you put
your truck together, it can be in time,
at least reasonably. All right? Yes. The other thing is
that when you add on your sound design processing, it can cause the
levels to overshoot, so you don't want them to
be going into the red. So we are going to
be professional and pull down the feeders
at least a little bit. It's at Unity gain. Put it down to
about minus three. Okay, for good
practices and so on. All right. So that's that. So let's talk about processes,
the thought processes. So in this thought process, we'd like to know what we're
going to make exactly. So let's write it down. So
we'd like to make, let's say, for example, something
with energy. Okay. And also, it
has some warm tunes. And also, we want to have
some business going on there. We want to have
something sounding big. So Energy, warm tones,
business, sounding big. Okay? The topic that we can put is one that deals
with motivation, okay? So I went with my title after, but it's a good
practice to have it at the start or after depends on which process
works best for you. So we have motivation
here, right? From motivation, we
can have energy, okay, which is the drive
to keep you going, the warm tunes to symbolize your satisfaction
in accomplishing a goal while you're
being motivated, the business to show
that even though you got the satisfaction
of the warm tunes signified by the warm tunes, you keep consistent
and you're not settling and sounding
big to show that, Hey, you're leading up
to something big, okay? Right. So that's that and all to support the
topic of motivation. Okay? So I guess the genre
could be a rap genre, type of rap up, okay? All right. So that's that. So this was the thought process
so far in what we want. Alright. So now we're going
to move on to the next stage, where to get the sound. I see again, we're going to move on to where to get
the sound. Thank you.
3. Choosing right sounds : Okay, so let's continue with making the right
sound. So let's proceed. I have an EQ here
alluded already. So let's adjust this
high hat to represent the busy part of
this system here. So this is it here.
But what happens, you can see to the bottom
here being triggered. So I want to have more life and more brightness in this hat, you know, to emphasize
the business. So let's go in the upper region. So let's deal with
it on and off. So one way? It's brighter here, definitely. So yes, so we'll
leave that as is. Okay, so that's the kicks the snare kick and
snare, Wm tunes. Alright. We have the
warm tunes here. Alright. The 12 strings,
the pluck, okay. And then we move on to
something big, sounding big. So you could also go back
into Alchemy, right? And let's look for
something big. So you can look at the notes that signifies different
types of instruments. So let's go let's go to Synth. Okay? We can go to
Poly and we can stay so you have the
rap type of kick snare. You can put in the high
heats up and then you pop something fat, nice, smooth. Let's listen to that. Okay. But Okay, let's go across. Okay, so let's skip. Let's add the vibrato
parameter here. So that's with the
vibrato. Let's go without. Let's add some vb to this sound. Get it nice and big. So we leave that there,
and we can tweak that if you put on
the distortion here. Give it some body. So without a distortion, it
sounds like this. But with, it sounds like this. So let's close our eyes.
Distortion on. Okay. Also, we can add to that
by adjusting some things. So let's see what can happen here when
you pre correction, please this adjustment
here in this area. Okay, so we compare up
and down. Let's go. Hold on. Okay, it sounds
fuller, and it's up. So that's that. So that's it. That's where to find the sounds. So we had something the kick. We have the kick
here for the energy, we have the autumn
leaves snare for the reflection and
supporting the kick, we have the warm tones
or the strings If you go up for the business
for the business, we have the Hiatt and
for the sounding big. We have that. So that's it for this session on to the next. I just want to thank you
very much for enrolling. I encourage you to stay
on this journey with me, and let's learn effectively
together and enjoy.
4. Making music with your note guide: We have an idea already of how the instruments are sounding
that I selected earlier on. So what I'm going to do
is just do a record pass, just, you know, capture some of the sound and
then tweak accordingly. And since I already
auditioned or played the different instruments earlier on to hear
they are sounding and did a little bit of shaping, I don't have to worry about, you know, choosing an instrument. That I don't really understand how this song is to then have to choose another one because when I do the recording pass, you
know, it doesn't sound good. No. I already have an idea of the instruments that I
choose, so I can proceed. So let me do a recording pass. A good practice is to leave
a little space at the front. Meaning don't start
to make your beat or your music from the front if you know you might
want an introduction. So that is in case
you want an intro. So I starting from
about five here. Okay. So let's do something. Alright, so let's do this. Okay, so that's that. Let's do the SnNo. Okay, so that's kick and sn. Let's reflex now. Let's make it a little busy. Okay, so let's do that roof. Okay. So that's kick sneer, high heart. Let's proceed again. Back to the note. So we have
the energy from the kick. You have the business
there from the high heart. You have the snare for
some time reflection. Now, let's get the warm
tunes to get that movement. Yeah. Yeah, so continuing
continuing with Alchemy here. 12 strings instrument.
Deep pluck. Let's test it out. All right, so proceeding. One more time. I Okay, so that's that span. Okay, so after just that
one more time. Let's go. But in the sinth one time, Okay, let's take that out. Okay. Okay. Delete that and copy in piece. My have been sounding
a little funny, so just correct that. All right. So that's that.
I'm finished with this. The 12 string is to
represent the warm tune. So the kick is for the energy, along with the snare. The high heart sister
represent the business, consistency about your business, strings is for the warm tune, representing satisfaction
along the journey of motivation and the emotion, the good emotions that you
can experience with it. And this dacnth represents something big to give it
something to move with. So the cake and snare with the business represent
the rap genre, and the 12 strings on the analog stacen represent the pop, fusing it to make a rap
pop, and that's that. So moving on to more sound
design of this that we laid that I laid
here. So let's go.
5. Sound Designing and Listening : Okay, so let's do some
further designing. So, I have my kick here.
Let's listen back to it. Right. So just to note, in order for you to get
a better representation of what I'm doing to
the sound, right? I may have taken off
other processors or plugins that were loaded initially with a
different instrument. So it may sung a
little different, but at least you hear
it sound on here, and then you'll hear what
I'll do it to change the song from how it was
before to how I want it. So let's listen. Let's
bring it up a bit. Okay. Let's listen. Okay. All right. Let's change that sound a bit. So I'll put on a Beast amp. So, listen. Okay. So that's how
it's song in. So off. Alright, so it sounds as though it's less
loose with this on. So I'm going to keep
that sound there. Also, um let's see what
this reverb is going to do. Okay. All right, to my
interest. I'll keep that for the signing pot. Let's go to the snare. Let's just add a plate of food, okay? Sorry, platinum food. Okay. That's interesting to me. So you have the hearts. We can leave that like that. We have the strings, you know. Let's play around with this. Let's add the distortion
a little bit. Solo let's bring it down,
bring it down the drive. Let's aggression,
and so on. Let's go. Alright, so with it off. It's off, right? So
put it on, okay? Now, we add the Vb.
Call the default. Alright, so put it on.
Let's go across there. Okay, so that So verb. Off. On. All right. Let's eye test. Swimming
in reverb. Off. Okay. And then let's go
down to the Scinth. Let's just put on verb. I. On. Eye test. Off. Swimming on. And that's that. So let's listen to
it all together. Mm. Sorry about that. Yeah. Alright, so bring that up. Bring it back dum a bit.
It's about minus three. And that's it for
the sound design. Case, this was basic sound
designing in Logic Pro x, adjusting your instruments for your different perspectives. So thank you very
much for tuning in. I encourage you to follow
me on this platform, stick around, leave a review. Thank you. Happy
to have you, okay. So go and do your
sound designing and be different and
achieve greatly. Thank you.
6. Outro sound: This was sound design in
Logic Pro x. I thank you very much for encountering this class and I hope
to see you again. Have a good one and all
the best on your journey.
