So I got Logic Pro X a couple weeks ago and I have been learning the app by buying Logic Pro x explained series and then just buying a monthly subscription for one month to Groove3.com. I should have just got the monthly subscription instead, it would have saved me a few bucks. So I can play piano, meaning I know my chords and such, but for this little 16 bar exercise which I copied a couple times, I wanted to use just AXE-FX II as the controller, do a flex pitch on the guitar part and convert the flex pitch data to Midi in which I could use any of the built in synthesizers within the product. I did use alchemy player which is free on their web site.
The Axe-fest last year had a lot of great artists there, but the one that got the most out of was Carl Ryland. He blew me away, with his orchestration knowledge and just down to earth, regular guy. So this was my attempt to add Brass, Violins, and other synths, by first creating a guitar part then converting it.
This is a semi complete 16 bar song that I basically did in two sittings. What I would do is add a drummer Track and grabbed the tempo down to 91 bpm, something I don't usually do. So now I have the drum groove going and I play a few guitar chords using the Axe-FX and then Flex pitch it and make that a synth pad. From there I do this repeatedly adding each instrument, and sometimes duplicating the synths, doing a third and fifth up and then creating a stack Track.
Logic Pro X is great for one man Bands. Being able to get an idea out pretty quickly is awesome.
So this isn't my style of playing and I don't usually write music, but I am trying, because I do love learning new tools.
So here is the song, there is one guitar part playing and everything else is just guitar converted to midi.
I thought it would be cool to do a solo over it some time. some other day.
Cheers.
