You can create a Performance via the Channel Strip settings menu using the ‘Save As Performance…’ option, then assign it a program change number. Going one stage further is the Performance feature, which effectively allows you to call up a Channel Strip setting (complete with instrument and effects) via a program change.
When the duplicate version of the song is slid over, you’ll find that the markers, tempo markings and time signature changes are all in place as well.Ĭhannel Strip presets are a great way of recalling a software instrument setting complete with effects. Now, when you select all of the song (Edit>Select All), Logic will select both the audio/MIDI regions and the associated Global Track information. If you’re trying to duplicate an entire song from within a project (if, for example, you wanted to create an instrumental version of a track), it’s worth opening Global Tracks.
Set the Amount slider to 0.50 to achieve the correction pitch intonation and tracking. A clever twist is to use the Keyb modulation source routed to the Cut-off 2 Target as a means of directly controlling the Filter’s pitch from the keyboard. When the resonance is pushed to an extreme (especially on Filter 2), the filter will produce a distinctive pitched sound that’s not entirely dissimilar to a sine wave. By contrast, whenever you’re resting on an instrument track, Logic optimises the particular channel strip’s plug-ins to deliver the lowest latency possible, irrespective of whether you’re playing the instrument or not.Īs well as using the ES2’s three oscillators as starting points for a sound, you can also make use of its extremely powerful self-oscillating filters. A simple technique to remember is to always run the final mix with the current selected channel being an audio track – potentially saving you a few precious cycles of your CPU power. Even with today’s multi-core CPUs, it’s easy to end up with a project that uses up a lot of your computer’s resources.
