  1. Brilliant, thanks. I did find that MIDI section, but didn't dig deep enough while in there so thanks for the clearer instructions.
  2. So, I bought an Alesis Strike Multipad, which also acts as a drum midi trigger for the computer. Used it briefly in Logic Pro X (latest version) on Big Sur on Mac. Didn't like it so got a refund from shop. But now, whenever I open Logic I get a banner flag up saying "Instrument "Alesis Strike Multipad" sends to a MIDI port named "Alesis Strike Multipad" of MIDI interface "Alesis Strike Multipad" which no longer exists. Please check if all MIDI interfaces are connected and switched on; otherwise adjust the instruments MIDI out port setting." I've attached screen grab too. Anybody know how I can stop this annoying banner popping up every time I open Logic as I don't own this Alesis anymore. When I click the blue 'OK' box it goes away and everything is ok, but just annoying having to click it each time I open Logic.
  3. Just wondering what you guys find the most straightforward way to program drums is in Logic. There seems to be several ways of doing this. For me I don't like the virtual drummer as you have to move perimeters around – volume and complexity – and then convert the resulting drummers beat to midi so you can get it exactly how you want it so this is not good for me. Basically I choose a new software instrument track and then pick an electronic drum machine and then create a midi region and tap out the drum beat on my keyboard pads with metronome going and then edit and paint in beats where I need them. Does this sound like the best/most straightforward way of programming a drum track?
  4. Hi David Apparently, when you go through this on a different browser, or computer, it generates a different chapter/page/word. I did it on both browsers on my iMac, so I then went onto my laptop and it generated a different chapter/page/code and, third time lucky, it worked for some reason. Anyway, sorted that way. No idea what happened as I checked and double-checked I had the correct word during the first two attempts.
  5. Peachpit are totally useless when it comes to customer service, it simply doesn't exist. Anyway, I'm sorted with it now.
  6. I'll try a few more times and see if the new generated one works, but I'm losing patience with it to be honest. I did have the previous version of this book, which was excellent. But, really, at £50 there should be a CD, it's cheap on the part of Peachpit to charge such an amount for a book and then not include a 20p CD with it.
  7. Ok, I’m trying to replicate the ‘Production’ style of the band Empire Of The Sun. They are kind of a dance/electronic/pop band from Australia. I’m trying to get the drums, bass and vocal production flavours as close to this as possible using Logic Pro X (latest version 10.4.8) on an iMac. I just love the production style/quality of this band and it fits perfectly with the style of songs I’m working on at the moment: dance/pop/electronic. I am sure this band are using a drum machine, not a drummer, as the production suggests this. The drums are typical drum machine style. The bass is a nice smooth fat rounded dance style bass sound and the vocals seem to have a ‘transistor radio’ type quality, with reverb and possibly some delay. So, below I’ve put the links to three of their most popular tracks, and these are typical of the band. Anybody care to have a quick listen and then give me some Logic Pro X software instruments for the bass and drums and some settings for vocals? I don’t have any additional plug-ins in Logic Pro X, just what it came with when downloaded from Apple. So far, the closest I can get to this bands bass and drum sounds in Logic is by creating a drum track using the Ultrabeat drum machine sampler with its ‘Retro Machines’ chosen from its built in drum kits. For the bass I’ve chosen the Stringer Bass. Vocals, I have no idea what settings to add here to achieve this guys transistor radio style effect. If anybody fancies having a quick play around in Logic for 10 minutes or so to help me achieve this style I’d really appreciate it – a lot – as I’m kind of struggling to get anywhere near their sound. I’m aware that this band probably have a load of out-board equipment, but I’m sure I can get in the ballpark just with what the basic Logic Pro X has.
