anp27 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Anybody have good workflow tips they would like to share? This question is directed especially towards all you Logic power users out there.. hopefully your tips will benefit the rest of us! I've checked out Danski's Pro Blog and he had some nice ones, just wondering if there were any forum members who had something to add. Cheers!

triplets Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Recording: Keep your input signal around -6dB when tracking. Try to get the best sound you can when miking. Don't try fixing it in the mix. Practice the part before you record, don't waste time doing 50 takes. The better your source, the less you have to edit later. Just some basic principles I follow.

peachboy Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Create a good template (or templates) to use as your default foundation that relates specifically to your setup. I have a variety of different templates that autoload depending on the project. (e.g music project, sound design, orchestral arrangement etc). Keep personal projects well organised. In my younger days I would make the foolish mistake of naming every whim of a new composition by some fancy title, meaning after a few years I have thousands of projects with ridiculously stupid names, all of which bare no relation to the corresponding music, making searching for particular compositions a nightmare. These days all personal projects are simply saved as a number giving an instant indication of chronology. Any tune that make it past the first draft stage I simply revisit and place a bracket after the number with a working title contained within.

I have read about the project naming idea using numbers before and might try it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
