Chromaglow is a great overhaul distortion tool for logic honestly. Like you said, it just has everything in one! I like to just go through some of the presets and play with the mix, sometimes using it parallel when driving very hard!
Great pointers on using these tools. I’ve taken it a step further and dumped a track to midi and then selected other instruments. Mind you, this will give you a great respect for the articulation collection available.
Great video. I am a drummer as well and I am blown away by the grace notes and how you can change your main cymbal. This will be great for switching between verses, choruses and bridges.
I think the chord bar is awesome. 😎 I’ve been writing charts my whole life, so no big. There is also a feature where you can specify the exact chords you want in the players region data itself, using the Editor. The players don’t have to be using strictly identical chord progressions. It’s a fantastic tool for composition because you can try different harmonic structures quickly and accurately as fast as you can think of them. There’s also suggested chord progressions if you’re interested in the input as well. The bass note feature is perfect for creating bass line patterns. I have been able to get everything I want out of the keys and bass. I can’t say enough good things
Thank you so much for going through this. This has pretty much convinced me to buy Logic for the new drummer controls. No more “good enough”. I can now dial in exactly what I want. Looking forward to the videos diving deeper on the new Logic drummer.
Would I be able to play the piano line on my Keyboard and have it appear in that studio keys plug in? Also, I need a BANJO that can follow my melody. Any recommendations?
Another great video. Personally I love / hate what they've done to Drummer. I love the new manual patterns and the ability to pick side stick in a region (though it's too loud compared to center hits), but I hate what I'm hoping is a temporary or personal glitch: splitting regions that have fills will occasionally throw the drum timing off (like way off). The timing gets thrown off both on the fill before the split and the drums that begin right after the split. I have a ticket opened with Apple (not holding my breath), but hoping a future update fixes it. Have you (or anyone else) experienced the same issue creating fills in Logic 11?
The chords are admittedly a chore but after a while trying cutting and pasting sections of chord track or session player regions it doesn’t seem too much of a hassle. And I love the upright bass settings with slap and growl in particular
Your videos are amazing. Just a noob question. Since most people listen to music on mobile phones which have mostly mono speakers, how to get our mix right for phones?
I started off on C-Lab back in the day. C-Lab which eventually became E Magic, which eventually became Logic. Logic 11 has convinced me to take a last blast.
I'm still hesitating about making the move from Garageband to Logic pro. This actually gives me more reason to do so. I didn't know that Logic had that Session player function. I'm sad that they removed the different drummers from the drum program.
It seems that the reason that they removed the different “session players“ is because this selection system had a bit of an amateur vibe to the fact that the system was having us pick a drummer based on his/her appearance and name that were stereotyped to their corresponding style of music. All of the same styles of “drummer“ are still in Logic Pro; however, they are now selected purely by style. All of the same content and playing styles should technically still be there; it is just been controlled by a new user interface.
You can literally make a separate drum cell for where the fill should be I put complexity up to full as an example and it’ll only play the drum fill for the last two beats of a measure.
I sincerely hope that Apple will consider your counsel and implement an AI-driven feature that automatically converts all projects to the appropriate key signature.
Chromaglow sounds great, but just because they say it’s AI doesn’t means it’s better than others. I compared it against Ableton Live’s Roar plugin, and it doesn’t sound as good in almost all applications.

Is Cubase chord track better?

💯 Believe the hype.
Saturation to bring out the snare on dense mixes is my favorite use of saturation.
nice thanks.. a suggestion.. you didn't show where any of these things are.. I'll need to go somewhere else to find that out..
You make such great videos.Much appreciated and Thank you
great master and very simple. thanks, gracias, merci
Very well explained!!! Thank you 👍
Would I be able to play the piano line on my Keyboard and have it appear in that studio keys plug in? Also, I need a BANJO that can follow my melody. Any recommendations?
Thanks for this Colin! Do you plan to use any of these session players with Broke Royals?
People are sleeping on the upright bass - it's really good.

This was great thanks!
Question: I have a 2020 iMac (Intel). Is there a workable way to emulate ChromaGlow using my computer?
Your videos are amazing. Just a noob question. Since most people listen to music on mobile phones which have mostly mono speakers, how to get our mix right for phones?
And I would guess you can sample those bass notes for playing them separately on your keyboard
So good. Can't wait to try out the new features.
Hi, can you create a video on how to create drum tracks using midi 😊🙏
When I copy and paste the region with studio bass, it is not the same exact melody as what was originally pasted in. Why?

How do you get a nice fill exactly where you want in ?

@@kohada64 That is great info K ! TY !

excellent video, however it would have been helpful to make clearer how to implement them for us beginners : )
Ok those session players are cool. And might be the straw that makes me jump up from garage band.

Great for M series
👏👏👏🎸🥁🎻
The instrument sound is way too low
I like your channel...I have a question...How can I use the bass session player with a Neural DSP Parallax sound?
Literally it all sounds the same
