best explanation on the internet that makes understand the use cases to newbe. Please let us know as hardware analog are awesome but have limitations if we can combine the sound IN REAL TIME (playing the synth) of another digital synth in logic and the analogic synth(for ex minilogue xd) via a trackstack so that we can improvise new sonorities

But how do you play articulations in real time instead of manufacturing a part after the fact with tons of tedious editing?

Christ on a biscuit, once again the mysteries of the track window unfold before me. Had been looking for articulation in the piano roll. Did not know I had to load it in. What would I do without you, Jono👌🏻

Thank you so much JB!

Remember to hit 👍

Another great one. Thank you. It’s a pity there isn’t a more “natural” way to apply these articulations. Going note by note with a mouse on the piano roll makes it tough get a feel for how to apply each articulation. Maybe if they could be triggered and recorded using a midi controller (perhaps with the pads) someone could play around until they found something that felt right. Is that possible? As a purely philosophical comment. I don’t like the idea of programming bass to make it “sound real” or “sound human”. It’s sound. It’s real. If it’s monotonous and inexpressive then it sucks. But my opinion is that it’s a mistake to try and make a virtual instrument trick someone into sounding “real”. Anything that makes sound is a real instrument. And faking something never makes for interesting music. But this video is useful, because these articulations can be used to make the bass part more expressive and interesting.

I keep trying to do the glissando effect but it doesn’t seem to work is there a setting i might have missed that you turned on? I think my problem might be with the forced legato but i’m really getting stuck

Thanks for this very instructive video, Jono! This new bass gives us a lot of possibilities which I certainly will be using from now on. Thanks again!

I hope studio acoustic guitar will be available soon

Wonderful - At one point I thought you were going to go all Mick Karn ( Japan ) on us 😃 . Great Stuff JB

Very interesting articulations. This video reminded me to revisit the articulations on some of the studio strings, which aren't too bad for a beginner orchestral programmer. Thanks Jono. Oh and by the way ..... Jazz. NIce I do love a double bass, my profile pic is the give away! ruclips.net/video/MsQYzpOHpik/видео.html. (couldn't resist)

It’s a good thing that we can’t create a fully convincing live player with samples and a battery of articulations. But, it’s also a good thing that we can introduce human elements into sampled instruments if only because it causes us to make decisions which require a deeper understanding of what real musicians do. But also, in certain circumstances, close enough works. I’ve done a fair share of pre-recorded incidental music for small, low-budget theatrical productions using sampled instruments. Just one example: I scored a show with several scenes in Paris for which I created a French cafe trio featuring an accordion. I took an accordion lesson, telling my teacher that I just needed to get a feel for the instrument so that I could maximize the human qualities in my sampled recordings. I worked out my melodies on a borrowed accordion, playing them very badly but establishing accordion phrasing and dynamics. Then I replicated those phrases and articulations on my sampled accordion, playing them on a keyboard. Would live have been better? Without question, of course. Not in the budget. There’s an ad from 50s American TV which ended with, “Only her hairdresser knows for sure.” I was able to make the scenes work. Like your bass line. As always, thanks for your excellent instruction. Cheers.

Useful as always. You are our benefactor. You prove that expensive plugins are not necessary for production. ❤️ In fact, I really like plugins. I have over 2 thousand 😂 of them, but I am increasingly inclined to use plugins from Logic and a few dozen from outside.

yeay

Awesome. Thanks Jono.

Hi, Jono. So I’m having an issue that is similar but a little different then the issue that your experiencing. It’s a little hard to explain but I’ll try my best to explain it to the best of my ability. So as of right now, I have Logic Pro opened and I’m currently creating a song. I have 2 tracks made. 1 for the beat & 1 for my main vocal. And down below in my mixer, I have 6 mixer tracks being shown. 1. The Beat 2. My main vocal 3. My Reverb Send Track 4. My Noise Gate Send Track and then 5. The Stereo Out Track with #6 being the Master Slot Track. Inside of my main vocal track (Audio FX Slots) I have a Channel EQ, DeEsser 2, Compressor and Auto-Tune. Mind you, my vocal track is completely empty…Without anything being recorded under the vocal track, For some odd reason (inside of my headphones) Me actively singing with (Input monitoring) on, the left side of my headphones where my Input Sound is being played back through is noticeably a lot louder then the right side. So long story short, with everything I describe of my studio session right now, the left side of my headphone speaker is a lot louder than the right side and it’s not my headphones themselves, I’ve checked. It’s literally just the track itself, I noticed it would simultaneously fade over as I added each (Audio FX) to my (Audio Effect Slot)…Any Answer on why this is happening and the best solution of how to fix it without messing anything up?

Somewhat important: The Valve, Punch and Transparent options do not work with Intel Macs.

Hi there Jono, I am presently taking your course (orchestration) on line in Teachables and I am having real problems doing a simple command you seem to do very easily in your Logic Pro project. It's the part where you copy a region into another midi track and then add another region from another track into it to edit both music lines. You say to select and copy the first region to the new midi instrument track and then just select and copy the next one in the track below and drag it into the same new instrument track and do command J to insert the 2 regions into one track and then be able to edit them in the editor. I have tried for an hour to do that and I get an error message saying I can't join them because there is only one region. So it seems like whatever I am doing, the second region is not appearing in the track with the first one. What I did to get around is duplicate both tracks and regions into new tracks and regions and then I was able to select them both and join them. I then have to delete the duplicates which is kind of a drag... Anyways, I did not find a place where I can interact with you in the course so I am reaching out in this video. Thanks

It amazes me how you glide around that mini keys keyboard.

I spent a day and a half with studio piano immediately after it came out. I was really hoping it was going to be an improvement. It sounded pretty good. But I was significantly disappointed by it. It wasn't really any better than what I already had. Not nearly as good. Then I compared it to what I already had. That sounded a lot better than studio piano, and what might be surprising about that is what I typically use as my standard lead instrument is the standard pianos in Logic. I've found ways to make them sound much better than the raw versions of the patches, or the gussied up samples in studio piano. In particular, if you take the Steinway grand, which is a Steinway D, and layer that with the Bosendorfer, lower the gain by 4.6 dB on that, use the velocity processor to change the dynamics of both to match, pan the Steinway six clicks to the left and the Bosey 8 clicks to the right, that blows studio piano completely out of the water. (There are a couple notes that are too soft or too loud in those patches as delivered, so the best way to cure that is go into the sampler and fix each note to where it really should be, then save that.) The Steinway by itself sounds a little harsh in the fourth octave, but when you layer the Bosey underneath, which has more of a woody, mellow sound, you get a piano sound that has the attack of the Steinway and the body of the Bosendorfer, and it sounds light years better than either of them by themselves, if EQ-ed properly. Other than the upright, the pianos in studio piano are all just standard Steinways. And they don't sound really any different from the Steinway that's been a part of Logic for over a decade, because they aren't any different. It wouldn't surprise me if they aren't using the exact same samples. All studio piano does is put a pretty interface over the top. Pretty much the same thing studio strings does. The already existing pianos in Logic are already 'stereo miced' in that as the keys get higher from middle C, every three keys are a click panned farther to the right in MIDI, and in the notes below middle C every three keys are a click panned further to the left in MIDI. If you want them to sound like one mic, completely monaural, that can happen very easily. You don't need studio piano to do that. In anything other than just solo piano, especially any mix that has any sort of density (and it doesn't have to be that dense), the bells and whistles, pedal noise, key noise, release samples, sympathetic resonance, etc. do nothing but clutter the mix and make it less clear. Pedal noise, key noise, and release samples are actually defects.They are therefore essentially useless in almost all genres. And if you really want sympathetic resonance, you can layer in the Electro Harmonix patch which simulates that beautifully, and allows you to control how much there is. and if you want the clickiness of key noise to give it a little more attack, you can easily and effectively add that using the Enveloper plug-in. And all the other things, panning, compression, delay, reverb, etc., are all still available whether you use studio piano or not. Arpegiator? Please. Nothing could be more boring than that. It's about as sophisticated and creative as a drum machine from 1982. The only valid use for that would be to cure insomnia. It's in no way a shortcut to creativity, because there are no shortcuts. There are other acoustic piano patches that also are very good and can be used, but those are not in studio piano and those are not in Logic. If you want an acoustic piano as a lead instrument, sometimes a better choice is The Grandeur, which has harmonics almost like a female soprano voice. It just soars above, and cuts through the densest mix. It's well worth the hundred bucks. Sometimes I'll layer that into that combination I mentioned earlier of Steinway and Bosey. That's 1000 times better than studio piano could ever dream of being. There are eleven velocity layers. Not two. There are over 2,500 samples. When they recorded The Grandeur they blocked off traffic for blocks in London for weeks (which is why $100 seems like a bargain). I also have a patch from Korg called 'compressed piano' which has a nice tack piano sound to it. But studio piano? Meh.

I find that the more tracks I have, the more likely a mix is to clip, and yet the overall LUFS are pretty low. I'm so confused about why this happens or how to fix it.

Never cease to amaze me mi Hermano! Gracias 🙏🏼

Save yourself the hassle; buy Ableton Live or Maschine. You can set a scale and play without thinking.

Thank you very much, Jono! Great video! Until now I hadn't noticed the existence of the Studio Piano and Studio Bass... Thanks for your very clear presentation of the possibilities of the Studio Piano!

There's so many options out there. It's so useful when you point out the gems offered in Logic. Off I go to check out this instrument with a new perspective. Merci!!

Excellent 👏🏼

The only way your tips could be hotter is if you did them shirtless.🔥

It's all wonderful, but i can't click on Stem splitter. I don't know what to do.

It would be nice to have a piano plugin that can have a sustain built in that you could control.

Studio Piano and Studio Bass are some of my favorite additions to LP11, right after Stem Splitter and the improved MIDI routing. Really good sounding instruments. Vintage Upright being my fav piano from that selection :)

Awesome tip ☝🏼🧐 Amazing like always mi Amigo 👊🏼

Cheers, Jono! I completely missed the Studio Piano. Still dont think I've found a Piano library that fits.

Another great video, Jono. Thank you!

Thanks again Jono for pointing out things I overlook and present them like you do!

I hadn’t paid this any attention. This is great. Thank you.

great overview! thanks,

Nice work Jono - cheers mate!

It would be nice to have this in MainStage.

There is a kind of percussive element to the upright piano with the arp & warped space, sounds cosmic ! Oooooof indeed.... :). Thanks Jono.

I wish Logic had a good old fashioned upright piano. The kind of piano you used to see in peoples parlours back in the “old days “. They’re always slightly flaky, even a tad out of tune. But I’ve never found anything like it in Logic. They’re always emulations of big, expensive grands.

It never occurred to me to delve into Studio Piano in this way. Genius! 😮 Thank you 👍

Again, thanks for the information. I have experimented with the session players , but didn’t realize they are using new instruments. That, and internal midi routing and chord tracks have been drowned out by the “AI” noise. I also think the last update made Logic a lot more stable.

Wonderful! Can't wait to play around with it. Those chord progressions were wonderful, Jono Buchanan! Are they from a particular composition or did you do them just for the lesson?

Sounds great and lush.You play with real feel.

👍

Love this!!!!

Brilliant as ever and will incorporate this for my El Retsof productions . Great tutorial . I've just stumbled on a sort of self generating synth using the randomiser and using the pattern regions etc ( took some tweaking ). Logic's Midi Fx are great once you go out of the comfort zone and take the time . Thank you JB

Jono! This is glorious! Omg, this whole tutorial blew my mind. You are an excellent teacher. I have watched it at least 5 times trying to absorb everything. The final result is just jaw dropping. After about the second play through, I decided to follow your tutorial step-by-step and recreate it on my own. I have taken some liberties with it and made it my own by recording bass, guitar, and drums for it. I just want to know if I can publish it. I don't want to break any copyright laws and would love to have your blessing.

Amazing
