The Case Of The Missing Plate!

Blind or not, we all misplace things from time to time, but when you’re blind, it may at times take a little longer to find it. One morning while making a bagel and chatting with a fellow music producer, I misplaced the little plate I intended to put the bagel on when it popped out of the toaster. As I started searching my counters for said missing plate, not knowing about the aforementioned bagel, they were wondering how I could have misplaced “plate” … because naturally a plate reverb is where their mind went. And that’s how this audio story was born.
And of course since it was a little plate I misplaced, it was only appropriate to use @soundtoys Little Plate to assist in the telling of this story!

How TO Make Loops Your Own, Chopping Samples And More Part 1 For Blind Logic Pro Users Via VoiceOver

This is a series on how you can use nothing but Logic and what’s included in it to create beats and music. While you can certainly use these concepts with 3rd party loops and software instruments, I demonstrate them with only included sounds and loops.
This requires some understanding of basic concepts and fundamentals, such as selecting and splitting regions It would also be beneficial to turn on chase and turn off playback pre-roll. This along with splitting and selecting regions is all covered in the getting started with Logic course you receive for free when you join the LogicBand mailing list.
Familiarity with the Piano Roll and or the Event List would be helpful as Well.
The Loop Browser is also used in this tutorial, so it may be worth it to check out that tutorial as well if you have never used it before.
I also use the Virtual Typing Keyboard (aka the Musical Typing Keyboard) to play the Software Instruments in this project, but if you have a MIDI Keyboard hooked up you could use that instead or in addition to, the choice is yours.
Also you may want to be familiar with some basics of the Sampler
As I am talking through a lot of what I am doing. This may seem like a long process, but I assure you it’s not as long or as daunting as it may seem once you get used to it and develop the muscle memory. So if it seems overwhelming now, just take it in small steps. As I am using stuff from the Loop Browser, you can pull up the same loops and play along at home. So work with each section until you’ve got it down.
While the Loop Browser is used here, you can do the same with 3rd party loops as well, and in those rare cases where the loops don’t come with their tempo info, you can follow the Adjust Tempo Using Region Length And Locators tutorial to get the loop’s tempo.
