Studio Production Techniques - In the Box or In the Desk?
Read more . . . →I've been doing a lot of research into audio production lately. I have been a subscriber to Future Music magazine for about a year, and a reader for much longer. They often go into very big studios with the biggest names in electronic music and I'm always very interested in what gear the stars are using. While most of this equipment is out of my price range seeing this expensive gear in operation is certainly interesting. Many producers mix in the box, this definitely has some advantages. When I use Logic 9 I am able to pick up and sit...

Read more . . . →Welcome to coldplaysucks.com for more Apple Logic tutorials check out: http://www.coldplaysucks.com/tutorials/logic-tutorials/ It has been several weeks since i've posted a tutorial here, but I swear; I have a good excuse! I've been working on a number of tracks and also getting ready to start another semester at Carleton University. But now on to the audio tutorial. I noticed one thing that many people are searching for is a way to simply do a "fade in" or "fade out" on their audio in Logic.

Little Boots - Earthquake Remix: breakdown and some issues
Read more . . . →Last fall the British pop singer known as Little Boots held a remix competition for her song "Earthquake." I was very excited to jump into this project for practice but I immediately ran into some problems. You can grab the Earthquake stems here. My first problem stemmed (pardon the pun) from the choice of files that were provided. Unfortunately the vocals arrived as one giant stem reducing the possibilities to remix the incredible harmonies within the vocal track. I tried to work around this limitation by using Melodyne, the vocal tuning software. This would have allowed me to make different...

How to use ReWire to record from Ableton Live into Logic Pro
Read more . . . →By Alex Massaad I just finished making a tutorial video that teaches how to use Ableton Live and its plugins as an instrument within Apple's Logic Pro 9.

Anatomy of a Remix - Feel It by Tiesto feat Three Six Mafia
Read more . . . →Here is a quick screen capture of where I'm at so far in this remix. The first stage involved setting up all my samples in time. The vocal was really tricky on this one, and took a lot of playing around with to get it timed properly but perhaps you won't have trouble with it. Next I was trying to replace the first synth which, as it turns out, is very complex. There are many effects on Tiesto's final version. The files in the remix pack already have been processed with reverb, delays and (too much) side-chain compression by Tiesto...
