Re:The Killers sound?
Friday, January 08 2010 @ 06:36 AM CST

hey i have installed the logic demo content and the song "Spaceman" by the Killers is included. So what they use on the vocal track is nothing big. I can tell you the plug-in chain:

1 Channel EQ: A slight dip at 2450Hz (Gain: 3,5dB, Q: 2,50)

2 Compressor: Takes away about 3-4dB of dynamics (Type: Platinum, Ratio: 2.1:1, Attack: 19.0ms, Release: 21.0ms, Knee: 0.7, Mode: Peak)

3 Echo (Time: 1/8, Repeat: 18%, Color: -1, Dry: 100%, Wet: 10%)

4 Space Designer: they used their own Impulse Response called Room Vocals (an alternative would be any of the Drum Booths...just try it | Length: 0.03s)

5 Echo (Time: 1/16, Repeat: 0%, Color: -32, Dry: 100%, Wet: 6%)

6 Tape Delay: is automated, most of the time at zero, used in the chorus and in the 3rd verse at about 13% wet (Feedback: 30%, Sync: yes, Groove: 50%, Time: 1/4, Low Cut: 20Hz, High Cut: 20kHz, Smooth: 40ms, LFO rate: 0.20Hz, LFO depth: not used, Flutter: not used, Dry Output: 100%, Wet Output: automated)

I hope that it helped.

cheers, Luke

i didn't install it, but there is a killers song that comes as part of the demo content with Logic 9. all of the effects are with native logic plug-ins. maybe someone here can look at the file for you.



Seriously?!! Wow.. yeah, if anyone here installed this content please let me know!!



Hello Marcus - I have that file, if you send me your email address I will be happy to send it to you.

I assume that you have Logic Studio though otherwise it won't be much use to you.




Must try harder

Thanks you Luke! I tried this plug-in chain, and I'm starting to understand the sound now. This helped a ton.
