Description
Something of a throw-away tune while I develop my Logic chops.
Confession time. I just got Logic this December past and I'm still learning. Part of that learning is admittedly frustrating. I wanted to play with an arpeggiator. After way too much time reading, surfing and getting cranky about it, I figured it out. Sort of (ended up with global arp that was active on everything). More playing required. As an aside, I'm coming to understand why Live is so popular (in Live you just drag an arp or arp preset into your instrument chain). If somebody wants to step up and tell me how easy it is, I'm all ears.
As a general rule, when I'm learning a new (new for me, that is) feature of my DAW I try to make a (semi) complete tune. So after playing some chords into the arp and getting a great 80s sound I set about finding some drum loops and other accents. Then added some more chords (with a pad sound).
I wanted some guitar as well, and I'll probably have to play that myself. In the meantime, however, I found some decent one note loops through them in and found that they didn't track the chords right (hardly surprising). I started looking at how to transpose these loops and that's when I got into trouble. In Live, this is silly easy. In Logic, I don't know. I enabled the chord track, had it analyze a couple of things (mistake right here); re-drop the guitar loop which was no being transposed sort of properly but a bit too much. So I started editing the chord track. That sucked big cause now the entire piece was shifting around (the chord track is global). Sigh. In the end, in the interest of getting sleep, I nuke all that and took out all the guitar bits but one... Much learning still to do.
So, apologies for the rant/whining. Hope you enjoy the tune.
