    Lesson 1 – Sequencing 101 – The Basics

    In this tutorial, we are looking at creating a remix of the track ‘Shape of you’ by Ed Sheeran. We will cover the basics of sequencing and you will get to know your way around Logic X. The remix should be in an Urban style at 96 bpm

    This lesson will cover,

    Sequencing MIDI Drums

    Step 1 – Introduction. Choose the style and tempo
    Step 2 – Choose the Ultrabeat. Insert the Ultrabeat plugin into a new channel strip
    Step 3 – Using the browser. Keep an eye of the small triangle next to the channel strip – this signifies what the library browser will be searching
    Step 4 – Inputting the MIDI. Try entering the notes in real time. Don’t worry too much about getting the pattern exactly right.
    Step 5 – Quantising the MIDI. Quantise the pattern to 1/16th.
    Step 6 – Copying the MIDI notes. Use the Option key to move and copy individual notes
    Step 7 – Changing the velocity. Use the MIDI transform function to ‘Fix velocity’
    Step 8 – Changing the note length. Use the MIDI transform function to ‘Fix note length’
    Step 9 – Editing the MIDI Notes. Use your ears to create an interesting basic drum pattern.
    Step 10 – Building the drum groove. Create some new tracks with new drum sounds. Try the EXS24 sampler and add some TR-808 percussion. Try adding some more sound with different grooves and timbres
    Step 11 – Using Swing Quantise. Swing quantise is used to make the drum groove start to feel funkier and dance-like. Try the 1/16th Swing D or C.
    Step 12 – Adding more drum elements. Add an extra low kick drum using the Ultrabeat.
    Step 13 – Making a drum variation using the piano roll. Use Step-time to input a 16th Hi-hat pattern.

    Questions

     

    Why is quantising the MIDI notes a good idea?

    It corrects any timing mistakes that there may be.

    What key do you use to copy objects and notes in Logic X?

    The Option Key.

    What is MIDI velocity?

    Velocity is how hard the keyboard is struck. It has a value of 0-127. It effects how loud the note played is.

    What two functions are used to control the velocity and note length is this example?

    MIDI transform, fixed note length and fixed velocity

    What does swing quantise do?

    It adds a swing groove to the drum beat. This can help the beat sound less mechanical.
