As I am turning into a Bass export factory from Logic Pro X to feed my hungry
Beatbuddy is there any Best Working Practices (BWP) to use as a template.
Logic Pro X
=====================================================================
1 Use the Arrangement in GLOBAL tracks to map out song sections, often 8 bar blocks:
Intro, Verse, Lift, Pre Chorus, Chorus, Bridge, Instrl, Outro
-
Create a a new Drummer track
-
Select a style of drummer e.g. Darcy for pop, Kyle for Rock
Is it better to just use one drummer for BWP ? -
Set up an 8 bar loop, then in Drum Editor use the X/Y pad to get nearest grove,
Follow rhythm Check box, Check so drum follows Bass
Preview styles , -
Create a BASS midi track, select Play Midi keyboard to trigger Bass (select Picked)
Then when groove is right, record Bass part.
Create a midi drum track , select Drum Kit, So Cal
-
Then copy Drummer track intoMidi Drum track, converts to editable midi track
remove any drum sounds with Foot on them e.g. Hi hat Foot Closed , also any open HiHats -
Add a Midi instrument track
Select Patch category: BASS
Select Patch : Picked BASS -
Record Bass Part
-
Edit Bass midi in piano roll editor, select All notes, Quantise by default to 16ths
-
Bass track push up Octave or two to keep well clear of Drums
(Apply great tips Persist, Beat Buddy Form advises) for Export as Midi file -
Then select both midi Drum and Bass tracks using Apple Cmd + J to join
-
Select this merge track (Bass has joined into Drums) and export as a midi file.
=================================================
BeatBuddy Manager
================================================= -
Select Songs, select a set list folder
-
Create a new spong
-
Select a drum set: currently use Rock with Bass
(for playing live want a balanced consistent sound so is it BWP to stick to
One Drum set with a Bass ?
Also how can the Bass sound be balanced up so it blends with the drums ?
4 Then import the exported Midi File.
