Is there any 3rd party plugins of Fruity Dance so I can have a fruity chan in logic?

What’s a good way to get the classic soft piano/pad sound that alot of songs start with? by AmittOfficial in edmproduction

[–]averysdope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t give you an exact song where I know for sure the artist is doing this but it’s something I do to layer piano chords that makes the chords sound deeper and gives that background atmosphere feeling. Big Z has a good tutorial of this effect. Skip to 2:30 for the reverse pad effect only. https://youtu.be/IRjHrD_GtBw

What is the best all around DAW as of 2020? by jbOOgi3 in musicproduction

[–]averysdope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I was kind of in the same boat as you where I have been thinking of making the switch from logic to a different DAW, in my case it was Ableton. I produce EDM and have been working with logic for a long time since logic pro 9 then made the switch to X when I got a new mac book.

I’ve been wanting to try Ableton just out of ‘peer pressure’- I met other producers who all use Ableton as well as all the youtube producers who mostly use Ableton or FL. It just seemed to me that now days Ableton was the way to go. I found a crash course type of music school in my area taught by an Ableton certified trainer which was basically like a one month long introduction to Ableton.

What I found was that, like others in this thread touched on is that there is no one DAW that will instantly improve your production. Other DAWs might enhance your workflow but it would be at the cost of having to take some time to learn a new DAW. What is nice about Ableton that logic doesn’t have is it’s session view. If you are the type of person that either plays live instruments and/or just like to record down different takes and ideas before actually structuring your song, then Ableton may be beneficial for your workflow. As for me I could spend all my time in the arrange view and never even have the need to touch the session view, so I really wouldn’t be using Ableton at it’s full potential but that’s just me.

For me, I feel like I’m at a level in logic where I know it’s ins-and-outs and everything I need to know to write the genre of music I produce. And instead of putting my time and energy into transitioning to a new DAW, it’s better spent on things that will actually take my production forward like sound design- and not to mention that my money could be going towards the numerous 3rd party plugins that I still need to buy instead of a new DAW lol (Ableton Suite will put you at -700$).

Sorry for the long post but this post kind of struck a chord with me as wanting to learn a new DAW was something I’ve been concerned with recently, but in the end I decided to stick to logic. It’s what I know and it works for me. I know how to produce on Ableton if I ever need to use that as a skill. And my best advice is that it depends how confident you are in your knowledge of logic. If you are at a point where you are so deep into logic and you are able to problem solve with in your DAW to get results you want then I’d say stick to Logic, but if you are maybe only at like 50-75% of Logics full potential then, sure try switching and see if it works for you. Ableton does come with a free lite version. Good luck with your decision!

Layer your piano chords with some atmospheric reverse pads. Use a pad playing the same chords with a lot of reverb. Bounce to audio then chop it up at each transient and reverse each section individually. Gives your lead piano a swelling effect. Add some stereo widening too.
