Given that my original project to transcribe Tchaik V
fell through for the moment, I’m taking this time to create short, original
compositions through Logic Pro X using a combination of sound libraries from
Kontakt 5, Logic, and Mainstage. This first tune could be used for a variety of
different applications. I'm using a mixture of midi signals and audio recordings. The creative composition process I used for this tune is as
follows:
- Wrote out melody and countermelody in Finale
- Exported midi, imported into Logic
- Played with a few different instrumentations. Concluded that mallet percussion, piano, and guitar are the easiest sounds to sample and sound good without too much manipulation.
- With my keyboard, I recorded the bass part and pad synth.
- Added some percussion loops and fills
- Automated dynamics and tempo changes
- Manually tweaked certain notes’ velocities to add some contrast in articulation with accents.
- Final mastering adjustments (little reverb, EQ adjustments, level adjustments).
