Good morning
@CaliaMoko, Vicki
. Create a new track
. Select Software Instrument
. “ClassicElectric Piano” appears in Logic, by default
. Select “Kontact”
. Choose desired instrument
. Play a chord sequence/fingerpick/riff, depending on
what you wish to include in your track
. Your take will appear as a horizontal line
. Play/record a number of bars
. Quantize your take
. Create a loop for playback purposes
. If you’ve recorded for example, four bars, then loop
for six
. Your take will continue playing beyond the fourth
bar into the fifth
. Click on the automation button. In logic, it is an
icon displaying a thin line in the shape of a
staircase, with two fixed points bullet points along
along the line
. hover your mouse pointer over the recorded track
and click. A horizontal yellow line should appear.
(It’s yellow in logic) The default value will be +0.0
D.B
. Let’s say your recording begins at bar 2 and ends
at the beginning of bar 6
. If you want the track to fade from a given point to
the end of the recording e.g bar 5 to 6, click on
the track at grid 5 (the line will turn white and a
bullet point will appear on your recording.) Place a
second point at bar 6. The line between the two
points is now white. Click on the second point and
drag it downwards to -0.0. The track will then fade
gradually until it is no longer audible upon play-
back thus leaving silence from the beginning of bar
6. If you want an abrupt ending, drag the first
bullet point to the beginning of Bar 6. You should
now have three points: at 5 and 6, both reading
+0.0dB and a third at 6 reading -0.0 dB. This
results in the audio stopping at bar 6
. Finally, you can automate your recording to be
louder by creating and moving horizontal points
anywhere along the horizontal automation line
I hope this helps.
