Guitar sounds in logic pro..from soft synths to plugins

hi gang just wondering if anyone is using soft syns for guitar tracks in logic and what they think of them...i have used the samples(ok), loops(not bad), virtual guitarist 2(a joke),real guitar (very impressive)....what do u think of them?...compared to a real guitarist playing for u...of course this is my opion.

For very basic guitar stuff, like power chords, some of the guitars that come on the Rhythm Jam Pack are incredibly convincing.
For an example, listen to the track "Holding Tight" on this link:

Not a real guitar on the recording (yet...rough demo).

  • Trying to get this "One" sound with Logic pro 8

    Hi everyone i spent like 2 hours last night trying to get this sound with Logic Pro 8 soft synths trying to find a sound exactly like or close to this sound: http://home.comcast.net/~tommykry/Weezer%20-%20Troublemaker.mp3
    The sound can be heard at 00:19 and through out the song, its like a low bass synth kind of sound that drifts down when its hit, like a portamento kind of thing. In live weezer videos the bass player is hitting a pad on a keyboard so i know its a key sound not a bass guitar slide. ive heard this sound in trance and techno songs as well. I have Sonar 8 and pro tools 8 as well and can look there if i have too, also have an Access viress Ti, But im trying to do this all in Logic. Like i said i played around for like more than 2 hours going through most of all the Logic synths, patch after patch trying to find something close i could tweak, so if anyone has more experience with The Soft synths in Logic Pro 8 and can steer me in the right direction i would be greatful.
    Thanks
    Tommy

    He could just be triggering a bass slide sample...
    It's some kind of bass sound that bends down, in a similar style to what a bass player might do. Whether it's a real bass or a synth is difficult to say (and probably doesn't matter a great deal), but in any case it's certainly compressed, and grunged up dirty with some amp sim or distortion...
    Try that route...

  • What guitar distortion do you guys recommend if I want to get a Jimmy Eat World sound in Logic Pro?

    I am looking for a nice Alternative Rock sound comparable to the likes of Jimmy Eat World, saosin, etc... Looking for this sound in Logic pro and just need help. Any answers?

    You are better off getting a dedicated gaming box for gaming than using a Mac for heavy gaming.
    Unless you go with a top of the line iMac with just about all of the optional components, Macs do not make great heavy gaming machines. Plus, a gaming box is sooo much cheaper than a Mac for gaming.
    For using Logic, I would just go for the 21 inch screen iMac and get it with the optional  full 16 GBs of RAM and optional i7 CPU and, if you can afford all of the options, get this iMac with the optional Fusion drive, too!
    The combination SSD and hard drive in the fusion drive will help make up for the slower 5400 RPM drives that they are putting into only the 21 inch screen models.
    With this configuration, this iMac would last you, at least, 5 years.

  • What's a good interface to record voice/guitar tracks in Logic Pro

    re the firmware update - there is talk that this should only be done if you are going to use USB - and also that it needs to be done via Windows.........I am confused re this?
    I don't know about that, I don't own a Phonic, but if you only have to do it for USB, well, then there's no problem and you don't have to do anything, so...
    Also when you say DAW (what does that stand for?
    Digital Audio Workstation; Logic, Cubase, Protools etc are all DAWs. You'll probably encounter this term once in a while...
    I just want to make sure and sorry if i sound silly but I should be able to use Phonic as my interface with Logic Pro without using Cubase?
    Yes.

  • Where can I find the serial number for LOGIC PRO from the AppStore

    Please help me:
    Where can I find the serial number for LOGIC PRO from the AppStore?
    I bought and downloaded the application, now it asks me for the serial number but I didn't not receive it or can find it.

    My understanding is that if it was purchased throught the App Store, then there is no requirement for a serial number. At which point does it ask you for the serial?

    Hi
    Try this in a new empty project:
    In the New Tracks box select a software instrument track, and un-check the Open Library box
    You will see a track plus the channel in the Mixer
    Click on the Input  "Inst" button, and you will see a menu like this
    Correctly installed 3rd party 64bit AU plugins will be in the AU Instruments sub-menu.

  • Has anybody downloaded logic pro from the app store and how did it work thanks

    has anybody downloaded logic pro from the app store and how did it work?
    thanks

    I've recently upgraded my stuff with a Mac Mini Server and downloaded Logic from the app store with absolutely no problems at all. I'm on 10.7.3 with an i7 processor and 4Gb memory (yeah, may as well put another 4 in as well, I know).
    Logic 9.1.6 is running very smoothly for me, but I think I'll go to 9.1.7 because there is a malfunction with time stretching regions in the Arrange window that the update's meant to fix.
    A lot of your experience with downloading the additional content, apart from Logic itself, will depend on the speed of your internet connection, but the software handling of that aspect seems quite good - best to just load one lot of stuff at a time and see how it works out.

    Hi ...
    Best way to get feedback form Logic Pro users is to post your question in that forum here.

  • Hi, ive been having trouble passing my logic sessions to another computer, we're both using a macbook pro 10.6.8 and logic pro 9 with the same plugins, the session opens in the other computer but all the synths reset to presets

    Hi, ive been having trouble passing my logic sessions to another computer, we're both using a macbook pro 10.6.8 and logic pro 9 with the same plugins (native instruments komplete 7), the session opens in the other computer but all the synths reset to presets, this didnt happen the first time I shared a session, but its been happening lately quite often

    Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
    The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
    10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
    Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

  • Is it possible to bounce 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1?

    Hi All,
    Is it possible to create a song and bounce it in 5.1 Surround sound with Logic Pro 7.1.1 without extra software and hardware?
    Thanks in advance!

    This will let you make a DVD-Audio disc in Mac. It's free. It is command line only, and not for non-savy computer users.
    There are other commerical programs out there that make DVD-Audio discs. Search google for DVD-Audio OS X. These programs cost $100+

  • How to transfer logic pro from home mac to mac laptop?

    does not work with migration assistant

    Hi
    If you purchsed Logic Pro from the Appstore, simply download it again. It will be listed under the 'Purchases' button in the AppStore application
    If you have the original 'Studio' installer dvd's, re-install from those, and download the necessary software updates

  • Logic Pro from app store with Logic Express installed

    Hi there!
    Does anybody know what happens if I install Logic Pro from the Mac App Store while Logic Express is already installed? Will this drag me derectly into dependency **** or can the two coexist?
    Because I really wouldn't want to wreck my working Logic Express Setup by installing Logic Pro...
    Cheers
    Volker

    Hi
    It should work fine, with the exception that opening projects via the Finder may open Express rather than Pro (easily fixed).

  • How to get a good vocal sound with Logic Pro 9

    I apologize for the ignorance of this question, but I am really looking to figure out a way to get my vocals to sound the way I would like them to sound, but I'm not really sure where to start.
    I started out using Garageband years ago, and really like the vocal setting of "Live Performance" when I went to real instrument/vocal.  It had a sound that I liked, and I didn't have to go to a lot work to achieve it.  When I went to Logic Pro 9 a while back I saw that they had the Garageband setting of Live Performance, but it really didn't sound the same, so I ended up starting songs in Garageband, and then importing them into Logic Pro.
    I would really like to move on and be able to set up vocals from scratch, and put in different inserts and play around with different sounds to experiment with for vocals.  Does anyone have any advice on learning inserts to use, and perhaps a tutorial video they might suggest that could help educate me on this? 
    I don't even know if you should start with Compressor, then Chan EQ.  Perhaps someone might be able to steer me in the right direction.  Thanks so much.

    Klunde, you are missing out the most vital parts in your post. A vocal chain for recording is:
    You (your voice) - Microphone - Mic Pre - (perhaps hardware compressor, perhaps not) - (perhaps hardware eq, perhaps not) - then finally what you are recording into.
    The source is the single biggest influence on what you need to do in the mix regardless of what you are recording into. In our case here, it happens to be Logic. My own vocal chain changes depending on what i am aiming to achieve and this carries through to the mix. On one song I may use a blue face 1176 plugin if required and on another a CL1B etc. Both sound great but both sound different and there are a myriad of ways to use each one. The same goes for EQ's and reverbs. But what you need for all of this is a great source. Get this right and your mixes and decisions will be a lot easier and your desired results faster to achieve.
    So what is your source for your vocals?
    After this it is all down to taste. For example, a compressor going into an eq sounds different from an eq going into a compressor. Neither one is right or wrong. Experience and experimentation will tell you which you want to use for a particular song. Top mixer Chris Lord-Alge uses lots of compression on everything. Top mixer Bruce Swedien is notorious for using virtually none. Both consistently mix great records and both have spent a life time honing their art and skill set. Experiment but get your recording chain right which means choosing the right kit for your vocal and gain staging everything properly.

  • Problem with Logic Pro and Soft eLicenser on Mountain Lion?

    Hi!
    I have a bunch of Arturia synths, which requires the Soft eLicenser to work. This has always worked great with Lion, never any problems with eLicenser (never had to open it etc.)
    Now - I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and tested my synths to make sure everything was OK, experienced a bunch of problems, and did a full recovery to clean Mountain Lion.
    After installing the Arturia synths, and adding my licenses, I installed Logic. Everything worked fine!
    BUT!
    When I closed an Arturia synth within Logic, or closed Logic after running a project with one of these synths, I couldn't reopen any of these synths within Logic afterwards - In fact, I couldn't open the stand-alones either! And when I tried to open the eLicenser Control Center, it would just say "Reading eLicensers" forever. After a reboot, everything is OK.
    I can open and close eLicenser Control Center and standalone synths as many times as I want, as long as I don't open Logic, and then Arturia synths as an AU in Logic.
    I found a workaround: Open the eLicenser Control Center, and let in run in the background (cmd+H), and then open Logic. Then I could open Arturia synths and close them, close Logic and reopen etc. without any problems at all. NO PROBLEMS.
    Until I close the eLicenser Control Center, then I have to reboot to be able to start it again.
    I hope you understand what I mean here. It's a bit hard to explain.
    In short terms: Logic makes Soft eLicenser crash when a eLicenser synth has been opened as an AU.
    The same problem is when scanning the AU with AU manager. eLicenser window should be open before scanning.
    Does ANYBODY have the same problems? Can anyone who has these applications test it out?

    So it definitely seems to be a issue with Logic.
    I can't force this error in 10.7.X no matter how hard I try, but in 10.8.2 it's definitely Logic messing things up.
    Could it be auvaltool which has a bug? Or is that only run with AU manager on validation?
    Hopefully this discussion can get some attention, and maybe it could be corrected. I guess a lot of Logic Pro users also has eLicenser Control Center for validation of their products.

    Hi!
    I need some help with a problem I have in Logic Pro 8.
    When I have arrange window open, suddley strange high tones starts to make noise in my headphones. I don't know where these sounds comes from or why, but I need some help to get them away. Should I just try to contact Apple?
    Martin

    Hi Martin
    Welcome to the forum. Give everyone here some more info about your set up otherwise it may be difficult to figure out what is wrong.
    Which mac?
    Which OS?
    any hardware devices?
    if you are listening through headphones using the built in audio from the mac, you may be hearing fan noise or a hard drive spin noise.
