Here’s a little technique of mine should any of u do lots of softsynth native to logic type work/programming. I find this is cool and it saves me time. Iss'nt THAT what we need? It seems that all of garage band synthy tone generators are all based on one instrument native to Logic: The ES2). Let's say I’m scoring a scene that needs a particular synth sound for it. I start by instantiating a garage band instrument first. I’ll call up a garage band synth that may have a sound in particular that I’m thinking about for the scene. It just has to CLOSELY approximate the sound I was thinking of. Now that I have that instrument up I start tweaking it to get a sound close to what I am thinking of in my head. (maybe it’s a pad or a sound that has more of an attack at the beginning…) When I’ m close to the sound I want I go back to the channel strip/instrument selection area and select an ES2. You will see a very cool thing happen. The ES2 takes on like a mirror all of the garage band instrument settings! Now I can go in and fine tune that sound I am after! Fun stuff. This way your not overwhelmed with all the settings that the ES2 would have to get your basic sound BUT once the es2 IS called up you have IT'S power at YOUR command! -Terry Michael Huud www.Music4TheMovies.com ----------------------------------------------------------------- LUG Group Buy for Serato's Pitch n' Time LE until June 14th!
