Join Evan Sutton for an in-depth discussion in this video Template examples in Logic, part of A Prolific Music Producer's Workflow for Finishing Tracks.
- So I wanted to show you an example of…a finished Production Template in Logic,…and how to get it saved in the right place.…Now, we have a few things that I've talked about.…For example, I have my Drums, and I have…the Drums already set up as a multi-instrument.…They aren't split out, but maybe I want to do that.…I also have a separate Percussion Kit…that I find really handy.…Then, I also have, as you can hear,…some reverb ready to go.…It's a Reverb that I'm particularly fond of.…
And then, also, i've got some Synths.…So I"ve got some Bass.…I've got some Synth Strings.…And these aren't necessarily like life-changing,…career-making patches, although they're pretty cool.…But they are things that I found…work really well as generic sounds to write with,…just to get going with.…Whether you're coming in with something…that is a pre-formed idea that you've just got to get down,…it's pretty likely that you'll be able to find something…among the things I've chosen,…between the Synths and the Rhodes.…
It's pretty likely that you'll be able to find something…
