HOUSE MUSIC is so EASY to make! | Music Production in Logic Pro X

[@busywl69]

Music in general today is so easy to make now, especially with chord, guitar and bass generator. They even have piano virtuosos in plugins now. Crazy times! Someone would have bumped this one in the 90s for sure

[@danieljohnson2662]

Making house music today is easier with the tools we have available today, fer-sure. 80's techno only had synths and the 303, people who figured this out were brilliant beyond words and created a new music genre and a new culture around it . Check out Chip-E's stuff - he created the first house music track - ever!

This beat speaks man!!! Amazing job and so straightforward! Earned another sub and hope to see more content from you soon! 🤩

[@ExploredPerpsective]

This track is fire man!

[@Brummyonthecoast]

You whipped that one up very nicely sir 🎉

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Coming to this 2 years late, but I have to commend you on making something that really does sound authentic to what we were listening to back in the late 80s. If this had been on one of the house compilation CDs I bought, or if I heard it playing at The Roxy or Limelight, we would have been dancing. Quite impressive to arrive at this result without even doing mixing or mastering. Nice. I have to say, though, that the reason why it might be “easy” is because the instruments we/they used back in that era were ‘simple.’ And simplicity/repetition is what made those songs memorable and danceable. But, the standout tracks of the era had something more-something different, weird maybe-something not ‘cookie cutter.’ The undefinable. That’s where the ‘art’ lies.

[@ThaREC]

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed! I totally agree with your point about the instruments, and also... yeah, fair enough, I kind of just threw this together and wasn't really going for something different. I just thought the title of the video would look good on youtube!

[@chrisnonlinear]

dope tutorial! i wanted to know if possible what were you settings for hollow bass? im trying to kill the decay time and have be as abrupt as yours

[@ThaREC]

I've had a look at my settings on the hollow bass and it's just the stock sound that comes from the ES2. I think I managed to get such an abrupt sound by really paying attention to how long my notes lasted within the piano roll and making sure that none of them overlapped. If you still want it to sound more abrupt and snappy, try playing with the release setting (not so much with the decay), a shorter time on that will make the note turn off quicker once you release the key.

[@irisecheverria9587]

Great video here! And great advises. Please, what kind of chords did you use for the song on chord trigger? What preset? Thanks a lot

[@ThaREC]

Thanks for checking it out man! The preset I use for the piano was just the normal piano with ‘scan vibrato’ on. For the chords, I always use the ‘minor 7 9’ setting… I think I’ve used that in most of my videos💯

[@brandnaqua]

[@DanKonE03]

Hey chief, what was the plugin that you used for the vocals in this video? I have a couple of tracks in the works that I could put that to use in

[@ThaREC]

The main one I used to chop up and play the vocals is called ‘quick sampler’ and is a stock plugin with logic pro

[@lavinchi6709]

Super🥂

[@CherryMiller-i9q]

When you load up the project do you load up software instrument, audio, drummer, or guitar etc

[@ThaREC]

software instrument most of the time. I use audio tracks for recording things from my mic or when i record in scratches from my turntable. I don't think i've ever actually used the drummer or guitar channels.

[@samuelsdgonspotify]

Ive got those exact speakers for my set up bro. And the same Linn amp, what are the chances

[@ThaREC]

they're good speakers aren't they!

[@harveypuffett5475]

[@johnny7727]

Great video man. Do you remember what BPM and time signature you used?

[@ThaREC]

4/4 (I don’t think I’ve ever made anything that isn’t) and bpm is 127 👍🏻

[@samsilver9680]

what is the name of the keyboard you are using? also do you have any suggestions for useful equipment for a beginner house producer?

[@ThaREC]

My keyboard is an Alesis V25, as for suggestions for equipment there’s nothing that really stands out but a keyboard, maybe a mic and definitely a good pair of headphones are a good start

[@lucassytsema3816]

Hi! I have a question, where did you get those kicks and hihats etc? My logic pro library doesn't have those right? Is it a drum kit? Then where can I find it? Byeeee

[@ThaREC]

Most of the drum samples I use are from separate kits, can’t remember exactly where I got them from but your bound to find some decent ones by searching ‘free house drum kit’ which is what I do most of the time

[@suneilgoel3144]

Can someone explain how he set up the tracks for the drums? Like did he import those sounds? Is he using a sampler for them? (I’m new to this obv)

[@ThaREC]

He will explain himself! These days its incredibly easy; when you create a new track select 'software instrument' and on the drop down menu where you can select the synthesizers choose the one called 'quick sampler'. Once it creates the track click on the blue box on the left side of your screen where it will now say 'Q-Sampler' and once it opens you'll see a massive blank space above all of the controls for it. This is where you can then drag and drop an audio file from your computer into this box. It might ask if you want 'simple' or 'optimized'... for for simple. Now you have the sample tunes to the note C1 so if you have a keyboard find that and it'll play the sound, or just find it on the piano roll and then you can paint in what you want your drum pattern to be. Hope that helps, if you need I can do a quick video on it and thanks for watching!

[@suneilgoel3144]

@@ThaRECyou are the man. thank you so much for the detailed response i really appreciate it

[@vinyljunkie07]

Yea nah, you're missing the whole point. All these types of "urban" music are technically piss easy to make but it goes beyond that. That's like saying making hip hop is just sampling the Skull Snaps break, putting a melodic jazz sample on top and looping it. Also no one used sidechain compression on that early stuff if you're trying to recreate that sound.

New to this, how did you drag the kick notes at 1:20?

Select the brush tool when you’re on the piano roll and select your note length (I used 1/4 notes for this), then click and hold down the mouse then just drag it along the screen to where you want your kicks to end.

Any suggestion for compressors and how and where to use them?

[@ThaREC]

Most samples from drum kits and packs these days are pretty well processed, I’ve definitely made beats before where I haven’t used any compressors. Definitely if you have some live vocals or some samples from older songs then I would compress them just a bit to make them sound more uniform

[@EnduroRJ]

@@ThaREC well, I don’t know how to do it. I saw videos applying a compression in the master. Other videos only in some channel. Before mastering the song, do you simply adjust the volumes or you insert compression or limiters?

[@ThaREC]

@@EnduroRJ A compressor controls the dynamics of the track. If some parts of the track ‘jump out’ too much and overpower other elements then a compressor can be set to reduce how much that happens. On most compressors it will show a graph/meter indicating how much the sound is being reduced by; I recommend if you’re not too sure on how to use the compressors then play around with the ‘threshold’ and ‘ratio’ knobs until you find a reduction that you think aids the track. I’ll try to recommend or even make a video on how to do this.

hi, this turotial is really bad tbh. You don't explain where you got any of the sounds from. You use MIDI effects without showing us how you used them. The only reason it seems easy to make is because you've cut out like 50% of the music making process.
