Logic Pro's Most SLEPT ON Instrument

[@dreamscuba]

Wow... I have been using Logic for years and bought many instrument plugins and never ever looked at Alchemy....this is just unreal. I just opened Alchemy and it is amazing!! Thank you so much!

[@victotronics]

I keep too many old emails. Found the receipt: bought Alchemy in 2009 for $250 from Camel Audio. That's more than the whole of modern Logic.

[@dreddiknight]

Same!

[@Morales-nt6vi]

Alchemy is one of those instruments that no matter how many third party plug ins one may have. Theres always something new to dig into. Logic Pro as a whole is dope. 👍

[@tunesbyakash]

so true..in fact because of alchemy i dont even open most of the 3rd party vsts i have

[@SEIDS_]

It’s so true!!!

[@notsure1135]

This was a 3rd party plug-in available on PC as well. Apple bought it out… I think they were called Camel Audio before they were acquired by Apple.

[@Morales-nt6vi]

@@notsure1135 Phat FX and Step FX are also full of cool tricks that work wonders. The phat fx has many tricks for bass. The step effect adds crazy effects and or ambience to your sounds. I do believe it was Camel Audio that Apple acquired. I'm a Pro Tools refugee Logic Pro kicks ass also easy on the wallet. 🤣 👍

[@Clasam09]

@@notsure1135 I bought it shortly before apple aquired them. Was so bummed. Fortunately I have logic pro now

[@dreddiknight]

Alchemy came out around the same time as Omnisphere, and was both loved and overlooked. I still love it sand I'm glad it's getting love in Logic!

[@GrandHorseMusic]

This is actually the best video I've ever seen about Alchemy, and I have seen a LOT of videos about Alchemy. Thank you so much! I'm going to have great fun with re-watching this and doing new things. 😀

[@Apuat]

This instrument helped me create a new theory of music.

[@robertseverinmusic4036]

It's a sonic gold mine! Love your work, Seids!

[@SimonMac]

I'm new to Logic. Thanks for this tip - can't wait to try it out!

[@macaius]

I'm sharing this with a friend who discovered what a keyboard controller with a midi cable and Alchemy are capable of. Big thanks!

[@DrummerMatt4253]

gentle sine bells has been my default alchemy preset for like 8 years lol even when i’m not planning on using that sound, sometimes it’s hard to take out once i get further into a project cuz it works so well for so many styles, and it’s pretty easy to quickly tweak.

[@808pacificstate]

Dope video. Love Alchemy. A processing chugger on your computer tho. 😮 Could you do a tutorial on Alchemy’s sampler? Yes, there are several out there already but I still can’t figure it out. Your style of teaching resonates with me. I’d bet lots of other users would agree with/me and benefit from your Alchemy Sampler video!!🙏

[@ayshasword]

Just discovered your channel and you are such an awesome teacher! Thank God for you! These tips are top tier !!! And yes please would love another in-depth video of all things Alchemy!🔥🔥🔥 Thanks Seids!

[@rolandtuska8074]

I been using Logic for the past 16 years, I love Alchemy, but this quick video gave me a lots of new ideas, thanks for sharing 🙂

[@ishbeck]

Awesome and powerful. And so is sculpture...though learning curve is high....

[@swapanbiswasmusic]

you are great teaching, thank you so much seids....from india...

[@SEIDS_]

Thank you for watching!!

[@ishbeck]

Changing Snapshots with keyboard is soooo cool

[@ColinPowell_AMultitudeofOne]

So much more than a list of great sounding presets! I have never done a deep dive into Alchemy as I hadn't realised how deep it was! Thank you.

[@chrisd5964]

Love your tutorial. Calm and informative with the enthusiasm of a frequent user. New ipad so just about to subscribe to Logic. Consider your existence validated. Thank you.

[@victoryinmotion5905]

you come with it consistently! much appreciated

[@gonesavage]

Omg the tip at 3:13!!!! I … never knew…! Thanks!

[@LB13A]

hello. Your channel is my fav now. keep doing great work. Greetings

[@gonesavage]

Like a few others have said, we have so many third parties but sometimes in a pinch I just race back to Alchemy and find what I need. Thanks Seids

[@vonbarfuss]

You made me trying it once more❤🎉you’re my teacher now:)!

[@michaelschulz7490]

That was a real fresh, simpatic and funny video. Very intersting aspects that I "didn´t know before". I didn't know about the large range of options and possibilities included. Great job! Go on like that!

[@dalehawkins7187]

Wow, this really makes me want to dig into alchemy! And your shirt is 🔥

[@danielel9191]

Yes I would love more Alchemy in a very slow and simple format with screen focused windows on what you are doing. Thanks again I love watching your videos on Logic Pro.

[@PaulA-ji7jh]

Hihi from London. discovered your channel recently and it’s a joy to get all the tips you’re giving out on logic. How on earth you were able to get so much logic info compared to people that have used it in decades ? really kudos to you🎉🎉 where do I get to hear your music production and some of the tracks you released?

[@Clasam09]

Alchemy has been a beast ever since Camel Audio days. I hope they do it justice and give it a nice facelift/update like Sample Alchemy. Would love to see some sound design and see your thought process

[@vallo1287]

YES! Finally some love for Alchemy 👏👏👏 I use it solely as an arpeggiator. I was looking for a Jupiter 8/ early 1980s thing (early Simple Minds, Duran Duran vibe). I’ve got a brilliant J-8 emulator - but this was better just from the presets. I knew I was only scratching the surface so now I have a bunch of new ideas from this video to check out. Thanks!

[@swanebrokendeep]

You’re the best! Now I am very more interested about alchemy. I bought your course about logic tips I can’t wait to learn more about my daw. Yeah a deep video again about alchemy will be great! Thanks a lot for sharing Seids! Swane from France.😉

[@crulag1]

I always use alchemy and love to play with the features . Super also in combination with the iPad. You can slide over the fx

[@Nickhannamusic]

super informative thank you !

[@alvaromascareno3521]

Great video! Very informative and fun to watch. I didn't know about the sampler functionality of Alchemy. And yes, it's both accessible and powerful. Thank you for sharing this (I immediately subscribed)

[@JusticeConstantine]

Great video Sabrina. I knew those synthesizers were available through the library section, but I didn't know how you could get deeper into personalizing the sounds. Thanks.

[@grooveduststudio]

I've bought too many plugins not really exploring LogicX own instruments - thanks for the video

[@daftstuff6406]

ok, so don't blush, but you're a naturally gifted teacher. thank you for sharing this with us and I for one would definitely love a more in depth review / tutorial on this amazing instrument.

[@dragnflyindustri]

I LOVE Alchemy! I discovered it about 12 months ago and it's soooooo good!

[@EytanKoch]

Great video! In-depth alchemy tutorial would be awesome!

[@maxreinsch]

Haha. Your positive and funny approach makes it a beautiful life/ Thank you

[@BCRuffin]

Thank you, I learned a lot.

[@frits-barth]

Nice video! I like your vocals! 😊

[@manuelmota3975]

Thanks I love Alchemy but I haven't taken advantage of even a fraction of it's potential. An in depth video series on Alchemy would be awesome! specially if you do it. I look forward to it.

[@jantuitman]

I am still pretty new to logic and have yet to discover alchemy, but this is a great starting point. I am hoping you are going to do in depth as well.

[@mikevirtualteacher]

Appreciate your videos! Thank you for all your work!

[@MrMallum]

I had to buy it twice! Camel Audio made it and then Apple bought them out and put it in to Logic. It's a brute for sure!!!!

[@steveweilhart2359]

I have used it many time to color my rock tracks - it's very intuitive - very musical

[@bobbygillaspy1058]

Wow! She sounds like she dialed in the sound of the intro to Howard Jones "Things Can Only Get Better" at 5:20..iim like where have I heard that!? Now, Seids, is like a kid in a candy store here and that totally helps me as I got lost in Alchemy a while back and... well, I got lost. Here, she showed me that we can go "through the bars!"( Gonzo from a Christmas story, the muppets) in the squares... that you can go in between the squares and make crazy new sounds! The advanced where she grabbed the flute and made the sample... again mind melt! Thanks Seids! When she drinks less coffee I can actually follow her haha!

[@halflearned2190]

Another comment: wow, finally a good alchemy intro! I've been using it stupidly for a year now and you just unlocked a lot of smart things for me!

[@askdad3450]

I owned alchemy before apple bought it, was and is a well organised library Huge depth of sound and lots of ability to manipulate❤

[@alfonsoagren414]

Yes please! More Alchemy!😊

[@Sam_Utah]

Word. Alchemly has been in Logic for a long, long time and it was always a great option. sub.

[@RoofLight00]

I have the original camel audio alchemy before it was incorporated into logic on a 2010 Mac Pro with logic 8 and it’s just as good as a hardware synth imo with the bonus you can load your own sounds into it. 👌

[@borisvillar]

Thank you I had no idea there was so much more under the hood in Alchemy

[@damion2226]

I wouldn't say that it's slept on. This used to be owned by Camel Audio and then Logic/Apple bought it. I used it a lot on my last album and in other works for hire. But still good that you're bringing attention to it! Love your videos!

[@AlexCharlesADC]

Girlfriend, you are the MAX! Please keep it up!👍

[@SEIDS_]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@StratsRUs]

I'd still love an updated Ultrabeat and Sculpture too, despite all the DMD, Step Sequencer etc.

[@Emily_M81]

Alchemy was my first VST plugin and I will never f'ing forgive Apple for making it Logic Pro-only. I am still salty about it LOL.

[@philkouly4717]

Fun Fact: Alchemy sounds as good as a 3rd party instrument because it was a 3rd party instrument. Apple liked it so much that they bought the company (Camel Audio). I almost bought it before it was acquired by Apple. ($250)

[@laszlocsikos189]

I just wanted to write the same. This was a third party instrument bought by apple.

[@mrufino1]

Unfortunately, when they did that, the iOS version stopped being available and if you reinstall on an old iPad, your IAP’s won’t restore. There wasn’t any communication about it for a while. It’s still great in Logic, but the transition could have been smoother.

[@kingofdjembe]

3rd party stuff don't necessary sound better. Alchemy is incredibly advanced, yes. But don't think that 3rd party instruments or effects sound better than simpler Logic instruments or effect just because they're 3rd party.

[@halflearned2190]

Big fan on Gentle Sine Bells here too!

[@jeremevr6]

This is pretty similar to a couple Native-Instruments products-but without the absolutely useless and weird onslaught of 1000’s of alien/zombie presets-which are absolutely useless… AND you don’t have to go to NI’s useless support forum JUST to get it to work.

[@jimrogers7425]

Question for you: Your intro/outro theme has guitar and which synth in it? I've been looking for that harmonic kind of ring in a patch for quite some time. Is it Alchemy? Thanks for your answer! Cheers!

[@Currorl95]

We need a deep tutorial on drum programming.

[@thomascruciani4251]

Yes, more on alchemy

[@vewilli]

I love Alchemy very much, too!

[@atlantaguitar9689]

I thought you were going to say Klopfgeist ha ha... Alchemy is a great instrument. Have no idea why it isn't discussed more in production circles.

[@IBoughtItMyself]

She’s a good singer!

[@kaitocks]

Thank you 😊❤

[@Astronaut_FX]

Been a fan of Alchemy since before Apple bought it from Camel Audio. Outstanding soft synth.

[@trislanderadventures]

This was great but the text was a bit fuzzy at 720p - I think most of your videos are higher-res than this.

[@NUdude]

More on Alchemy plz ;)

[@AlexiKaay]

Thats my Go2

[@SirMillz]

It's my favorite

[@JamesJohnson-zy5ql]

Yeah. Alchemy rules. Seems to find its way into all my productions.

[@jack_digital]

Then,,, you bounce down the audio form your beautiful life melody, reverse it, bounce it, then take your reversed audio back into alchemy but instead of the sampler, switch to granular. Then you set the grains to 1 so you can automate/modulate the start position and grain size then snap a little reverb and chorus on it and marvel at the glitched out madness that ensues add some gates or arpeggiation to go crazy then add a convolution reverb where you load the same sample back in but isolate one reversed note. From this point you only need to do the cha cha cha for the sound designer seance to be completed. Thank you for reading this cursed reply, you now have no life, enjoy.

[@pianosynthrelaxation]

I absolutely adore Alchemy! Perhaps I use it too much? :) I need to learn to use Sample Alchemy.

[@Narumasano]

Me using more Omnisphere and Absynth 5 while having barely discovered Alchemy yet!💀

[@eren3390]

always wanted absynth… sadly it’s discontinued :( how is absynth for you? i heard it’s very good for weird sounds especially when randomizing patches

[@Narumasano]

@@eren3390 I absolutely love it especially for creating new sounds with the mutation tool! I hope you will get your hands on it one day!

[@user5557]

Good video but why do experts always skip the simple basics? How did you even get to the alchemy pop up? Can you consider this in your next vid

[@arranger1977]

I love camel audio products. but it's terrible that the instrument plugin is only available in logic pro. I hate camel audio for that but I love the camel audio products.

[@DojoOfCool]

Thanks A video on FlexTime would be cool.

[@SEIDS_]

Good idea!!

[@loalrecords]

alchemy the secret weapon

[@tekis0]

It's been around forever. Logic pure chased it from the origin of manufacturer.

[@judddredd8617]

I don't think Alchemy is underrated just Logic users forget it's there. Check out David Thom Creations in-depth 2 part review of Alchemy

[@fischergreen4134]

Remember when I had this before they sold out to Apple. Made me rethink which led to buying more hardware and less software

[@datenarche]

10 years old and more o.O

[@stevepottz111]

If I was on logic before I bought pigments. I might’ve skipped pigments altogether

[@seanocean]

it’s just rated. Waves codex doesn’t do this but codex can’t do alchemy. There’s definitely a reason apple poached it from camel audio. Alchemy goes so damn deep tho.

[@momanace]

Underrated? Why?. It’s known for years and years as a great synth. I’d say it’s always been a highly rated instrument, even way before it was ever a part of logic. Maybe under utilized? That might be cause it has so many more features and potential than many other synths.

[@notsure1135]

People sometimes think because it comes with a DAW it is a little cheap or whatever.

[@CannedFunkMusic]

I seems they have took queues from Omnisphere.

[@cabijista1]

Alchemy is Logic’s flagship synth. How can the flagship synth be the most underrated synth?

[@GManWrites]

I would be interested to see some recommendations for 3rd party free plugins and how to install them in logic. Vital is a great free alternative to Serum.

[@BrianFortner]

I have a friendship crush on you

[@nanostudioperson]

Don’t really think Alchemy is particularly unknown

[@Producertips]

😀😀

[@SpacePop1974]

Good video , but logic is full of bugs .

[@rayascott]

You need a bigger microphone. Seriously.

[@teamcubendo]

Anyone using Logic is definitely not 'sleeping' on Alchemy. It is one of the few things for which to keep using Logic.

[@Sarabjeet_singh639]

1st yeaaaaa

[@SEIDS_]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@jamesjames77777]

Now Logic just has to improve reliability, phase locked audio when flex editing groups, stop changing sounds and/or resetting plugin parameters when loading a session and then it’ll be for grown ups…

[@wildskel6350]

An0ther fantastic p0st, y0u are the best.

[@JohnTussey]

Thank you!
