The BEST Way to do Drums on Logic PRO X (Ultimate Ultrabeat Tutorial)

[@dstuds5389]

HOW TO UNLOAD SAMPLES (WORKING 2022) - go to Logic Pro X in the left-hand corner of the screen - go down to sound library - select "Open Sound Library Manager" - go to "Drum Kits" - check the box and press install - once it installs, reboot Logic Pro X - open ultrabeat - click the dropdown menu next to the power button on the top left-hand corner of ultrabeat - go down to "Drum Kits" - find the drum kit called "Drag and Drop Samples" - go back under the dropdown menu next to the large power button on the top left-hand corner of the ultrabeat tab - select "Save As Default" there you go, you will always be able to go directly to a drag-and-drop sample preset!!! hope this helped

[@xenovers7988]

Thank you !!!!!!!!

[@ae-bx2rj]

For some reason after downloading the the drum sound library it didn't pop up in the ultra beat menu in the top left. Could you help?

[@dstuds5389]

ae yes, ofc, can you tell me which step exactly you are on and which step you cannot do?

[@ae-bx2rj]

@@dstuds5389 I have done all the steps up to the go down to drum kits because there aren"t any drum kits there.

[@dstuds5389]

ae ok so what I think happened is you closed out of the software before the completion of download of the drum kits from the manager. Can you go to the previous step and attempt to do it again? Also tell me if you closed the software after the completed download of drum kits.

[@0ne0f0neMusic]

Not a new technique but spreading the awareness is key. Also the ultrabeat plug-in has a preset kit with no sounds loaded called "drag and drop samples" so save that one as your default

[@themanlyacademy]

Great call! Thanks!

[@Usedpaperbag]

I came here to say this, its way easier to just select the drag and drop preset, but great video!!! I have been using ultrabeat for a minute now and even I learned something!

Yea he explains and teachers extremely well not everyone is a teacher and so many try to be and all they're doing is confusing the masses

[@mattiastofte7457]

pro tip: use the drum kit named "drag and drop samples" to actually clear all the layers and make that your default.

[@CJBeatzProductions]

I was like, why he doing this the hard way??

[@AngelGarcia-zr8nt]

Can u pitch your sounds the same way as he does using this method???

[@kingofdjembe]

@@AngelGarcia-zr8nt Yes you can.

[@peejones9035]

Or you can just initialize patch. And that will clear everything

[@samryder5276]

you are a hero

[@AndresBaraya]

appreciate you being detailed about everything your doing, the little nuances like "Command J" make tutorials 10x's better

[@KurtkoBein266]

Another one useful thing about ultrabeat is multi-output mode. You can create ultrabeat once, assign samples to different sub groups and then create tracks for each of them. It will save your CPU resources

[@peterbondy]

bulat akipov thanks for this tip, I’d never thought of doing that.

[@meiji..]

but then you can't pitch the samples on piano roll, like the hi-hats on the video

[@miguelviscarra9970]

@@meiji.. Yes, you can!

[@meiji..]

@@miguelviscarra9970 how?

[@miguelviscarra9970]

@@meiji.. The same way that Ocean Did! Assign the Sample to the top most key in the Ultrabeat (Sample 25) now yo can play that sample pitched across the higher keys on the midi controller. Of Course not all the Samples! Just the top most, like hi hats

Hello Ocean, I'm a profesional musician from Colombia and I appreciate your knowledge about the programming beats and the music ideas you build. I have been a Logic Pro user for 9 years and I haven't had knowledge about how to do it efficiently. With your videos I have learned a lot. So Than You!

Glad to have helped bro 💯

[@yrfn6820]

[@amuilavarasan7802]

all of the samples in ultrabeat say "sample 01", like they're the same sample, and that's what's allowing you to pitch shift. how did you get it like that? i've set my default to "drag and drop samples", but i still have sample 01, sample 02, sample 03, etc., and it doesn't allow me to pitch shift

[@rafaelmonzon7389]

Hopefully you got this figured out but it doesnt really matter. Just make sure that you select the very top sample as the one you drag the drum sample in and then open the keyboard roll and you should be able to pitch it up. If you want to be able to pitch down too, make sure to detune the original sample by an octave

g yes I may have 2 potential options. 1 try to put it on the highest option of ultra beat I was putting it in the lowest sample rather than the top one, but 2 you can try using the drum machine designer, which you can learn from a video by Tony Holliday that’s what I’ve been doing I didn’t do 1

same problem...

[@messierultra]

Instead of unloading the samples, just go to the drum kits and select "drag and drop" samples, and you will have a clear thing that you can load!

[@prodbyocean]

☝🏿and if you don't have that, I think you can download it a part of the logic additional content

[@SelfPropelledDestiny]

@@messierultra So I got the drag and drop samples preset going, however when I plug in my one sample to one of the buttons, i can change the pitch with the knob. But the pitch won't automatically change for every key like his does. Anybody?

[@travis4357]

im having the same problem. the drag & 'drop samples' preset automatically has each note set up for a different sample, on the video they all say Sample 1. how do i change it to have each note say Sample 1?
