I’ve been trying to work out what FX are on the guitar from 1:18 and throughout. Is it phase/flange? Envelope filtered with rotary/chorus/ensemble? Doing me head in

Recommend this book. I’ve gone from not finishing tracks to not even starting any which I think maybe the key?

I’ll have a go. There’s not a lot of movement, and it sounds out of phase. But not a phaser. Could be chorus/flanger with zero/low feedback, tight delay time (manual), low depth and fast rate. Or possibly zero depth and delay time / manual used as a static filter. Plus overdrive. Great sound!

Wicked thanks. Yeah love that track!

The secret to finishing all of the tracks is to take lots of drugs, the final 10% is the hardest part for me, as it is for many. Maybe more drugs ? Idk
Have you gleaned anything useful from this book ?

It’s pretty good. Lots of mindset tips like momentum beats perfection etc etc. I’ll have a think and try and summise the best bits.

sounds like a rotary effect to me, with distortion added and gated heavily to get the tails off?

Could be! I was thinking fairly heavy limiting/compression but it could be gating
Sounds like a harmonizer with pitch shifting to my ears-eg Eventide
Along similar lines you could achieve this effect I reckon with Soundtoys Crystallizer with the resonance turned up to make the fundamental pop
Edit: listening again I reckon harmoniser followed with a filter/ eq rolling off a lot of the high end crunch

Anyone here using Logic for production? My son has started using it, learning how to make drum & bass tunes.
Any tips for good You Tube etc Logic tutorials ?
Or any general helpful insights about using Logic?
Cheers. Much appreciated.

Never used Logic, but I found Reddit really helpful when I was learning Live. I’m sure there will be a dedicated Logic community. 9 times out of 10 there will be an answer for whatever problem you’re having. Plus lots of knowledgeable people and tutorials and other resources.
I found it very helpful to think of it in the same way as any musical instrument and once I had the basics down, I spent time on copying a track I love (choose something fairly simple to start with) concentrating on each part (drums/bass/instruments/fx/etc) individually. Breaking down each sound and reproducing it is great for learning synthesis, programming and composition.

Thank you very much.
My advice would be to search YouTube for a Logic tutorial in the chosen genre, there should be plenty.
I did that when I was refreshing my memory with Logic so I could take advantage of the (arguably better than Live) bus/mix routing for sending stems to my mixer for dubbing and found some really good Dub tutorials.
Logic I find personally is maybe better for mixing and working with stems but Live is better for sound design/creative sessions. But I guess it’s like anything, muscle memory.
This one is recent so should be relevant to latest Logic version

Ohm Unit has a really nice sample pack on Bandcamp with lovely breaks to sample, chop up, imitate. Run them through a bit crusher, reduce the bit rate, and get the classic early ‘90’s sound.

Totally - he has quite a few packs to go through and each one is choc-a-bloc with filthy goodies.
