Take 9

NOTE

Track 9: (Ch 9) Tubular-bell

Sequence Parameters box: Qua 1/8 note

Instrument Parameter box: Cha 9, Prg 14

Transport Bar: (L) 1.1.1 (R) 9.1.1

Follow these steps:

  1. Record the tubular bell (Figures P5.24 and P5.25). It works like a charm . Pan it to value 94 for now.

  2. Now we calculate how many times to repeat the seashore and tubular bell. 72 bars, divided by 8 = 9 times. Use Functions > Object > Repeat Objects. In the resulting dialog box, you will be asked:

  • Number of Copies type 9 here.

  • Adjustment select Auto here.

  • as select Aliases here.

  1. Save Song compare with project5/5.9.

What now? We have 80 bars of music, a full sound canvas with no room left for any moving parts without the risk of confusing the listener. I still think it needs something else ... a pad of some kind ... high strings in fifths will create a nice backdrop and sit well with the descending guitar chords. Now it just so happens that Logic's own virtual softsynth, the ES E (Figure P5.27) is capable of some great pad sounds.

NOTE

An alias looks like an object ( Figure P5.26 ), but doesn't contain data. It's a reflection of the original. Any further changes to the original are reflected in the alias. It's recognizable by italic text.

NOTE

The ES E (es ensemble) is an eight-voice polyphonic softsynth and very useful for a variety of 'pad' and ensemble sounds.
