Chapter 5. The building blocks of composition

In Chapter 1, MIDI sequencing, I explained how technically challenged keyboard players like myself can record a difficult piece of music by breaking it down into manageable chunks . We dismantle the composition, piece by piece and rebuild it again as sequencing objects on a track in the Arrange window within Logic. You could liken this process to a building being dismantled and reassembled, brick by brick, in a new location. There is much to be learned by doing this, and Logic is an ideal place to do it because we can see the constituent parts , or building blocks, of a composition clearly displayed in the Arrange window.

NOTE

To examine the Logic files for this chapter, copy the folders named ' exile ' and 'blocks' from the CD to your computer.
