Logic - synths?

[Ryan Ross]

I'm just getting back into the producing thing since switching over to Mac, and im using logic express instead of cubase. I'm still pretty new with the thing, and was hoping for some good suggestions on synths to use. I'm doing most of the drums stuff on reason, but want some crazy synths to play with in logic (need me some crazy baselines!).

Also, anyone know of some decent video tutorials or anything? There's so much to grasp that any help is appreciated!

bleh I don't think logic express supports vst plugin's..... if it does... then great.... cause there is a vst plugin called albino 2 .... Pretty good stuff...

ES1 is absolutely mint for bass lines.
If you're into VST's....Native Instruments Kontakt is deadly for Drums.

other sampler that I would suggest would be "Sample Tank 2"

I have a few Logic PDF tutorials, which are pretty decent. Hit me up.

Cheers

reaktor and filterscape are two of my faves

sorry if im coppin your thread, but what do you guys use for bass in cubase? ive tried shit like junglist, but I just can't seem to find that smooth realistic bass for hiphop

Check out Absynth, lots of good sounds for Jungle and hip hop.
B3 is also used a lot in hip hop

Sweet, thanks guys! Will try to check some of that out.

absynth is fucking nuts. i use it more for atmosphere, havent quite managed to get any sufficiently powerful bass sounds out of it yet though. filterscape is very versatile (especially when writing and assigning LFOs), and is quite easy to figure out.

surprise I have access to a lot of sounds, gimmie a phone ya like..

If you're a preset junkie then:

- Absynth, Albino 3, Rapture

If you like to do things from scratch:

- Albino 1,2,3, Z3ta, Novation V Station, Novation Bass station



What kind of bass sounds are you trying to make? Twisty reese sounds like noisia? If so, Kontakt sampler (or that logic sampler) is also pretty essential. That bass sound involves a lot of resampling to make it sound proper.

Rapture is pretty hot mango...
