Did your drummer get lost on the way to the studio? Don’t you just hate it when that happens? Oh, you have Logic Pro X? Never mind.
Listen, I love playing with a live drummer. Some of my best musical partnerships have been with amazing drummers. But I’ve kept my greatest rhythm relationships private because I haven’t wanted to hurt any of my drummers’ feelings. Because I’m putting my own feelings in print, I might as well go all in. I love Drummer and Ultrabeat. There, I said it.
In this chapter, you discover how to use the new virtual drummer and Ultrabeat, the groove machine. You create beats, build custom drum kits, and use a pattern sequencer. Drummer and Ultrabeat make Logic Pro X an amazing songwriting tool and a music-producing powerhouse. But whatever you do, don’t beat on your computer. It only sounds like a drum — it’s not built like one.
