Groove3 Logic Pro: How to Use External Effects and Synths TUTORiAL

Do you wish you could use some of your favorite effects pedals and amps in Logic Pro the way you do a plugin? Or maybe you've got a killer-sounding analog synth that you'd like to control just like a virtual instrument? Well, step right this way, because you've come to the right place. In this Logic Pro video course, Logic Pro guru Stephen O'Connell will walk you through the process of connecting various types of outboard gear and interfacing seamlessly hassle-free! These Logic Pro videos are for Logic Pro users who already know their way around Logic Pro, but are looking to integrate external devices into their in-the-box workflow.

To begin, Stephen welcomes you and provides an overview of what we'll be covering, including the different types of outboard gear we'll look at and why you'd want to use it, along with what equipment you'll need to follow along. Then he explains the various types of audio signals (mic, line, and instrument level) at work in this type of scenario, how they differ, and how to convert from one to another properly.

Next, you'll explore the technique of reamping, in which you record a direct guitar signal and then send it out to an amp to record with a microphone. Stephen covers how this is done in Logic Pro, such as what connections to make, what gear you'll need, and how to get the signal back into Logic Pro. He also shows you how to deal with latency issues that can arise by using the stock Logic Pro I/O plugin.

There's plenty more to come as well, such as using outboard effects processors (compressors, EQ, reverb, etc.), triggering a hardware synth with MIDI (connections, set up, and the stock External MIDI Instrument plugin), programming more than just notes (controlling filter cutoff, resonance, LFO speed and more with MIDI), locking in time with arps and sequencers (setting your synth to follow Logic Pro's clock), using your synth manufacturer's plugin (for a hybrid workflow experience), and more!

No longer do those old, dusty effects boxes need to languish in your closet, forlorn and forgotten. Now you can enjoy all their audio goodness once again and seamlessly integrate their sonic palettes with your vast virtual ones.
