Creating pulsing effects
The ability to turn a static sound into a pulsating rhythmic effect can add both rhythmic and chordal interest to your music. We’re going to create a range of pulsing effects using Logic Pro X’s audio plug-ins, which means it can be applied to an instrument in your mix – whether it’s something you’ve recorded, or a virtual instrument.
As you’ll see in the walkthroughs, there are a number of key plug-ins to create pulsing. The first of these is the Tremolo plug-in, in the Modulation plug-in folder. The Tremolo plug-in, of course, was primarily designed to process instruments like an electric guitar or Fender Rhodes electric piano, mimicking the Tremolo effect found on many guitar amps. In its default setting, the Tremolo plug-in modulates amplitude, with a different phase offset between the two channels (left and right), so the sound appears to wobble between the left and right-hand speakers. If we’re creating pulsing sounds,
