CREATIVE AUDIO EDITING IN LOGIC PRO X

This tutorial works from the assumption that you’re bouncing regions previously assigned to virtual instruments (in this case, Alchemy). There’s no reason why all of this can’t be applied to music that has been recorded in as audio – like drums, guitar or hardware synthesizers – especially where you want the part to have a deliberately ‘modified’ or ‘edited’ feel.

CUT AND PASTE

One of the key advantages of audio is the ability to restructure and rearrange the material. This can form a key part of the musicality of the end result. Slicing a region into beats, for example, or even down to 16th divisions, can produce edits with sharp transitions between pitch and timbre. You can also consider bouncing the region with different effects, so that a part jumps between an un-processed version of itself, for example, to a version that has
