If you don’t know already many mixing and audio post-production engineers use a convolution reverb. This is a great little convolution reverb plugin that is included with the purchase of Logic Pro X. We all need a little space now and then and I find myself needing Space Designer even more often. This plugin, if used in small amounts, will become your go to for vocal (and instrument) thickening. Next time you have to mix a song and wish the vocals were doubles or that the hook was thicker, open up Ensemble. You could use a chorus or flanger to try and thicken these tracks, but Ensemble is much more complex and can be used more subtlety. Do those background vocals sound too thin or unexciting? Could that lead vocal that could use some more depth and character? The solution is Ensemble. This is a great pitch modulation plugin that can create up to 8-chorused voices. Be sure to use the Low frequency control to find the exact range your track will benefit from.Īnother underutilized plugin included with Logic Pro X is Ensemble. One of my favorite presets is Sub Enhancer, which, when used lightly, can be a good mastering effect. Just insert this baby on your 808s, kick drums, bass guitars, or even an entire mix and feel the rumble. If your mixes aren’t moving enough air and blowing up people’s trunks then this plugin is for you. This is a really easy to operate sub harmonic frequency exciter. The next plugin I want you to try is SubBass. Try the Britannica Crunch preset for some Kanye West style distortion and don’t forget you can actually move the virtual mic around for even more tones! 2.

Don’t just think of this plugin just for electric guitar it is great for vocals, MIDI synth sounds, drums, and loops. Logic Pro X has a wide variety of distortion plugins, but one of my favorites is Amp Designer.Īmp Designer simulates the characteristics of a guitar amplifier and there are many styles and types to choose from. Almost any song you hear these days has some type of distortion used in the audio production. We have elevated this effect that was once only the domain of rock to the level of a plate reverb.
