Project 56 - playing with loops in Logic Pro

Exploring the Oblique Structures sound pack today has been fun and thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones to silence the noisy hotel around me!

I’ll confess I’m not one for laying around by the pool on holiday, my creative neurodivergent brain can never switch off. I’ve either got to write, doodle or as I have been today, composing some music. I’m being a bit lazy though, I’m using loops in Logic Pro for iPad; or is that not lazy? No need to answer, I don’t really mind, it’s another way of being creative, using samples like audio Lego to build up something. I can always program in some custom drum patterns or chop n slice samples.

So far I’ve created about 1 minute’s worth of a track below and I’ll continue with it, later though, I must go for a swim.

Why project 56? I think I might have covered this before in a previous post, but it’s the way in which new files are created in the Logic app and over time I’ve ended up with 56 projects, probably only in the space of two months alone. So when a track reaches completion, it matures and is given a name! So this way I can see at a glance which projects I’m done with and which are still in draft as it were.

I quite like this way of working, I can either start something new most days or go back to something that was coming along well. The projects that were a bit meh may linger for longer but even those may have some legs. Everything has some use.

The track below will gain a name soon, I like how it’s shaping up

Will chat more soon, got to dash!
