Mixing Electronic Music with Logic Pro

Boosting frequencies in a normal eq can cause phase shifts; cutting frequencies reduces phase shift, and linear phase eq preserves phase with cpu load, best for mastering.

Apply drum EQ in Logic Pro, cut low end at 60 Hz, and adjust snare, clap, and toms. Turn off analyzer to save CPU, layer loops, and sidechain to kick.

Explore eq in practice for drums in a Logic Pro project, tightening the kick's low end while preserving high-end clarity and using gain and unity to balance levels.

Learn how the Logic Pro compressor uses threshold and ratio to reduce gain and tame peaks, adjusting threshold, ratio, and gain to control the amount of gain reduction.

Experiment with compressing the hat loop in Logic Pro to create a uniform drum feel, using VCA and envelope shaping to tighten transients and balance the tambourine and shaker.

Compress the Rhodes with a soft knee model, shape the attack using envelope control, and apply an octave circuit on the chorus to level dynamics with the bass and drops.

Explore vocal compression techniques in logic pro, shaping vocals and vocal chops with careful eq before compression, using the opto circuit, 4:1 ratio, and long release, while keeping strings uncompressed.

Use delays to add space and depth in dance music, filling gaps between hits and stabs and guiding vocals at fast tempos with deliberate placements and parameters.

Explore reverb fundamentals, from early reflections to the tail, and learn to adjust room size, delay, width, and dry/wet balance to shape space on synths.

Shape and mix the bass in Logic Pro by EQing around 50 Hz and 90–100 Hz, then balance it with the drums and widen the bass using imaging.

Balance the vocal with compression to keep a bass-like presence in the mix, then enhance with an exciter and a delay on a bus, finishing with tweaks and automation.

Apply a few mastering techniques to level the entire mix, bringing the track to completion. Then bounce the final version.
