Why am I making this?

I recently watched Markiplier play “Baldis Basics” and the whole time I was thinking “What if I went and made a Dubstep song using Baldis Basics SFX?”

I somehow made this and I know I’m losing at least 100 followers for this monster. Those growls are pretty sick tho C: EDIT: I often stream while working on this song, so if you enjoy this, shoot me a follow and catch one of my livestreams!

Edit 2: Full song finally released! Click Here

How to make 8bit/chiptune in Logic Pro X

There are multiple ways of making an 8bit/chiptune song in Logic Pro X. You can use any of the built-in plugin synthesizers in Logic Pro X such as the ES1 or the ES2 synthesizers. With these you’ll be adjusting the resonance, oscillators, frequencies, among many other knobs until you get a very clean, pure synth sound. Another way is to use a clavinet and then simply add reverb, tremolo, maybe a little delay until you get the desired 8bit sound. Alongside these is also Logic Pro X’s distortion filter the 8bit Crusher. This allows you to add some 8bit/chiptune style distortion for more oldschool videogame sounding effect. Making 8bit/chiptune is fairly simple and straightforward and for those looking to get into 8bit/chiptune music I highly recommend checking out some tutorial videos on youtube for more information. This has been my blog on how to make 8bit/chiptune music on Logic Pro X. I hope you enjoyed.

Native Instruments - Massive

Massive is a commercial wavetable software synth plugin that is made by Native Instruments for use in professional audio production. It utilizes several wavetables and oscillators in the creation of various synthetic sounds. The software can be used as a VST plugin within a digital audio workstation, or as a standalone program which I think is pretty nifty. What makes Massive so useful for music production is it’s three oscillators that can be used for wavetable position, pitch, and wave shaping. From there the sound can be driven through two separate filters. The sound can then in output be shaped by four different envelopes which have settings for Attack, Delay, Release, and Sustain. These settings can be set individually by any of the knobs in the plugin interface. Combine this with the three modulation settings LFO (this allows you to create a wobbling filter effect on your music), Performer (this allows you to change the effect in different parts of a measure), and Stepper (this allows you to arpeggiate each individual note and control pitch) this plugin can allow you to create any kind of music that a user could want especially those into dubstep and bass wobbles.

Operating on both Windows and Mac, this software is for all levels of people in music from beginners to professionals and everyone in between. It was introduced in 1999 and has been growing quite steadily in popularity since then. It comes with a standard multi-track recording which is an unlimited number of audio and MIDI tracks for songs and cut/paste/splice features. Alongside these features is the seamless MIDI sequencing software and hardware. Another good thing to note about Ableton Live is that it comes with 23 sound libraries so you can start making music right out of the box. All around awesome for all people in the music industry. At number two we got FL studio. As a Windows only operating system designed for music beginners and up it is the best for those wishing to get their feet wet in making music on a digital audio workstation. FL studio has your standard protocol with pitch shifting, correction, time-stretch, cut, paste, and the works. The latest version of FL studio has over 30 synth software for straight out of the box usage. You can also use MIDI keyboards, record into it with a microphone, and do your standard editing and mixing. It is definitely great for beginners. At number three there is Apple Logic Pro X. As a medium to expert level digital audio workstation that is an operating system for Mac only Logic Pro X is for those who wish to take things to the next level. Logic Pro X has an advanced interface that includes track consolidation otherwise known as track stacking, instrument layering, an intuitive mixer for plug-in control, and a “score editor” to allow you to create your own MIDI from nine MIDI plug-ins. Also included is a “virtual drummer” which is an interactive drum set for visual implementation of drums and a programmable arpeggiator. Definitely a wonder for those wanting to step up their game. For number four, Avid Pro Tools. For those wanting to step up to the industry standard of mixing and mastering, Avid Pro Tools for the expert/professional music producer that operates on both Mac or Windows this software is a must. What makes Pro Tools so advanced is that it has the standard ability to compose, record, mix, master, etc. alongside it’s own Avid Audio Engine which is a super fast 64-bit processor so you don’t have to worry about lagging, freezing, etc. It also has it’s own latency input to help with any annoying delay and built-in metering. Combine these features with other features like time-stretch, Elastic Pitch which is like auto-tune, and 70 other effects like reverb, compressors, EQ’s, channel stripping, the works. Definitely a must for those wanting to advance to the professional level of music editing. Number 5 we have Propellerhead Reason. This digital audio workstation is for those kind of in the middle to semi-pro status as music producer. Operating on both Mac and Windows Reason is a pretty solid DAW for people who have a little bit experience in the music production field but aren’t quite professional. Reason has a very solid mixing console alongside being able to cut and splice audio files automatically. Pretty good all around for the middle to semi-pro producers out there. At number 6 there is Apple Garageband. Apple Garageband is a software for music beginners only and only operates on Mac. Garageband is special because of it’s friendly user-interface that helps visualize what you’re making with things like synths, keyboard, and percussion. It also helps those looking to learn how to play piano with a built-in lesson function for both piano and guitar. It also supports your standard USB keyboard and give you some soundloops to mess around with. In addition there’s also “smart controls” which is an interactive control of plug-ins like knobs, buttons, sliders, etc. An awesome digital audio workstation for beginners. For number 7 we got the Steinberg Cubase. This digital audio workstation which operates on both Windows and Mac and is for those who are semi-pro to expert music producers includes a signature key, score, and drum editor included in the workstation right off the bat. You also get your unlimited audio and MIDI tracks, reverb effects, incorporated VST’s, etc. Cubase alongside what has been mentioned also has one of the biggest sound libraries in the digital audio workstation scene straight out of the box.  Cubase has what is called the HALion Sonic SE 2 with a ton of synth sounds, 30 drum kits with it’s Groove Agent SE 4, EMD construction kits, LoopMash FX among many more. Great for those for looking for something a bit different while still on the industry standard. Number 8 the Cockos Reaper. Not quite as popular as the others but nonetheless compatible with both Windows and Mac for those semi-pro and up Reaper still holds strength as far as a dedicated digital audio workstation goes. What’s nice about Reaper is that you can download it free for 60 days before you have to buy a license to continue using it. It has the basic essentials like cut, paste, split, and edit tracks. You can drag and drop various VST’s and FX. Reaper is basically an open source, nitty gritty software. Good for producers wishing to get to the nitty gritty of their songs and tracks.

Featuring drag-and-drop functionality, unlimited tracks, MIDI, VST, buses, FX channels, integration mastering, a Melodyne feature, and some really nice reverb effects.

Choosing a digital audio workstation

For those new to electronic music the first thing you want to do is decide which digital audio workstation software you want to use. You want a program that is versatile, diverse, and user-friendly. You also want to make sure you can install plug-ins onto the software. This is important if you wish to try something different that is not found on the factory presets that originally came with your Digital Audio Work Station software of your choice. Me personally I love Logic Pro X. It’s versatile, has a huge diversity of sound presets, extremely user-friendly, and most of all it has thousands of sounds in it’s library to choose from that really allows an individual’s creativity to sore without limits. With that said make sure you do your research on the various different digital audio workstations out there and find some free trials for those particular brands of software until you find one that suits you and your musical taste.
