So I'm working on a song that has a pattern throughout the entire song of "two bars 3/4, one bar 2/4" and that repeats the entire song. I know I can manually put those time changes in one by one, but for a 6 minute song, it's getting monotonous. I've seen screenshots of peoples work where they have section labels up top by the tool bar (Verse, Chorus, Bridge) would that be something to make it easier to repeat patterns like that? Or how would I do that easier?

That’s the arrangement track. I’m not in front of my computer right now, but I think it’s view>arrangement track.
Really handy for making drummer sound like it knows the song. I’m not sure if/how you can put time changes into it, though. What are you using for keeping time/drums? That’s really going to decide what your options are.

I'm programming drums using Getgood Drums Modern & Massive. The click confusion is more for my guitar and bass tracks since everything is me. The ONLY reason I don't do a straight 5/4 click is cause my timing is "1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3" Etc. VS. "1-2-3-4-5-1-2-3-4-5" |

Try some of these, perhaps? www.google.com/search?q=using+odd+tempos+logic&rlz=1C1GCEU_enUS869US869&oq=using+odd+tempos+logic&aqs=chrome..69i57j33.3870j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8Kicker is, if you can program the tempos into the arrangement track, Logic's Drummer will get the song "right", especially if you tell it to follow the bass or guitar track. I use that feature all the time. Here's one I just finished where I did that: soundcloud.com/the-opera-panther/suburbia My usual M.O. would be to: 1) put a scratch drum track in at the right tempo, and record a quick guitar take. Don't really care about getting it right, as much as laying the song down. 2) Lay down the bass track (trying to be more "right"). 3) delete drum track 4) open the arrangement track and add in the sections (intro, verse, chorus, etc) where they should be, per what I've recorded. 5) add a new Drummer track - it will now follow the sections, and do fills/rolls to transition from verse to chorus, etc. 6) tell the Drummer to follow whichever track you want it to follow - in this case (most cases?) it's the bass. 7) record the rest of the song. I know it sounds like a lot, but to me, that's the best, easiest way to get the drummer to sound like he's playing a song, rather than a beat. |
