OK, I admit it. I had my head turned by another plug-in. A third-party one. And yes, my glance lingered too long. But I’m hoping you’ll forgive me because the lessons I learnt whilst in its company I’ve brought back to Logic this week. What happens when one Filter plug-in feeds another? And what happens when that second Filter feeds a third? I’m going to show you how the use of LFOs and Envelopes can create really interesting tonal shapes within our tracks, allowing us to redefine the role of a particular sound completely. I’ll also show you how the side-chain input signal within AutoFilter can be routed to shape the Envelope response.
