Lesson transcript

Introduction to Synthesis

Welcome to this part of the course!

We're going to be talking about synthesis and how to utilize synthesizers to create movements, originality, and interest.

Focus on Logic Alchemy

The Swiss Army Knife of Synthesizers

We'll be discussing one particular synthesizer: Logic Alchemy.

  • It is really the Swiss army knife of the synthesizers that come with Logic.
  • In fact, Alchemy is actually four synthesizers wrapped up in one!

So, we'll be covering that and looking at what it can do.

Okay, let's get stuck in!
