Lesson transcript

Enhancing Sounds with Distortion and Filters

So personally, I'm a real big fan of taking a simple sound and applying things like distortion to give it some extra edge and some grit.

For example:

  • I might put that on my drums.
  • I really like doing things like that.

Additionally, filters work really well a lot of the time when you have sounds that you are already happy with, but you want to add some extra sonic interest to them.

So you should definitely check out both filter and distortion plugins in Logic!
