How to make a simple song

Sound/Logic

Posted by HYP on August 10, 2019

Introduction

Using Logic to make a simple song is very basic, I share the process and some feelings during arrangement. By the way I learn it from youtube, if you are interested in it, please google “logic” and you will find many tutorials.

Here is the preview of my project:

Main

1.记谱

During this period, we need to keep reading music score, so it is necessary to remember every part of music in mind. if we do, it will reduce much time when we arrange prelude, interlude, refrain, bridge and ending. Besides, transcription is important, it improves our listening, also made me to not depend on others music score, mistakes in music score are found easily.

2.使用LOGIC

Open logic, the whole process will be devided into these parts: melody, chors, bass, strings, rhythm, other instruments

根据我十分粗浅的体会,主旋律比较好的得到,主要的是和弦的铺垫;和弦这部分涉及乐理,一定要再好好补一下,之前学的全还给老师了…… 鼓点LOGIC都提供了很多选择,直接拉来用就行,比CUBASE要上手快得多;在这首歌里面主要和弦体现是吉他和贝斯,也是这次才知道可以这样写,吉他对和弦的操作更像是琶音,贝斯是和弦的基音,提琴教程说是“藏音”,我理解这多方合作,其实是多阶谐波的组合,自然会好听很多。

3.制作过程

一般来说,歌曲有重复的特点,所以可以做好4-8个拍然后复制,后半段可以复制前半段,前奏和结尾不一样,注意中间要修改一些地方
1.建立主旋律轨,选择乐器,钢琴卷帘写入音符,注意节拍位置,最好分小节写,方便后期复制,否则还要用剪刀剪开,增加工作量,另外最好能MARK下标记,方便标识
2.建吉他轨,写入和弦,主要在C3,注意范围不要跨度太大,如果出现了C4的音,就改变下回到C3,和弦的问题下次重点说
3.建贝斯轨,写入和弦基音,主要在C2,贝斯轨在这里是比较简单的音符
4.建弦乐轨,“藏音”,这个专业术语是什么我还没找到,怎么“藏”也还不知道规则,目前是从和弦里找组合音符,听起来还算和谐……
5.建drummer轨,这个就目前先从库里选,注意原曲的乐器特点
6.混音,对每一轨的效果确认,平衡每轨之间的关系,这个也下次重点说

整个过程中,首先注意快捷键的使用,最初始的LOGIC有一些快捷键是没有的,可以自己设置,其次建议在最开始的时候留白1-2小节,体验会好一点,最后乐器的选择也很重要,注意和谐……

4.作品

There are some mistakes and crude places needed to be changed, I will update the song later.
