“
This was a very good tutorial. Steve Horelick did a very good job of breaking down a very complex instrument and keeping things digestible while not being patronizing. His friendly and humourous approach helped a great deal. I found I was much less intimidated by the ES 2 after watching his tutorial, and I felt much more in control. Perhaps the only criticism I would offer is that perhaps some more time spent on characterizing some of the sounds that individual waves or combinations of waves could create would have been useful, perhaps as a kind of appendix. Other than that it was an excellent tutorial. ”

“ As I have purchased many other Logic tutorials, I was a little hesitant to get this one. After all, how different could it be?
I am really glad I decided to go ahead and get it. So appropriately named. This really exposes and demystifies the ES2. I had no idea how powerful this engine is. Steve H. does it again. The only thing I wish he had done differently is to add practical examples to his explanations of the filter section instead of just using white noise to explain the filters. While white noise is great at graphically showing how filtering works, what are some examples of how they are or have been used to enhance musicality?
This is another STRONG video. Get it and be amazed at what the ES2 can do. ”

“ The tutorial is easy to understand, well thought out, thorough instructions, the humor was ok too. Oh and the variable speed was a great idea!!! ”

“ I've taken a lot of the MacProVideo tutorials and this is the best one yet. Delves into great detail without becoming too obtuse. I am eager to get into the ES2 and start applying my new knowledge. No longer a slave to factory presets! Thanks, Steve H.! ”

“ The ES2 is a brillant learning video, if your like me and are new too software music production these videos are a must. I've watched logic starter and ultrabeat also and the information they give you is priceless. It takes the frustration out of learning ”

“ Loved it...learned alot. I will need some refreshers. Overall, I couldn't walk away from it. Thanks, that was a blast -- very enjoyable.

I am looking forward to watching the other videos. ”

Description

Steve H. and his trusty assistant Igor are at it again ... creating incredible tutorials, that is! This tutorial is as entertaining as it is educational. By mixing clever audio comedy with facts about synthesis and tone creation, Steve has made what is possibly the best Logic tutorial ever! You might think that's a big statement, but watch this tutorial and you'll understand what I mean ...

This tutorial is as much a lesson in the theory of synthesis as it is an deep exploration of the ES2. Drawing on years of sound design experience, Steve shows you what subtractive , FM, and Pulse Width synthesis really is. As an incredible bonus, steve demonstrates how these waves actually look using a digital oscilloscope, so you can see and hear the differences between these popular forms of synthesis.

Mixed into the tutorial are several bonus sound design workshops which show you how to build common sounds, from the ground up using the ES2's oscillators, filters and other audio functions. The ES2 is an incredible sound design tool, and the included workshops will not only show you what's possible, but also provide ideas and inspiration for producing your own sounds.

But best of all, this tutorial contains a deep exploration of Vector synthesis. Vector synthesis is a method of automating sounds to change over time, and it's a hidden treasure in the ES2 that almost nobody uses. With Vector Synthesis, you can truly define your sounds by making interesting and musical timbres that nobody has herd before. Vector synthesis is a sound designer's dream, and Steve H. shows exactly how it works in this tutorial.
