    This is why I can't leave Logic. The stock plugins are basically everything you could ever want (minus the tuning plugins, it's been like 15 since stock autotune has been updated smh)

    • @stefanguy
      @stefanguy  Před rokem +8

      You’re so right bro! And yeah they need to sort the pitch correction out. I suppose maybe because they introduced flex pitch it hasn’t been a priority. Would definitely be nice to have a better auto tune though!

    hi stefan - this beat is absolutely incredible as always. i was just gonna ask about the bass instrument/smart strings you used because i know you said you were using stock plugins, but are those instruments you used stocked in logic? if not, where can i get them? they sound so smooth !

    • @stefanguy
      @stefanguy  Před rokem

      Hey Alexis, firstly, thank you! Secondly, yep they're stock Logic instruments. The bass is from "Retro Synth" and is called "Classic Analog Bass" and the Strings can be found in the library. Hit Y and either search Smart Strings or go to Orchestral > Strings > Smart Strings. If it's not there, you may need to download it, but it's free and included with Logic. Hope this helps!
