For that you need to take the route of a virtual machine. Here is what you need to do:. So to ensure smooth running of the app, it would be better to check whether your device meets the following requirements. Despite an arduous installation process, the app is worth every bit the hardship.
It carries great features which are beneficial for beginners as well as professionals. It does a lot more than just cutting, trimming and joining audios. If you feel Logic Pro is a bit too much, then opt for Audacity. Considering its features, the app is also a very good substitute you might try. It is free to download and provides you with a multitude of features.
You can record or edit a sound from your computer. It is easy to handle and gives great results. It is another iOS option to choose from. GarageBand is a reliable DAW that is used widely around the globe. The app has a large library of a host of music to choose from.
You can mix your sounds or polish them. Full swing will be a triplet groove. But you can dial in how much the drummer will swing the beat with this dial. Both the Fills knob and the Swing knob can also be locked, so that you can try out different beat presets without these dials changing.
You can shape and polish the performance with the details button, which has different features depending on the drummer style. And for the electronic kits you can control the complexity range per drum part, as well as the humanize level and phrase variation. You can lock your settings so that you can change the drummer, while still maintaining the performance you already created and shaped.
You can even lock the drum kit, so that it will remain, even when changing to a completely different style of drummer. For example, having a rock drum kit played by a hip hop or EDM drummer. The drummer in Logic is truly remarkable, because even with the same settings on all features you can get a slightly different performance due to some randomizations in the algorithm.
Every time you do this, you will get a tiny variation to the performance. Now you can go in and adjust each drum hit individually. Add or delete notes, control the timing, velocity and so on. For example: Create a new track below the drummer and assign another drum plugin and kit. Then you can mute the drummer track completely, and the new drum plugin that you dragged the alias region to, will still play the performance based on the drummer region.
When checking this checkbox, you can choose which track inside your project the drummer will be influenced by, when creating its performance. However, it is not always working as expected, so you might want to double check. Also, if you change the track it follows, you need to refresh the drummer region, to make it update its performance accordingly. Now, as with almost anything inside the drummer track, this feature is also region based.
So you can have one drummer region be influenced by your bass track, and the next region by perhaps an ostinato strings track. One of my personal favorite ways of using the drummer in Logic Pro X, is not to create complete drum performances.
For example: I can use the drummer for adding fills to my epic cinematic toms. Or spicing up the high-end with stick hits on my Taikos, by using the hi-hat performance from the Drummer track, and so on.
Basically: I choose the drum part s from the kit, to create the percussion performance from. Then I choose the drummer, the style, shape the performance, and then I drag and drop the created region to the track I want to use it on. Transitions and fills are so important in music, for adding that spark of change and anticipation, for something new that you will introduce in the next section of your track.
That is why I often use a 1 bar drummer region to help me get a starting point for a fill or transition, that I can then option-drag to one or several percussion tracks in my composition. Then I can go into each of the copied regions and make some customizations to fit my specific needs. But the point is that I get a great starting point, which cuts down the time dramatically. And I love features that make my composition workflow more efficient!

Control the Transitions Create Transition Regions If you want even more control over the drummer track in a transition from one section to another in your track, you can simply cut a small extra region just before the transition point.
Change the Instrumentation The Drum Kit You also have independent control over the parts of the drum kit used, per region. Add some Fills Fills Knob You can use the Fills knob, and dial in the strength and complexity of all the fills, the Drummer adds to a selected region. You can also choose if the swing will be based on 8th triplets or 16th triplets feel.
Polish the Finish Details Button You can shape and polish the performance with the details button, which has different features depending on the drummer style. And again, what is so powerful is that you can control all of these per region.
Keep your Settings Cog Wheel — Keep… You can lock your settings so that you can change the drummer, while still maintaining the performance you already created and shaped. You will find both of these settings if you click the cog wheel beside the beat preset list.
