Information

With the new millennium, I upgraded to Logic Pro X and started using paid software instruments and effects, most notably Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog VA-2, Native Instruments FM8 and Waves plugins (H-Series and metering plugins). I also relied on the Logic EXS24 sampler and Logic synths such as Retro Synth and Sculpture. One amazing feature of Logic Pro X was Drummer which I used extensively on most of the tracks. I loved the variations and dynamics of the virtual drummers (Leah and her friends). By then, I had realized that I liked production, recording, mixing & mastering as much as composing and playing instruments. I made a conscious decision to learn everything I could in the Art and the Science of Audio. I am very proud of the sound quality of Turn Around (as well as So Logical).

Technical details

Composed and recorded using Apple Logic Pro X (mostly), Logic EXS24, Applied Acoustics Systems Ultra Analog VA-2, Native Instruments FM8, Green Oak Software Crystal, Logic Drummer, Logic Retro Synth, Logic Sculpture, Logic Ultrabeat, Logic ES M, Logic Alchemy and a few samples. Hardware used include a Focusrite 2i2 Audio Interface, my old Kawai K4 and a small M-Audio Oxygen 25 Blue as controllers and a pair of Yamaha HS5 studio monitors. Red Ruby was done in Garageband and used some specific instruments such as the Garageband Strings, Garageband Guitar and Garageband DgMono.

Mixed using Waves Dorrough Stereo and the Waves H-Series of plugins a lot (Waves H-EQ, Waves H-Comp, Waves H-Delay, Waves H-Reverb), the Logic Arp, Logic Channel EQ, Logic Compressor, Logic Gain and Logic Space Designer. Red Ruby, as a Garageband outlier, featured some additional plugins such as Logic Chorus, Logic Distortion, Logic Echo, Logic Guitar Amp Pro, Logic Limiter, Logic Multipressor, Logic Noise Gate, Logic PlatinumVerb and Logic Tremolo.

Mastered using Waves WLM Plus and iZotope Ozone.
