Groove3 Logic Pro Beat Breaker Explained

Looking for a way to shake things up and turn those stale beats into something fresh again? Logic Pro's Beat Breaker has you covered. In this Logic Pro course, Logic Pro guru Eli Krantzberg will take you on a tour of this entertaining and useful plugin, showing you how it does what it does and how to make it do what you want it to do. You'll learn how to deconstruct, mangle, and reimagine a beat in innumerable ways - via pitch, timing, effects, and much more. By the end of this Beat Breaker video course, you'll know the plugin inside and out, and you'll be ready to start using it like a pro on your very next beat. These Beat Breaker videos are designed for new users.

Eli starts with an overview of the plug-in, explaining what it can do and providing a few examples so you can get a good idea of its functionality right off the bat. Then he starts to get into the details, beginning with input and output snapping, which is the method used to create variations in timing, pitch, etc. for drum loops, beats, and anything else you'd like to treat with it. You'll also see how pitch snapping can be used to move chords up or down by semitones and add gliding effects via the curve parameter.

Next, you'll learn how to use the Repeat function to generate stuttering, glitchy effects, along with the DeClick parameter to control the sharpness of the transients for the repeats. Explore the Volume function after that and see how the slope and curve parameters can be used to create unique envelopes on one or more slices. Other topics include vocal chops (creating vocal slices with a bit of randomization), beat pumping (generating side-chain effects), creative pad envelope shaping (adding dynamic elements to static pads), drum fills (using automation to trigger various fills throughout the arrangement), mix bus uses (fun ideas for using over the entire mix), and more.

Beat Breaker is a fantastic way to quickly inject life into a beat that needs that little something extra, or you can get creative using it on other sources to put a unique sonic stamp on an instrument, a bus, or an entire mix. This Logic Pro course is the best way to quickly master the Beat Breaker plug-in and learn how to get the most out of it on your own productions.
