Two initial stalwarts are Overdrive and Distortion. These all benefit from a relatively simple control set, and when applied discreetly, don’t necessarily result in the input being completely covered in distortion. In other examples, you’ll want to use Distortion as a noticeable effect, where the sound is mangled to a point where it’s (almost) unrecognisable from the original source.ĭistinguishing between these two contrasting approaches, therefore, and the plug-ins you can use to achieve them, is a key component in using Logic Pro X’s distortion plug-ins effectively.įor simple, relatively transparent applications of distortion, you’ll want to use the Distortion, Overdrive, Distortion II and Bitcrusher plug-ins. Each plug-in offers a slightly different approach and characteristic of distortion.ĭistortion can be highly effective applied as a subtle tool, adding drive and character to an input rather than it sounding notably distorted. Logic Pro X has a bewildering selection of plug-ins from the versatile Distortion and Overdrive plug-ins, to more guitar-friendly options like Pedalboard. Engineers have long used distortion as a means of adding ‘mojo’ to a sound – whether it’s a touch of drive across some drums, or some aggressive distortion on a synth bass.
