Overview

Status: Available | Released: Jun 18th, 2006

If you are a Logic user, but you have not gotten into Sculpture, you're missing a phat instrument. Simply stated, Sculpture sounds amazing! It's a powerful synth, but at first glance it is intimidating!

Thankfully, we have Steve Horelick, a master synthesist, here to show you the way! With his trusty sidekick Igor in tow, Steve strips Sculpture to it's basics before building it back up, step by step, to show you how to synthesize rich and musical timbres that have never been heard before.

Sculpture is certainly a synthesist's dream tool. With a depth of programing that could shame any traditional synthesizer and the ability to save and recall your custom patches at any time, Sculpture will become one of the most important tools in your audio arsenal. Steve shows you how to model wood sounds, bells and metallic hits, smooth strings, and so much more ... if you avoid presets like the plague and insist upon uniqueness in your sounds, this is a must watch tutorial program.

Steve's best-selling tutorials on Sound and Logic's Effects Plugins are a main-stay of our tutorials here at macProVideo.com ... you'll be please to know he brings all of his talents, and also his assistant Igor, to this new tutorial program! In our opinion, this is the best one yet!

Great course on a workhorse of a Logic Pro plug-ins! Steve Horlick does a great job of breaking down each component of Sculpture to make it easier to see how it works. He provides detailed instructions along with audio examples for quicker learning. This is a great tool in a synthesist's arsenal and the instructions in this course will help them get the most out of it!

Great course. Is long enough to go through everything, but watching it at one go is strongly not advisable! Can't go wrong with this one. Very exciting also.

This tutorial is crystal clear. The order in which everything is outlined is very well done so you get a real grasp of the basics first. Every separate video has a clear subject and is not too cramped with information. Very well done!

Really found the tutorial helpful. Logic's manual left me scratching my head with regards to the morph pad and Lfos. This video helped to complete my basic understanding of this amazing plugin. Thanks a lot.

This is a fantastic tutorial. It really de-mystifies and opens out this synth which can be pretty intimidating to non-programmers like me. I have worked through the Logic manual before and left it alone feeling none the wiser but Steve's excellent clarity has really enabled me to 'get' it. I also love his manner; his humour and enthusiasm only added to the accessibility of the material. I would have liked some explanation of the Delay Groove Pad as well as some of the global parameters Steve didn't touch on. Maybe for another version? All-in-all very happy with it.

Steve does an amazing job of explaining a really complex instrument. I felt a little lost before I saw this video; now I'm just overawed with sonic possibilities.

The way the video is produced is fantastic everything to my knowledge is explained throughly enough that I can start producting my own sounds in a quick and timly fashion.

The information is excellent, but I sometimes feel like the tone is a little cheesy. Thanks for the opportunity to give some feedback. I like the interface, too. Very smart.
