First Waveformless Video Tutorial: Using Logic's Mute Tool for More Interesting Synth Lines



Alright, before we even get into this, keep in mind it's my first attempt at something like this. So far, I haven't found a screen casting program that really feels like a fit. ScreenFlow is great but doesn't work with my MOTU 828 mkII for some reason, so I used Snapz Pro, which is alright, but won't let me import the files into Final Cut so I can use the snazzy intro slate I created or otherwise make it visually more interesting. This'll be an ongoing experiment, I suppose.

Anyway, dull visuals aside, I hope you find this tutorial useful and that it sparks a new idea or two... (Oh and select the 720p option for best sound and video...)

    Good start! Even though the mute tool has nothing special in itself, it is the usage you are making of it that is interesting. Thanks for sharing this technique.
