Great walkthrough! I still am wondering why Chris keeps duplicating parts instead of looping them (Garageband style) when they are the same (or even instancing them) so changing notes etc is easier. I guess it is inherited from the old days when it was not possible at all?

Hi Hoof, yup its just the way I work and have been using logic since version 4, way before looping. Also I find with real copies less chance of loops not getting shorten by accident or turn off etc etc. No difference in the end I suppose.

Thanks so much for this. One of my favorite songs of all time, wish trance went back to stuff like this that focused on melody, harmony, etc.. rather than white noise and simple shock value. Would love it if you guys could continue making tutorials for trance around this vein.

Love how you stay so native within Logic. Its so refreshing at a time where people are using presets on every new softsynth and still can't come close to the production quality you achieve. Thanks for another awesome tutorial ;)

Big Sky is a great track, but in this tutorial Chris seemed a little lost at why Kicks had compression and EQ on them. "I'm not sure" is not something I look for in a tutorial.
