Recently I compiled an equivalencies for Native Instruments Guitar Rig 6 and I thought I’d complete the same list for the Logic pedalboard modules. Some of the observations in this are from this Reddit post but the vast majority are my own observations.
Guitar Rig is Native Instruments very own guitar amp and cabinet simulator. Much of their modules included in the software is an overt nod to a real-world amp, microphone or guitar pedal, however as they don’t own the copyright, many of the names are allusions to the gear they are emulating.
It’s been called the most important six second drum loop, it’s virtually spawned an entire genre, it’s subject to much debate in all corners of the internet from the legal ins-and-outs to how best to chop it up.

This article was originally published back in 2015. As with other well-read posts on this site, I’m trying to revisit some to tidy up some of the writing and audio and generally make them a little more professional.
At some stage or another, anyone who records in a humble home studio might want to move beyond the sound of an economy microphone and audio interface.
Outside of EQ there isn’t an audio effect I reach for more often than the trusty compressor. Coming in all different flavours, shapes and sizes, no two compressors are the same and it’s one effect I find I can never have too many of.
This is the second instalment in an informal series of Logic quick-reads, following on from my previous article on sampling drums in EXS24. Today we’re covering the topic of sidechain compression.
Spending years in bands self producing and releasing material, it was always clear to me that one part of the process stuck out and that’s drums.
Sidechain compression is a method whereby an external source is used to trigger a compressors, rather than the signal that’s being fed into its signal path.
It’s common place in electronic music and has been popularised by various french house producers. Hear
