Honoured and excited to have composed the original music for The Bermuda Triangle: Into Cursed Waters for @HISTORY on behalf of @WestOneMusicGrp Episode 1 out this week in the US and in the UK in January.

Right then, who wants to geek out? Don't be shy, a little nerd time is always a good time. This week's episode is a useful tip for media composers who want to manage MIDI Controller data effectively and... you see, I can't even Tweet without... yeah. https://t.co/NA7QPQBhBO

This week's Logic Pro X episode is dedicated to its Transient Designer plug-in. What do you mean it doesn't have one?! There it is, hiding in plain sight...👀 https://t.co/pZrVFjySsS

Icy clouds of reverb which hang, sustaining with malevolence. Or warm, dense spatial textures which provide a sonic canvas for your productions. Whether you're drawn to the light or the dark, Chromaverb's Freeze function is an Automation dream. https://t.co/1IDSvHFXHd

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Feeling bloated? Not you, your production, I mean. Obvs. Well perhaps this week's Logic Pro X episode can help. There are lots of ways to strip out and pare back a mix with too many elements. This week, the Step FX plug-in is helping with that very issue. https://t.co/OXjOlkjqIq

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

New Wednesday, new episode. Sometimes, reverbs can be more than a lovely sounding space. Let’s see what happens when a rhythmic loop becomes an Impulse Response in Logic Pro X: https://t.co/4xHnkh7V1Q

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Sometimes self-imposed creative limits can inspire. This week's Logic Pro X episode focuses on DJ-style stereo audio processing, including chop/edit techniques and Logic's Phat FX plug-in. No access to stems or individual tracks? No problem: https://t.co/sWEDj67RfK

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Morning all! It's new episode time. This week, we're going dee-ee-eep into Logic's Tape Delay, exploring what happens when Feedback gets deliberately out of hand. And while we're there, we'll have a look at the rest of the plug-in too. It's a gem... https://t.co/8NxZvtrVIh

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Last week, I promised you Part 2 of the Logic Pro X MIDI Effect named Modulator. Here I am to make good on that promise. You see, this effect is packing a secret weapon which I think you'll like. https://t.co/fN5scShBTe Have fun!

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

This week's episode is Part 1 of a 2-Part mini-series dedicated to the MIDI FX plug-in that Logic Pro X users the world over call Modulator. Why? Because that is its name. What can it do? Now there's a question. Come and see. https://t.co/zTXfFBVJyu

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Tempo Changes. Why they matter, what they do and how you do them. It's all here, in this week's Logic Pro X episode: https://t.co/kiHim7SX4x

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Let's tackle an EDM and Pop production classic this week. Be upstanding for the white noise riser. Here's how to make and shape one, in Logic Pro X: https://t.co/XHlGB87NJA

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

This week, we're all about Detune. Thickening the pitch of synths gives them power, gravitas and presence. There are a number of ways to do this in Logic Pro X, so head over here and learn the how, the where and the what have you: https://t.co/cSeeHo64YP

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

This week's episode showcases a peculiar Ultrabeat talent. Want to swap one of its three sound layers to act as a side-chain source for another track in your production? https://t.co/yqP9v4vD4r And if you have no idea what I'm talking about... come and see what you're missing.

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

I've been looking forward to this one. Delay Designer is much simpler to use than it looks and, via a combination of transposed Delays and the power of the Feedback Tap, you can create melodies. Confused? Don't be. Come see. https://t.co/0sPXZOmbRi #musicproduction #LogicProX

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Wednesday = new episode time. This week we're getting creative with Logic Pro X's Arpeggiator. Let's get past the usual things we know about EDM patterns and get to the good stuff, like building unusual sequences and generating off-the-wall drum patterns. https://t.co/jFe9AtfViX

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Let's hear it for New York. And specifically, the Compression technique guaranteed to add punch and power to your beats. https://t.co/LvXNa6LD0C I❤️NYC

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Want to create a warped bassline from a beat loop? Frequency Shifting within Logic Pro X's RingShifter plug-in will let you do just that. Just like this: https://t.co/e498Lr2oKk #musicproduction #makingbeats #logicprox

[Jono Buchanan @jonobuchanan]

Taking the best of MIDI beat programming and blending it with some Flex Time madness. Logic Pro X does wonky hip-hop: https://t.co/ootQMPwOIs
