Klopfgeist
Started learning Logic tonight at college. Logic is a software package for sequencing, arranging and editing music. While ProTools is more focussed on recording and editing “real” music and bands, Logic gives you the ability to take a few sampled instruments and create a professional sounding piece of pop/dance music in (literally) about two minutes. Not really my cup of tea I think you’ll agree, all along we thought Simon Cowell was to blame for the rise of the manufactured pop industry - but the real culprit is software like this!
The most interesting part of the lecture was the metronome feature in Logic, interestingly labeled ‘Klopfgeist’ , which , according to my esteemed German-speaking classmate, means “The Knocking Ghost”.
