Building Variation and Intensity in your Mixes
I’m using Logic Pro X to demonstrate how I build variation and Intensity in my original song “Drunken Calls”. We’ll take a look subtle changes between the verses and choruses to keep the song interesting and keep the listener engaged as the song progresses.
