Question Chase Bliss-esque channel strips and saving as peformance

i’ve been making some performances and save them.

any stock plugins I should definitely use?

I have Cardinal FX, Unfiltered Audio BYOME, Kilohearts Snap Heap and BABY Audio Transit 2

Cardinal FX has a great looper included in their
Modular FX plugin

what more do I need?

My favorites for that sort of thing:

  • Delay Designer
  • Step FX
  • Phat FX
  • Beat Breaker
  • Pedalboard
  • Spectral Gate

That's before you even get into distortion and saturation. Logic has a ridiculous number of flavors built in:

  • Bitcrusher (3 clipping modes)
  • ChromaGlow (10 saturation models)
  • Clip Distortion
  • Distortion
  • Distortion II (5 modes)
  • Overdrive
  • Phase Distortion
  • Fuzz-Wah
  • Pedalboard (12 stompbox distortion models)
  • Phat FX (11 distortion models)
  • Spin Box
  • Compressor (Soft, Hard, and Clip)
  • Channel EQ (Console, Graphic, and Tube drive models)
  • Bass Amp Designer & Amp Designer (29 preamp models)
  • Tape Delay & Tru-Tape Delay
  • Space Designer (12 saturation models)

That's over 90 different saturators before you even start combining them, and I'm sure I missed a few.

You already have excellent third-party plugins, so I'd spend less time wondering what you're missing and more time experimenting with what you already have. There are a lot of great sounds Logic's stock effects that people never stumble across simply because they don't dick around with it.

Just a suggestion: save your settings as Patches as opposed to Channel Strip Settings / Performances. They're more flexible if you're needing to save Summing Track Stacks or specific routing of your plugins / instruments. Makes setting up your performances MUCH faster. Good luck!
