Thank you man this is super helpful!

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Thanks for doing that. I need to get that in the description.

[@freddiecruiseofficial]

Nathan Larsen you‘re welcome!

[@jquinton]

You a goon for this! Thank you!

[@godzil42]

6 -> Or freeze the track to do the exact same thing without creating or replacing the track with something else.

[@joelonsdale]

Really enjoyed the video! My number one tip is to read the online manual. In Logic you have a world class piece of highly developed software and you are denying yourself of it's (and therefore your own) potential if you are bluffing your way through on a few KZbin videos. The manual is online, free, broken up into bite size pieces, searchable, cross-indexed and up to date.

[@edgaracevedo9658]

Do you have the link for online manual?

[@joelonsdale]

@@edgaracevedo9658 No, but Google does.

[@adart2496]

Hey Nathan, I've been working in Logic for 20 years - back to Emagic! But I still learned from this video. Amazing how one doesn't know what one doesn't know:) Many thanks.

[@BrettNord]

thanks Nathan for creating this video.. so helpful as I'm getting started.. some I'm ready for now, some I'll bookmark and revisit cheers!

[@gandyrewgoeslightly]

I'm coming back to Logic after a long hiatus (Logic 8) and this has been a fantastic look into things I should have known and also tips for the newer version - very thankful to be stumbling upon your channel and will definitely be checking out more periodically once I get the hang of some of these more fluently 🙏

[@h3rzmus]

Great Tips Nathan, thanks for making this video!

[@evanpeterjones]

I learned way more than 17 tips from this video just watching you maneuver the application. Your competence inspires. Subbed.

[@sheepwelington]

I also went through the comments and saw you liking and responding to each one, and that just gave me so much more respect for you dawgie! Subscribed before I even finished the vid, keep up the good work my guy!!

Awesome video my friend! I'm just a hobby guy looking for more ways to make things interesting and I took a bunch of notes here. I'm really looking forward to trying some of these tips! Rock on brother!!!

[@danny1959]

Thank you for these tips! I've been using Logic for years and didn't know some of these.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

For sure! Glad it helped ya!

[@JakeBabineauMusic]

Someone may have already mentioned this but instead of using the scissor tool for your secondary tool I find it's way more useful to use the marquee tool. The Marquee will technically is a scissor tool! Just command click and it will slice right where you click and for even more efficient cutting if you click and drag and then click again it'll create two cuts for you in one smooth motion. This is also great for adding automation points very quickly as when you drag and click it'll automatically create four points for boosting or reducing automation values! Incredibly powerful and compared to what just the scissors can do alone

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Yes! I have tried multiple times to get into a workflow with the Marquee tool but never could get super used to it to be honest. I totally get it is more of an all around tool but I've been using scissors for literally years that it's tough to break it and get into a new habit haha! Maybe I'm lazy LOL!

[@iamdannywyatt]

Nathan Larsen if you get used to the Marquee you will make another video of “I wish I knew this when I started using the scissors” 😉 you can do pretty much the same thing with the marquee and maybe 5-6 other things. If you select a section in between 2 bars and hit the Repeat shortcut, it repeats that section. Useful for when you have a region that’s not aligned to the grid but you want to make an exact copy and keep the position. The same can be applied to copy-paste. Select the section, hit copy, go to the beat where you want to paste it, click with the marque to set the “in” point and hit paste. That’s it 😊 and there’s more...

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

@@iamdannywyatt Haha! You got me sold :) haha

[@hilaryburrows9487]

@@iamdannywyatt I agree. Also you can snip with Command T which is what I tend to do out of habit.

[@830jkl]

C Pryme How do you cut a period?...and does it then turn into a comma?...jk 😜

[@davidkhammer]

Incredible video. Great tips. I did know a couple of them. But I need to watch this a few more times to absorb it all. Thanks for making it.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

That's great! Happy that it's helped ya!

[@GeorgePMusic]

Nathan that was such an awesome video bro ...thank you sooo much.. learnt a lot:)

[@MarcAntoineDias240]

this was sooo helpful, thank you so much!! I'm going to be so much quicker at producing and mixing now 🙏

[@grantleonard6766]

Literally changed everything. Earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep this up!

[@Heathen-Sun]

Omgosh. This is also so helpful. #16 has been a bane to recording vocals but knowing this will save me so much time doing more takes especially when I like a take but there’s that one part ya know? Your channel is so helpful. Thank you.

[@MicSolace]

These would've saved me so much time and workarounds, subscribed! 💪😭

[@gonzalovega159]

Thank you for sharing! Great tricks

[@kennethochoa7550]

good stuff .... i never knew about about most of this stuff but what hit home as a newbie is that click track adjustment

[@sharonraizor2839]

I have been using Logic since it was owned by eMagic. It continues to get better and better, bigger and bigger. Thanks for your help in researching the details and putting them out there. I always learn something, and it is good to have a refresher on the things I do (or did) know, as well as new features.

[@michelthibodeau8550]

TY for sharing all your knowledge 😊 !

[@loganbuermann9226]

very helpful. good shit my man.

[@ericjtomsky]

Super cool video man-- I've actually been using the transpose function to put together bass lines (since I don’t own one) where I'll cut the bass line on the low e string of my guitar and transpose it down. Has been working for me much better than combining different midi sounds!

[@girelifeyzo5458]

Honestly a great tutorial! Keep up the logic tips pls!

[@paulsavio6846]

Great video, I learned two new things!

saving presets ... I knew there was a way to do it.. but thanks for showing me.. because once I got the normal vocal presets right.. I didn't want to have to individually do the same thing for each project so i'm grateful now.
