41 Advanced Logic X Features I Wish I Knew Years Ago

[@NickRomeoReimannDE]

This video is literal GOLD for intermediate producers who've hit a plateau in their skill development. thank you so much

[@someone-iv8gl]

by far one of the best "advanced Logic Pro features" videos EVER 🔝

[@EchoSoundWorks]

thanks!

[@-KingOfKhaos]

8:24 - DUUUUUUUUDE !!!!!! That “insert silence” tip just saved me 30 minutes of HEADACHE!!!!!! Thank you for that one!!!!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@CalvinLimuel]

#30 you can also make subfolders. Type in the same name of the main category, type a colon ":", and type in a subfolder name. For example, "Dynamics:Compressor:VCA".

[@tehillimmusic]

34:45 press option while hitting the on/off button to get all the plugins/inst of the track to be truely inactive and not eating up cpu :)

Dang it I just left this same comment 🤣

Just got a new MacBook for out of the studio work. I usually run cubase at home on my desktop but have decided to exclusively work with LPX on the go due to its stellar optimizations with Mac OS. This video was super refreshing since its been about 2 years since I've used LPX. Thanks so much!

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Thanks for sharing!

I’m a life long Pro Tools user. After updating my computer to a maxed out M1 Max 16” and continuing to get errors I started putting more effort into Logic. Until now I’ve only used it for our live performance tracks and recording. This video blew my mind!!! I don’t know how to do 70% of this in pro tools. Thank you for sharing your knowledge

@@EchoSoundWorks I teach at the Waukesha Co. Conservatory of Music, one of the largest private conservatories in the US.

[@StefanoMattia]

Lots of useful tips here! The plugin related key commands and plugin folder customisation ones are going to be particularly useful in my case. I also noticed that once the plug-in selection list is open, you can easily navigate it with the keyboard, e.g. hit 'R' to open the Reverb group, then navigate the list with cursor keys and finally enter/return to load the selected plugin, it makes the plugin selection process much faster. If only there was a key command to open the plug in list on the selected track, then one wouldn't even need to move the mouse to add a new plugin to a track.

[@musymusica]

Very much appreciate your extraordinary Tips - Logic needs hundreds of hours to really get into every feature... Really thank you... My great handicap is setting every knob and fader in an external MIDI controller (Evolution UC-33 in my case) to program different track automation parameters (modulation & so on)

[@EchoSoundWorks]

You're welcome! Yeah it would be nice if apple made or allowed another developer to make something as integrated as push is with ableton

[@patrickmcnaryhayes545]

Here we answer the age old question. What happens if you reverse the audio of your reversed midi. Killer tips. Love the midi transformer esp for "compressing" midi velociti.

[@SundayVibesmusic]

You can right click the fades on your audio and speed it up or slow it down..that seems faster than going over to a menu😁

[@EchoSoundWorks]

nice one!

[@dekt9614]

Excellent video. I think one small point you sort of miss about the Freeze track functionality: namely, that it, in essence, temporarily renders the track, which frees up CPU by not running plugins etc on the fly. This used to matter a lot more in the bad old days when CPUs and drives had a harder time of keeping up.

[@reazallykhan]

Good point

[@DaMo-Studios]

I’ve been using Logic for about 10 years and learned new tricks! Simply amazing how much info is in this video. Thank you!

[@ErikAnders]

Nice tips. I’d like to add that simply turning off a track power button does not turn off the plugins. If you hold option while clicking the power off it will turn the Plugins off entirely as well as if you do so on a track Stack, it will turn off all plugins in the entire stack.

[@Tapahtumahorisontti]

I wasn't aware of the the chase MIDI feature! I'm making a lot of ambient/drone music and individual chords sometimes last very long so I'm wasting a lot of time just rewinding back to the beginning and sometimes that solution might not even work, given that some songs have interweaving rhythms where there is no clear loop with a beginning to rewind to.

[@EchoSoundWorks]

haha I feel your pain! If I ever made anything with drones and long pads I would waste a lot of time too

Thank you soooooo much ! This one has to be millions !!!

Hi, great video. Where can I download and do I add your scripter keys (key libraries like Dorian, Phrygian, other world) that you featured?

[@Bencarton1]

Brilliant video, will utilise the majority of these tips from now on!!! A question though..... in ableton when you are searching through loops while your track is playing, the loop is automatically played in time at the start of section. Why doesn’t logic do this ? is there a hidden option to enable? Or am I just a complete and utter idiot and don’t have a clue what I’m doing 😂

[@EchoSoundWorks]

Hey Ben! You're not an idiot haha. Logic doesn't do this. You know those little files that ableton makes for every audio file it plays? That what allows it do things like this. As much as I love Logic, the browser in pales in comparison to Ableton's.

[@kammanterbeats5890]

For anyone that uses multiple waves plugins in their chain studio rack by waves is a great free plugin that saves a ton of CPU!

Love the plug in manager tip. Used it to create a directory of ONLY the UAD plugins I actually own! Very nice work thank you for posting I learned a lot. You get right to the point in a simple clear way without talking all about yourself like a cheap TV personality trying to be entertaining. Too many (most) YT "tutorials" are for beginners and made by beginners. We need more advanced tips like yours. Keep 'em coming! Funny how Apple still can't accept two mouse buttons are better than one. Even in the OS we have to go in to prefs and turn the left button on.

[@nickvie71]

I was into Logic since... 4.5 or 4.7 I guess? Yes, just MIDI and Sys-Ex and all this stuff and Audio was a pain in the ass back then in the beginning. But after 12 years using worn out old equipment to make some music, I finally got me a brand new MacBook Pro with latest logic and it turns out like cultural shock to me. It sure will take a lot of time to figure out what is really helpful in my musical works but videos like yours are a great help to catch up with the present :)

MIND BLOWN! #5 will help me so much with mashups! Often the track i want to mash has the chords I need but they're in a different progression. sometimes it works, but if it's a harmonized vox, it usually doesn't. Sometimes i can move chords around and it'll be ok, but if the track is more complex then the rhythm gets thrown off. i can't wait to try this!
