5 Logic Pro X Tricks You Probably Didn't Know About (Part 3)

[@dodg1677]

I've watched all three of these now and they're about the most useful Logic Pro X help I've gotten so far. I'm spending time on KZbin tutorials and Lynda.com and that's all good. But now that I've started to use Logic for recording these tips have really helped a lot to move things along. Really good work here. Thanks

[@stefanguy]

+Ken Dodge hey Ken thanks so much for this comment! Glad i've been able to help! Would it be ok for me to possibly use this as a testimonial on my website?

[@MacTheMacable]

That Harpeggiator was sounding amazing!

[@stefanguy]

+Joshua Parkinson agreed!!!

[@ZacharyStrine]

Stefan - literally every beat or track I make I manually separate my drums for EQ/Mixing once I’m happy with the arrangement. That separate by note tip will be a HUGE lifesaver!

[@stefanguy]

Glad I could help bro! I was in your exact same shoes!

[@canman7773]

Oh my god I've been separating my drum tracks manually this entire time. Thank you so much for showing me that tip

[@stefanguy]

Hahaha I was doing it for a long time too! You're welcome man!

[@botany500kojak]

I tried the method in the video and found it a PITA when I wanted to add effects. I ended up reverting to individual tracks again so I could put effects on them without all of them having the effects.And pressing solo and mute was nauseating. Just one would do them all. When you have over 10 other channels it gets muddled.

[@AJStudios18]

Thanks so much for the separate by pitch tip, gonna save me so much tiem

[@stefanguy]

+adam south you're welcome bro!

[@franzleone]

You taught me what I've been searching for years. Great teacher, so useful, thanks!!!

[@stefanguy]

Love this! Glad I could help bro and thanks for the great feedback. Much appreciated!

[@Hassy]

Never stop learning, thanks Stefan! KEEP EM COMIN'!

[@djgsmallztv]

Youre 1 of Top teachers on KZbin as u probably already know haha , I've had a fear about learning for many years but after learning from people such as yourself I've found that learning can be easy when explained in the way that I understand most, thanks

[@stefanguy]

Hey man, thank you for the kind words, much love and respect man 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@Harmonical1]

You can always tell when someone REALLY knows their stuff - cos you can really understand it! Great.

[@stefanguy]

Much love man!

[@llynxmtl]

awesome video, the harp caught me by surprise

[@francissreckofabian01]

I've seen 'separate by note pitch' but I didn't know what it was for. It is REALLY, REALLY useful. Like you, I was put off by the Scripter. I had no idea there were presets. Probably one of the most useful LPX videos I've seen. Thanks again, Stefan.

[@stefanguy]

Yo Francis, how's it going bro? Ah man glad you found the video useful brother!! Thanks man.

[@francissreckofabian01]

Hi Stefan, I'm good, thanks. Yes, really useful. I'm going to try them out today.

[@stefanguy]

Glad to hear bro!

[@FilliD1]

Was looking for that skip function as I used to use it in Logic 9. You used to just swipe in the reverse when setting the looping. Nice to have it back.

[@stefanguy]

Ah yes you're right! I totally forgot that that was the way to do it in Logic 9.

[@jonathanf.3759]

Stefan Guy - God Bless you for disclosing your knowledge!! It has helped me tremendously!! You are a blessing!

[@kevinrichrdson]

Thankyou Stefan! You are an awesome teacher!

I am more familiar with working with Gargareband. I am looking up all the videos I can to further my knowledge. So thankyou for making it fun and easy to pick it up faster!!Keep making these videos.The Harpeggiator is amazing!

[@stefanguy]

+Robert Michael hahaha thanks Robert! Great decision you've made to start learning to make your own!

[@js2240]

love the vid, especially tip 4, I've been separating the midi notes for my drums the long way fro ages!! but now you've saved me a hell amount of time! =D

[@billmassage]

I've watched all three of these as well.Very helpful.Thanks Stefan.

[@phfraiengngchkxzcs1]

Hi Stefan, great videos thanks. i just moved over to Logic after many years in PT and really appreciate these kinds of videos. I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it below, but the 'Even Tracks' function you mentioned is called "Individual Track Zoom Reset for All Tracks" by Logic. The key command is Control-shift-option-command-delete. very handy for sure.

[@stefanguy]

Hey Ryan thanks man and you're welcome. Ahh man Ryan thanks for the function name and shortcut man! I'm definitely going to use that from now on!

[@djemmz2580]

Thank you so much these tutorials are just great the depth and time you take mate is well appreciated

[@stefanguy]

Hey DJ EMMZ you’re man, thanks for taking the time to drop a comment! Much love! 🙏🏾

[@teren-s3p]

[@stefanguy]

Thanks brother!

[@JacoF17]

Hey Jacopo! You're welcome man!

[@Lambdrone]

Yesssss, thank you. I am going to try what you showed in scripter asap.

[@stefanguy]

You’re welcome and yes do, it’s dope!

[@doziermuzic]

Oh wow, you just saved me precious time. Thank you. Now I have to go back to pt1 and prt2

[@stefanguy]

Haha glad I could help!!

[@KIIGE]

Thanks for the tips Stefan, always helpful.

[@stefanguy]

You're welcome Patrick and thanks!

[@Tony_A_441]

I've learned about separating each out pitch a few months, super handy when I'm trying to track out my music to get mixed. The only thing I don't like about is that I can't seem to play each track by itself.

[@stefanguy]

+Tony A. Ah yes i feel you, I mainly use multioutput set ups now and export by channel as oppose to track if that makes sense. That way i can solo things etc.

[@Tony_A_441]

Stefan Guy oh ok nice, I'm going to have to try that then.

[@tiffanyonwudinanti]

You never fail to amaze. Thank you for being such an amazing educator

[@stefanguy]

Hey Tiffany! Ah thank you, means a lot!

[@_M_A_Z]

Bro really thank you ! but how i get that theme of your interface look so nice !!!

[@stefanguy]

Hey Miguel you're welcome :). The theme is part of the Logic Pro 10.3 update. They said many people wanted a lighter theme so this is what they gave us.

[@martinheath5947]

I'm regularly amazed how many people use the mouse instead of learning some handy keyboard shortcuts: C Cycle on/off I Show/Hide Inspector T Show/Hide Tools Menu X Show/Hide Mixer V Show/Hide all Plugin Windows B Show/Hide Smart Controls N Show/Hide Score Editor P Show/Hide Piano Roll O Show/Hide Loop Browser Y Show/Hide Library W Show/Hide Audio File Editor K Metronome on/off Good series Thanks!

[@shanice-rochelle.j5897]

that scripter tool.... ayyyyyy!!! 💯

[@stefanguy]

hahaha 🙌🏾

[@shanice-rochelle.j5897]

Stefan. what if 'midi fx' is not there?? for example on the 808, the option is not there. but on 'dynamic string ensemble' it is there...??? is it something i have to do, or is it just not able to ''show up''

[@MRSTU1210]

script editor looks like fun cheers man peace.

[@MST27KRK75]

DAAAMMMMMMMN! Nice tricks🔥🔥

[@displayname8848]

Great Video. I've been trying to find a function like "inverted cycle" for a while. How do you figure out these things? Do you just read the manual front to back? This can't be the last one, you gotta have some more! lol

[@stefanguy]

Hey man thanks! Hahaha you know what, some days I just open Logic and attempt to find something new. I check out short cuts and I'm always striving to do things quicker when working on sessions.

[@a-rod8763]

[@aintnosunshinewhenshesgone7938]

Hi Stefan !! Love your videos I learn a lot from you, please keep this up! Many blessings and great job-keep doing what you do(: I am just starting to produce my own beats and have an akai mpc professional, an m-audio keyboard an akai mpk25 and an lpk25 laptop keyboard...I am trying to figure out how to make my workflow smoother. Is there a way I can possibly connect all my hardware under one software and if so how so?? I am trying to produce on mac software right now just can't figure out how to connect my keyboards to this software as well... I would like to learn my mpc before I start playing with my mpk25 if you could possibly give me any guidance in this will greatly appreciate Stefan!!(: Also, I am on mac and have logic.... when it comes to logic and I connect my mac it makes it so much more confusing for me because I don't know how to add sounds to the pads on hardware mac and make everything flow nicely. I am barely learning mpc software.. and beat production as a whole. Thanks in advance! Have a great day..greetings from the usa!

[@BryanButler]

Love your videos, I have been an avid watcher for a long time now. I appreciate the way you break things down. What is the best use of an external hard drive? I bought a 4TB to be able to save my iMac from getting too overloaded. How would you recommend I use this external HD to help logic run better while lower the impact on my internal hard drive? Thank you for your advise in advance.

[@stefanguy]

+Bryan Butler hey Bryan, firstly thanks man!!! 4TB wow that’s a beast! In a nutshell, backup, archiving and storing samples. The latter two regarding helping Logic run better. Archiving to store finished projects (although i’d recommend storing them in the cloud too) and running your samples off of your external both to free up space. More space the better a computer runs. Logic also runs better with samples coming straight off a HD too. Most sample libraries will allow you to choose to put your samples on an external HD. But Logic doesn’t. But you can do it by following this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIu8eZ6QjsSZotk

[@BryanButler]

I will check out the video. I really appreciate the reply and the assistance. Keep up the great work man. Glad to support a small business. I will look at buying the chord progression midi next payday.

[@stefanguy]

+Bryan Butler appreciate that bro means a lot man!!!

[@ChristopherAndTheLostBinoculer]

Thanks bro!

[@pwoyus]

Hey Stefan Thanks so much for those tips, especially for separating drum tracks. Always wanted to do that. I’m still kind a new at this and I use logic like you. Please help me understand what a region is, is it a full track or is it segments of your song? Phil
