thank you very much

[@Carlosdamiano]

Your session looks like two soldiers chasing a 3 legged camel :p

[@jimharris6389]

many lolz, probably all of them

[@elkmancometh5986]

why is this so accurate! lol

[@beecee8347]

I see 3 At-Ats

[@CharlieTiltonDrums]

great eye

[@zt9233]

Wow.

[@TheGRider56]

You are a good teacher. Not everyone has that gift.

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thanks so much!! I'm very humbled :)

[@tonybeatbutcher]

yep, the dude is.

[@hkkendall7150]

I’m brand spankin’ new to Logic Pro X... & you are making my BRAIN HURT! Which is a GOOD THING! Man, there’s a LOT to LEARN about this stuff! Your instruction is both precise & concise! NO FLUFF! I expect to be spending some time BINGE Watching on your channel. Thanks for doing what you LOVE! I hope to be learning plenty here.

[@CaptJackAubreyOfTheRoyalNavy]

Feels good that this was all old news to me. It should be, as I've been producing long enough, but you always get that sense of doubt when you see video titles like this. So this was validating for me, thanks.

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Happy to hear Captain Jack! Also - love the KZbin handle :)

[@faithministrynotes-mas]

I haven't even gone through the first five minutes of this video and I can already discern that you're the guy I need to be tuned into...thanks for the great info and demonstration. I'm you're newest subscriber. Great tip regarding recording levels...I've always remembered from my early recording days years ago that 7 is your nominal, so hot tracks that are completely above this are definitely on their way into distortion if you don't watch/listen carefully...this has always saved me from pushing things into heavy distortion or clipping the signal. Just a rule of thumb.

[@JRHARDY]

Simple explanations with really relevant topics described with succinct clarity. Love it. Thank you! Well done. I'm a fan.

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thanks so much Jeffery! Happy to help :)

[@KevinCastleMusic]

So FREAKING HELPFUL. Thank you so much. I'm currently learning Logic Pro X as needed specifically to record my own album on my home setup (a specific goal of mine for the year) and this has saved me so much time and trouble. Thank you.

[@TheGRider56]

You learn something new every day. Thank you!!!!

[@KaneBlust]

A great refresher course to see what older techniques still work and how they have evolved. Thank you!

[@anthonystahl]

Excellent video, especially the first tip about stereo tracks.Thank you!!!!

[@garfieldadamsakaj.stemmons364]

been a Logic user since the Emagic days and while functionality obviously changes from update to update, I'd say I'm comfortable and familiar enough to figure things out as they change. but your "click zones" tip for the fade tool (also found the one for marquee when doing the search) just changed my whole life! new sub here, bud! THANK YOU!

[@roydelvallePH]

Finally got how to easily create the aux sends. Thanks! The plumbing analogy was great!

[@jaisonmathew4520]

Wow you definitely have a gift for teaching. This account needs to go viral. I just subscribed. Thank you man!

[@kademoore4258]

Ok dude. You got a sub with this one. That panning one was solid. Thank you. I thought the pans were weird but never thought to look. I feel dumb lol but now slightly smarter thanks to your info 👍👍😁

[@RuizRuiz]

Brilliant! I am new to recording and the things mentioned, especially the aux and freezing tracks are vital!! Cheers fella! Hugh

[@typhoons9736]

Great video.. well spoken and great points! Always good to go over the groundwork

[@Mistahcal808]

that was awesome. been a logic user now for almost 10 years and i've always wondered why i get system overloads... THIS HELPED!! thank you for being a lifesaver

[@kwameryan]

Wow... Thank you so much for this. I've been getting deep into logic for an orchestra project and you've explained all the cpu issues I've been having! Freeze and BIP will save me. I shed a little tear over the M1 Mac Mini I just bought to fix what was in fact a technique issue, but it'll still be great to have! Best channel I've seen for Logic Pro X. Easiest new sub ever. I appreciate your help. 👍

[@mparkerdrums]

Great vid, great talk. Straight to the point, easy to follow. Thanks.

[@prodbydramatic]

thank you so much! the way you explained the bus and send was perfect.

[@raydarvishi4805]

The phenomenon of recording hitting louder peaks after showing lower during level checking goes away once you turn off the metronome click. Somehow the metronome pushes the levels higher during recording.

[@MrCodyCalhoun]

Only been six months and the last time I clicked on this I had no idea what you were talking about so I found a different video. Came back to it and realized I utilize all of these now.

[@Dynamaso]

Holy crap, bro - while every point in this is valuable (and things I do all the time ), your explanation for busses is the best I've ever heard - I'm stealing the tap analogy and using it to explain to others. Thanks so much for these super-instructive clips. Even an old dog like me is learning new tricks (and making better tracks because of it).

[@Heartofsorrow2.0]

Thank You! I love using bus channels but did not know about the pan effects

[@nomansland5113]

These are things I was familiar with but I just know I will get a LOT of value from this channel. Suscribed

[@mariomundo76]

the stereo mono panning very helpful!

[@samuelhilllive]

Good tutorial. Quick note, when you freeze a track, the next time you open the session, Logic Pro will not load the associated plugins for the frozen tracks. It will only load the temporary bounced version. When you unfreeze the track, it will load the plugins for the track at that moment.

[@maxgamezmusic]

Super informative and helpful like always. No one does it better then my Sensei 🙏🏼 Thank you for your continuous and unconditional help Chris, “You Rule” 👏🏼

[@deazel215]

simplest explanation of how busses and sends works ever, Why to use them was even simpler. Thanks

[@JasonXBeats]

Why am I just now finding this channel? You sir have just earned a new subscriber!

[@HealthyBodyForLife]

thank you so much for this, im excited to watch your other videos! great work

[@ApexSkimmin]

Incredibly easy to follow and eye opening stuff. Professional too! I subscribed. Gonna watch all your stuff!! Thanks so much you’ve already helped me a ton

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thrilled to help Ollie! Thanks for checking out the channel :)

[@andymusic6943]

Absolutely one of the best Logic channels. Great stuff. I knew most of this but great to remind 5 things to avoid.

[@aidenjenkins9488]

I didn't know how sends and buses worked, so this was super helpful! Thanks so much.

[@wardenist]

This is the best Logic training video I have seen. I have been producing for 23 years and picked up some very bad habits. I have subscribed and will head over to your site. Thank you.

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thrilled to help Mark :)

[@fuzzy8mike]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@Pikachu-qr4yb]

That sink, pipe analogy! Genius!

[@stevestewart-sturges2159]

Handy info, well explaned, thanks!

[@The650valentino]

finally understand busses and sends now thanks to your plumbing theory! thank you so much :)

[@bassManDavis1953]

Another intuitive lesson, thank you, makes we want to explore logic thoroughly

[@johngiblin259]

Thank you for your intelligence and wisdom. You will know that the 'phenomenon' of the solo'ed musician is simply that when solo'ed, they are already outside of context.Perhaps either ask the musician to "play louder than you ever have" or soundcheck them whilst performing within the track? Many thanks for your valuable instruction.

[@stevekellar1403]

HEY CHRIS ! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS ! THEY ARE THE BEST !

[@mattjohner3392]

Excellent Video, Clear and Concise, Definitely Subscribing!

[@cizneerob]

Awesome content man, subbed and telling friends ✊🏽

[@SageDuvall]

This is very obviously an amazing resource. Great work here.

[@Michael_RareZebra]

Thank you for this! Liked & Subbed.

[@johnnymcjohn]

Great tips. Took me years to figure some of these out. This will save some peeps valuable time.

[@TheLeekyFeeder]

Super Helpful! Thanks!

[@whelafam]

I’m so guilty of not using buss. I use the same plugin on numerous channels. It just happens gradually and the next thing I notice the repetitive plugins. Thanks Chris for the reminders and again on the panning.

[@AlexFarleyMusic]

Great video. I'm subscribing for sure!

[@BradRoseboroughMusic]

Great video! Thanks for the tips. I've been guilty of a couple of these...

[@LunaticTheCat]

Hell ya! I'm already doing all the things you suggest in this video! Feels good haha

[@jazzguitarwithandy]

Very helpful video and great to see the word flub being used.

[@haroldboodoo2788]

Good tutoring, learned a lot. Thanks.

[@fergadelics]

A few things to mention: Logic has a setting to snap edits to zero crossings in the snap dropdown, I wish it was on by default. This prevents the pop by starting regions when they are at zero on the wave signal. But the fade does show some tlc ;) Also, regarding freezing tracks (essential) there is the pre fader mode in the inspector which only freezes the source and lets you continue to try out your effects. Good job! I just wanted to point out additions to what you were presenting. It’s such a great DAW. Thanks!

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thanks so much for pointing those out Jason! Fantastic options for making life easier (and sonically better) :)

[@Chhenu]

Hi. Very informative and easy to understand tutorials. I liked and subscribed your channel. Thanks.

[@AKSourGod]

Thank You, most of these tips, i was aware of, but the explanations for each one is dope. 💯💯

[@hkkendall7150]

Glad to find your channel!

[@josephrogers9796]

I am new to Logic Pro 10. I was a previous Pro Tools user for Four years. When I was a student learning Pro tools the software was inexpensive. No longer a student the price went up significantly. I record music as a hobby and have Apple Mac mini, which I love. I am currently using the free trial version For 90 days. I only had Logic Pro X for a few days and I am totally sold? The virtual instruments are so close to the real sound. I will be a avid subscriber from now on.

[@grantedbeats7871]

yo the pan trick was amazing I can't believe I didn't know that

[@unhookedunhooked3219]

Very useful stuff. Cheers

[@summitfunny]

Great tutorial! Thank you

[@NickPitmanUK]

Thank you - years have passed and I was still guilty. So clear and friendly.

[@christopherecatalano]

Great info! Thank you...

[@CliffMcAulay]

Great video. Thank you.

[@jimmyw2802]

reason for the people playing way louder than soundcheck: they want to hear the acoustic sound of the drums/guitars/etc. some of my clients talk really loudly when they put headphones on when checking my mixes...sometimes that can scare me a little bit hahah

[@maxxleonard9399]

Hahaha 😂

[@MJCGuitar]

Thank you again for such critical advice. Keep up your great work!

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thanks so much MarkGTR!

[@reff9289]

awesome Sir... great intel, newbie too Logic so mucho helpful-o!

[@federicocalussi5305]

Very useful video. Thanks for that.

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Thanks for checking out the channel midiland!

[@dylanhope7450]

Anyone else just wanted him to press play?

[@oeunouch]

FUCK!! NO DOUBT!!

[@Galguera]

Amazing content!, very informative. I have a question... i have noticed when i’m working on big sessions that the “freeze” function actually consumes more CPU than bouncing everything in place. Do you know why this happen?. It is supposed to be kinda same right?

[@dustinrichardson3045]

You’re an excellent speaker. I don’t think you stumbled your words even once. Valid topics as well. One pet peeve of my own is keeping your project files clean and organized. This includes properly labeling and color coordinating your tracks and regions. Utilizing track stacks is also crucial. Achieve all of this without losing any time by creating templates, as well.

[@shureflow]

good vocal editing

[@izzy4el]

Excellent tutorial!

[@jaycole1900]

I know this is an old video but could u make a ELI5 tutorial on Send/Bus please? Your explanation was pretty clear but would be great to show the process and all. Thanks

[@fercomposer]

Very good short video! I make most of those mistakes... Thank you

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Happy to help!

[@willdudley4644]

Question! When you are panning a track with stereo effects, does the same rule apply? Or only when that track is itself stereo? Thanks, great pointers!

[@majorlycunningham5439]

💯 All good stuff!!

[@drewschempf944]

Great videos trying to catch up

[@avaldezr]

great job Lars!!

[@DrumsWithJames]

2:06 "Mono means One, Rail means Rail" I'm sure I'm not the only person who thought of that!

Thank you it was really helpful

[@WhyLogicProRules]

Happy to help Fravashi! Thanks for checking out the channel.

[@macmania9410]

Thanks for the brilliant videos ... sometime as logic user for over 10 years i feel that getting so many advanced features actually takes your concentration away from composition and arrangement ... however some of them are very useful as well .. i just have one question .. i have problems with low end mostly the bass frequencies .. i feel they are mostly disturbing my mixes ..in logic if you insert a eq on the master channel and turn on smart control you get the eq knobs one of them says cut low frequency and i usually keep this upto 40 - 45db and it works amazing .. i want to know is there any way to make sure the low frequencies are perfect "? Apart from your ears and reference track is there any tool to make sure the low frequencies are good ? Thanks a lot
