Chord Trick Logic Pro X Using MIDI FX Plugins

[@JakeMasca]

The website is down / seems to have been discontinued. Johann Holz was kind enough to share his DMG file of the plugin for all of you to download. Link: drive.google.com/file/d/1Glsl3W-12i3WmcHaUW4VjV7DWXeKx9mZ/view?usp=sharing

[@dedidude220]

wohooo!! love you man!

[@NiTumanov]

i cant access the file(((

[@ChilledP]

@@NiTumanov Use chrome, it didn't work with safari for me first time around

[@JakeMasca]

@@ChilledP link should be working

[@SH93_]

God bless you!

[@bachuusmusicstudios5511]

Now this was a little Diamond to find ...very nice man ..allready in love with that little trick and plugin ....Thanks a bunch ...

[@premiumaccounts5694]

This video is critical. I watched so many tutorials where the people just play flawless keys - and i try to recreate it with no luck. My chords / midi's FINALLY feel more full and cohesive. Thank you so much. subbed and liked. I'll check for more of your videos. You are a life and time saver

[@Gundrs]

There are workarounds for this in Logic. You can record midiFX to a separate track by using the midi environment window (cmd+0) and connecting the track with fx to a midi monitor module. It seems a bit inconvenient at first, but it’s actually pretty easy. There are KZbin tutorials for it. Just search for “How to record midi FX in Logic” You can also use the Logic remote app as a keyboard and trigger chords just like GarageBand for iOS.

[@dez5]

It's great to see you giving credit to Stefan, that's very thoughtful and considerate. Big up every time.

[@pinedrummer]

Your videos are the BEST, you leave all the mind noise aside (sudden pauses, unnecessary director cut voiceover). Straight to the point, no bs. Subscribed, can't wait for the next one.

[@RL-im3sx]

I cant thank you enough for sharing this tip, I'm gonna definitely keep you on my radar, and you're a legend for giving props to Stefan instead of hogging all the glory for yourself, I have no doubt that your humility will serve you well ...GOD bless you Sir.

[@remyjune4518]

To this is huge. As a new producer with minimal music theory knowledge this helps so much

[@CMane]

This is dope! Honestly... I’ve been using Logic since 2015-16 & JUST found out about chord trigger like a week ago. 😂 You just gave me something else to experiment with....🤔. Thanks! 💯🔥

[@jimc1499]

part way thru i thought nah, but then when you dragged the midi i was like 🤯 Thank you for this, this is great!

[@bnjmnchapman]

Man this is fantastic. Music theory has never been my strong hold so have some that can help at my finger tips is awesome. Thank you both.

[@JakeMasca]

Glad it helped Benjamin. Music Theory was difficult for me to grasp. Still is up to this day

[@stintza]

Thank you for cutting straight to the point. Your way of teaching is appreciated.

[@joeanderson1307]

wow! just happened to find this video right after i just watched ur one from reddit. cool to see you've been putting out good content, subbed

[@joeanderson1307]

i do see that that google drive link is now down it appears :(

[@Jamminn555]

Another really useful video, Jake. You're killing me with these new features in Logic - I thought I knew Logic pretty well but apparently not! LOL. Thanks very much for posting. Cheers.

[@taeefnajib]

You have a good soul! May God bless you, my friend.

[@brendanmattson]

Great video. I'm surprised Logic doesn't have a way to freeze or print the output of the midi effects to the piano roll. In REAPER you basically set a track input to be the output of the midi plugin.

[@francissreckofabian01]

Stefan Guy's channel is highly recommended. Lots of good tips & tutorials.

[@JakeMasca]

Agreed. He's a brilliant educator and musician.

[@NepMelomusic]

Man Lots of Love 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@_Mach3]

Im clapping my hands at my computer screen right now

[@nightsidebeats4719]

Lmao no bs

[@juicybacon12]

Fucking amazing man. Incredible how I can have logic for so long and watch so many tutorials and not know this until now n

[@Snailbyte]

Wow great tip! I never really use the chord trigger cuz I can’t adjust the notes afterwards and it’s really cpu heavy on multiple tracks, but this amazing thank you

[@JakeMasca]

Have you increased your buffer rate? And thanks smiley

[@BradenB23]

This is dope as hell. This can speed up the process quite a bit when you're new/just learning music theory.

[@jbomb111111]

You’re hands down the most helpful youtuber out here

[@samayyatri]

It's a Great Inspirational music tutorial. 🙏 But i can't find the link now. Because I am seeing this video when it's been 5 years old.

[@elboogie2324]

This is an awesome use of these plugins to help spark creativity.

[@JakeMasca]

For anyone who's having problems because the developer isn't "trusted", this is a setting that you can bypass in the system settings. System Preferences > Security and Privacy When you download the plugin, the security and privacy section will provide you with instructions for what to do. Allow access to download the plugin. Also, I appreciate the positive feedback. Things are a bit rough for me at the moment. Thank you

[@prassyprasan]

Thanks :-)

[@CentaurusRelax314]

Or, OPTION+Click, open with Installer. It will then give you the option to Okay it as Trusted.

[@Shrbrt]

Jake Masca it’s funny because my name is Stefan and I’m a guy, but I’m not Stefan guy

[@CRASS2047]

I’ve been using transposer first , then chord trigger. Seems to work fine. I’ll try it this way

[@DeafCollective_Bits]

thanks for all the work trough all this years!!

[@chadcharly2]

it would be awesome if the DMG file was up again :), the link to download it is down now

[@deelotube]

Your videos are awesome man!! Please keep up the good work!

[@tonycarpenter-Makzimia]

One of THE best tips I have ever seen!. I'm actually quite a competent keyboardist, but, I know jack about theory, I just find the right stuff normally, I am hoping this will fix my upcoming workflow, A LOT!. Subbed!.

[@mewtwo6662]

always coming with inspirational videos

[@JamesStMichael]

Bro you saved me from buying Reason just for the Players feature. THANKYOU!!! so much!!! $400 saved!!!

[@chriscaspian1654]

dito !

[@papadoc4775]

the praise you are getting is so funny but deserving. Thanks for the tip

[@reverierecords7180]

This is better than most of the tutorials on chord progression. 👍👍

[@aschmuas]

Still a beginner and attempting to learn some theory, this is an awesome tool, thanks for putting together the video.

[@JakeMasca]

Adam S thanks for stopping by Adam. Having a beginner mindset will take you far. If you’re attempting to learn some theory, may I suggest taking a look at Michael New’s stuff on KZbin and the circle of fifths. Good luck!

[@rite1k]

You just stepped my game up in logic. This was the best help ever

[@zaferfanari9320]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us!! Wish you all the best!

[@thereysupremo]

bro do you have new link to download the plugin? those doesn't work anymore :/

[@onealpanton240]

Thank you sooo much I really appreciate that, I’m a beginner so this is an eye opener for me 🙏🏿

[@JesperHellvik]

Nice one Jake. I use this trick occasionally but I never saved it as a Channel Strip Setting so thanks for reminding me to do that 🙏🏼😊

[@JakeMasca]

Channel Strip Settings FTW! And thank you Jesper

[@mrfaggin]

You’re a REAL 1!! I LOVE HOW YOU GAVE HOMAGE TO “STEPHEN GUY “ REAL!

[@tangledyoghurt]

This was exactly what I needed!! Ohhhh my life just got so so sooo much easier!!! Thank you!

[@JakeMasca]

Glad it helped!

[@JoonhwanLee]

Though i knew audiocr plugin, but haven't thghout about to use transepose plugin to control scale. Thanks nice tip

[@FloorStylez]

Awesome tips on your channel Jake! Many thanks for this! All workflow inhibitors slowly vanishing!

[@isamabravo]

thanks good video. a question: if the chord or arp are made with the presets of a keyboard, for example NI Komplete Kontrol, how could it be? I can do it? I've tried it with some ways and I do not get it, any ideas?

[@ChivasKimber]

This is awesome bro. Cheers

[@Varidime]

Just finding this now. Does anybody know if there's a better solution (directly in Logic) or is this still the best option?

[@ProdYouce]

Great ! Thx u so much

[@Koachise]

This was a great video. i appreciate you and the gentlemen for making the video .

[@DeanRavenMusic]

Do you have a link to the original stefan guy video?

[@jadesiress3382]

This video content is excellent! Thank you!!!🙏🏾💯

[@MappingSubber]

appreciate the tips to help keep us creating with ease

[@Benjaminstorset]

great vid my man

[@doug941]

Thanks Jake! Great tip....cool plugin....you rock dude!

[@Djtonydraper]

Wow. This is awesome. Thanks so much for posting/sharing.

[@SethHarcrowmusic]

Oh and cool trick... after you made the midi file with midi freeze, if you drag that midi file back on the track with the midi FX and you'll get some nice jazzy chords :0

[@redthebetta]

Dude! This is the coolest tip ever! Thanks!

[@JakeMasca]

Awesome =) happy it helped

[@unlockyoursound]

Excellent work, Jake!

[@rite1k]

Thanks bro. This is a game changer for me for sure

[@servHis221]

I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ABILITY!!!!

[@dannynakarah14]

Thank u for this bro but the problem is that when I downloaded the MIDI FX PLUGINS, it not opening in Logic. Please let me know how to download it properly.

[@zoefboy]

Hey man, I'd really like to use this plugin. Got flowing creativity thanks to you. But, the plugin links are unavailable. Is there any way I can still get it? Kind regards.

[@bosssales9448]

bro midi notes in software instrument track gets added in audio track while voice recording how to solve bro

[@Cooklyn1981]

I’m still getting nothing but major triads. Ordered the plug-ins properly. Please advise.

[@djgsmallztv]

great vid I like how simple u explain things

[@marpymellow3805]

Fantastically helpful, many thanks!

[@jeffmarc1846]

TLDR but watched the video in full. Question: Does your creation work independently, in any way? IMPORTANT: For those who are not fluent in theory, I don’t believe this video does justice in helping one realize the full value of this Incredible job. Being pretty good at theory, I’m seeking other ways this might used. My hat is off to you, sir - really good job, mate

[@dwaynespicer8228]

Thank you!! This is wonderful!!

[@3STEEZ]

I couldn't find the "user channel strip settings" when I opened a new instrument. It didn't just pop up above "Bass, Drum Kit" in that library list to the left

[@muffevans5667]

[@joshuamshelton]

I just bought in in the App Store but there is no where to download. Any ideas?

[@deantsanga1121]

Thank you for the tip bro. Much appreciated

[@jondematt]

great video! helped me out a lot

[@Mrlloydvideos]

best tutorial i've ever seen !

[@thomascorneillekouadio3085]

Thank you very much . It helps a lot . appreciated

[@Nassoud60]

Thanks for sharing amazing work

[@THISIZHIMTHISIZME]

For H.I.M thank you very much stefon guy whoever's you are

[@peekpen]

everything worked on up to the point where MIDI FX freeze reproduction was scrambled and not the same sounding chords as the original. If MIDI FX freeze was more stable it may come in handy for divining midi notes that may not import well into Logic from Android..such as Chord Bot. In Chord Bot I had some issues about not getting the same programmed production from the CB app designers when I imported a MIDI file from the app. It was close but with all of the Steve LAceys out there I wanted to capture exactly what I heard through my earbuds... but now I think I will pay for something like Captain Chords 2.0. Ah well!

[@johnviera3884]

anyone have the file to share? it’s gone now. 😢

[@Mrlloydvideos]

it's not working very well sometimes it's the same chord sound but not the sames notes and it could has distortion sadly :/

[@mankismelbournejay]

Super helpful, many thanks!

[@SirMalikCobra]

Thanks... Does this have to be on the internal drive? I put it on the external and the initial set up and I don't see it from with in Logic.

[@Marlorouse109]

Thanks so much for sharing !

[@ku______]

really appreciate this man thanks!

[@DRED252]

that's awesome thank you so much

[@bangagurl]

Does anyone know why Midi Freeze keeps changing my tempo when I try to extract the Midi notes? It also changes chords when I extract. Any suggestions?

[@Varidime]

Does it do it in only one session or multiple. (I have no experience with the plugin, I’m just offering troubleshooting advise)

[@bangagurl]

Varidime I realize there must be glitch with my logic or something but when you extract the midi you have to add on its own track...figured it out thanks!

[@Varidime]

Good to know. Thanks!

[@Runaverse]

Thank you 😭😭😭

[@s-estii2754]

jake masca where can i get this plug in ? the website is down ,can you please share it some how?

I'm glad it helped

[@ergnoor3551]

Tonight i will pray for you.

[@kojosankofa8324]

Realest comment fr!!!

[@dannya9808]

Hey Jake, I was wondering if you could do a tutorial on how to transfer Logic Pro X on a external hard drive because most videos on this topic aren't helpful. Thanks.

[@JakeMasca]

Danny Aliraqi i wouldnt put logic pro x on an external hard drive because if you update, you may get duplicate file issues. How much space do you have left?

[@raheshlr]

I did do that and it saves a lot of juice being sucked by the processor, just copy the instrument library (Logic) and apple loops to the external drive and make use of the symlinker app to connect it to the original directory..

[@ouddahere8766]

Hey when I extract a file from the fx freeze plugin it sounds a little crappy, must be doing something wrong

[@trashijaci]

ohh this is what you were talking about to me ages agoooo okayyyyy ima try this

[@murjangaas7389]

Genius man Thank you!!!
