Logic Pro X - Create a Reversed Ambient Piano Effect

[@beautyler4339]

There's a way easier way to reverse them. Open your region menu (near the top left of the screen) and just click the "reverse" box. Also, have all of your regions selected at once so that you only have to perform the function once. No reason to do them individually. Also, bouncing to audio doesn't have to automatically mute the original midi. You can unselect that option right before you enter the command on the bounce menu that pops up. Bam. Done. Still a great video. Love these.

[@CVDigitalpro]

Within the first 2 minutes my question was already answered, honestly thank you sir you do great work.

[@Jon77777]

Amazing tips Thankyou. Only been using logic for 2 months and this is gold

[@Pensacola2]

beautiful chord progression

[@jadenkenney5033]

Do you know what chords they are? Thanks

[@alestra85]

press [ T I ] for the SCISSORS TOOL ( [ T ] opens the TOOL menu, where you can choose every tool with [ one single letter ] for each tool, except [ SHIFT+T ] for the TEXT TOOL) [ T T ] gets you back to your (standard) POINTER TOOL - enjoy this working speed & comfort for editing :-) - in the PIANO ROLL the same, but with a slightly different set of tools, make sure that you always know, which (part of the) window is active (blue ribbon ;-) )

[@c-lao]

That drum beat sounded so badass

[@gracebasom6609]

you don't even know how long i've been looking for this. my angel

[@donniecassius]

Great choice of subject focus! This was absolutely needed.

[@user-jt5vm3mi1w]

Sounded so pretty

[@JimGramze]

Very nice effect. As a pianist I'll have to use that sometime! I would have had the same chord reversing in to itself, chopping things up differently, so that the reverb from the ramping reverse would be pitched to match the forward-played chord. So I'd be ramping in with a matched chord from the half-measure point, and at that half measure cross fading the change. I got picky about this sort of thing when I bought Adaptiverb which can adapt the tails of previous notes to match the current notes (it can kill off unwanted pitch tails). But, again, really nice job constructing this.

[@petegreenfield8366]

Just moving to Logic from Ableton Live. Your video really helped. Thanks!

[@alestra85]

@TheBlatez: press [ I ] for Inspector, or you can just mark Region/s, press [opt + R] for a floating RGN window ;-) :-D press again [opt + R] to stack it back into the INSPECTOR column.

[@thefishboyy18]

literally the most explained and helpful logic tutorials on youtube! thank you

[@sonnyjennings9035]

Yo btw you can disable the auto generated busses, in the library click the cog wheel, patch merging, deselect sends (you can also disable merging audio fx, midi fx, and even the instrument itself when you load a new instrument from the library)

[@travislee9662]

Looks like I’ve got a lot of homework to do to pull this off, but the results speak for themselves. Awesome trick thanks!

[@MicahGreaney]

You've done it again, Josh! This has helped me so much. I've been trying to find this effect forever.

[@xaviant]

Amazing video, bro. I'm very interested in the ultrabeat drums stuff in the video. Could you make a video showing how you create the beat? Keep on the good work and thanks for sharing your skills

[@CreateLogic]

This is really good!

[@StEvE1961able]

Thanks a lot. Love this channel because I aim to pick up a tip or two, and you always throw in another dozen.

[@sebmandal]

If you write the midi backwards and bounce, then reverse it in the inspector (press i) you get the best possible sounding ambient effect.

[@mehtes]

Thanks man. You're adding value to many people here. Appreciate it!

[@nicebluejay]

thanks! why not just use the reverse checkbox in the inspector?

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

+sachtjen101 Honestly... Because I had NO CLUE it was there!!! Must be something new to one of the 10.XX updates!!! Thanks!

[@nicebluejay]

+MusicTechHelpGuy ha, no problem, glad to help, i think it was the first version 10 update, 10.1, can't remember exactly. i use it all the time, it's slick

[@pikherz]

+sachtjen101 What? Where is it?

[@TheBlatez]

+George Hypotenuse and the Triangles yeah where??

[@nicebluejay]

+George Hypotenuse and the Triangles just select the audio clip you want to reverse and click the reverse checkbox in the inspector

[@hombo13]

Thanks!!! Sounds great. An all the details -fade in out... Tolle Sache, weiter so.

[@alphonsodesselle212]

sounds really good though!! Thanks for sharing this!

[@GrandeGio95]

One of the most interesting lesson on your channel. Thanks !

[@LillianWong]

This is an influential video!! Learnt a lot!! Thank you thank you!!

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

Awesome video. Why did you use the pitch shifter to detune the drums? What did that do? Curious to know because they sounded great.

[@pikherz]

If I want a software instrument plugin I usually open the ESX24 Sampler directly in the channel strip. This way I get the (e.g. Piano) Samples but not the predefined buses and audio setting. Then I do the EQ and sends after recording the part I want to record. Its faster than both of your methods and it sounds better.

[@JimGramze]

Great idea, I'm going to steal that. With pianos I have a number of 3rd-party alternatives that I prefer.

[@pikherz]

Yeah, the Logic Pianos do not sound particularly nice to me either. Now I usually plug my electric piano into my interface and record the audio instead of the midi, because it has some pretty good sounding samples in it. Do you have any alternatives you can recommend, I'm keen to try some plugins out.

[@barrybryant175]

All your videos are really helpful! Thanks!

[@sufiamigos]

you are genius!!

[@videoriatto2011]

Simple, fast and clear. Thanx !

[@ilyakorolev6272]

Thank you soooo much!!! Your explanation about "what if I don't see file and track editor" was very helpful!!!!!! Like !

[@xXGamester109Xx]

you're a monster on logic buddy, thank you for your knowledge.

[@nekroreaper6348]

Love your channel so much bro. thanks! needed this for a guitar effect i been trying to get that was called panning on my old GNX4 pedal from digitech but now well of course its not the same so i decided look up reverse and boom this was the effect i was looking for. mad love bro!

[@moipap2]

Quick shortcut: After the bounce, select all then just click on reverse under the region panel

[@mctosima]

Creative way to mix a simple piano :))) great

[@DevouredByWolves]

damn! one of your best videos!

[@TheSawzy]

I want to see what all you did to those drums! They sounded awesome, is there anyway you could make a quick 2 minute video on the setting changes?

[@jbriancraig]

Fantastic!

[@narmad6327]

Thank you very much MusicTechHelpGuy. Honestly your tutorials are the best on youtube ! :)

[@rootube7896]

The mouth noises in this my lord

[@thomasbooker5235]

Agreed, as someone with misophonia these noises really spoil the vid and as such I have to watch it in mute with subtitles :( doesn't work quite so well...

[@bahead1863]

Omg I scrolled down to see if anyone else noticed

[@timjacobs2487]

Seriously...I thought it was just me!!

[@idveira5488]

His mouth makes to much dirty noise

[@thoughtsauce7225]

First thing I noticed... Makes it incredibly hard to listen to.

[@jarkkoriihimäkimusic]

A fantastic video, very clear. Thank you!

[@embersoflight_]

Thanks for this. Will work perfect for Drum and Bass

[@nomarnurus9024]

Awesome. Gonna use this in my new track 😃

[@AlexCaspian]

Amazing video but I have FL Studio 12 and reverse any sound

[@iltionse]

Beautiful music!😍

[@glenncarr4514]

Thanks so much for this amazing, amazing series of Logic Pro X tutorials. The package is enormous and your information is so helpful! It has saved us hours of hard slog. Cheers Mate from Glenn & Dave.

[@martinlee4668]

Keep up with the good work!

[@RandyVazquez]

Help me out here, how did you make that dum beat sound distant and all of that? I've been trying to make something like that but I'm having issues :/ any help would be great! Thanks..and great video!!

[@JimGramze]

To sound distant, lower the volume and cut the highs with a lowpass filter. I have a plug-in that has a distance slider and its manual explains that is basically what it does.

[@RandyVazquez]

+James Gramze thanks! I actually figured it out a few months back. I love the sound of that distant beats!

[@JaydenLawson]

Man that was cool - thanks!

[@roudal4263]

'Like a good Logic X user.....' I lol'd so hard

[@BrandBull1]

Thanks for this short and awesome tutorial... great ... by the way... what' s the chords you are using?

[@thigasrocker]

Amazing! you really rocks man!

[@ibarneyb]

Really helpful - I can never remember how to do this !

[@crabtreewoodworks]

Sounds like the beginning of roundabout by YES. Played the tape backwards in the day.

[@Niesserdrums]

Amazing Bro! 🔥🤟🏾

[@BNJ53]

Great video man thank you!

[@s.jamesghee]

After bouncing in place, will the audio adjust if you decide to change the tempo of the song?

[@skelly787]

Hey man thanks for videos 👍🏻,How did you make that beat? Did you do it on the midi pad or is it a loop and which kit is it using?

[@MaxSleigh]

dooooope, learned some stuff here. Thanks man!

[@JARP53728]

man! you are the best!!!!

[@thesotongzzz]

Love this video!

[@jyacinthobra9285]

[@mtafton7293]

love this its super helpful

[@thislilkitchenmaid]

Oh, so THAT'S how you convert a Midi region to an audio file...I was always wondering that, so thank you very much! (I'm not very old and am terrible with tech XD) Thanks for this helpful video!!!

[@lucpomfret3364]

This was sappier helpful thank you so much!!!! :D

[@TheWinterShadow]

Nicely done bro.

[@danabakah]

Love it!

[@CassandraMac]

Extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@giapai7673]

Thanks, that really help.

[@lucassmusicofficial]

I would really love to know how you created the drum, as I have been trying all sorts of things and none of them are creating the effect I want, which is basically or very close to what you have. The beat I have is much different, but no kit or plugins can create that effect. I would love feedback!

[@skyzenskyluke5880]

Very nice tutorial 👌

[@jaybypass]

Awesome video!

[@hemantsukil3845]

Thanks Sir Its Very Helpful.....

[@DavidGilden]

[@ApexFrontier]

Subscribed. Very informative

[@kylegrossi8175]

[@disfigured75]

Can I find that drumset anywhere? Great tutorial sir!

[@JuicyLeek]

It's one of Logic Pro X's many amazing stock plugins.

[@TbnStudio]

Thank you thank you

[@mohamedbalighhamdi7238]

Love this

[@Acekorv]

I totally hate those predetermined reverbs too 👍🏻
