MY MIND IS BLOWN! I seriously want to thank Professor Jono Buchanan and the Guildhall Schools Electronic Music Department for their efforts to help others via youtube, for people like me who cant afford more education but want to learn. You could have chose to charge for this seminar, but chose not to. I wish I had known these simple tools years ago. I have been doing things the hard way for so long, unnecessarily creating an overwhelming workload. Which at times makes me procrastinate finishing projects. Not only was it extensively informative, but this video and presentation were produced with outstanding professional quality. The audio and visual kept me on the edge of my seat until the end. I couldn't stop rewinding so I could take notes and get screenshots. A+ work IMO. I will share this video to others in the future.

[@xaosnox]

Agreed! I think it's wonderful that people share their expertise. There is enough money being made in the industry that it can afford to water a few seeds. It kind of makes me sick that guys like Chris Lord Alge won't do anything that doesn't put money in their pockets, and they'll happily put their names on a bunch of plugins that they would never even use just to line their already fat pockets. The "industry" has pretty much killed music. IME, the most talented people came from very modest means. If I went to audition a band and saw a giant drum cage and a guitar player with a full stack and a half in their practice room, it was a pretty good chance they were a band with whom I wouldn't want to sing.

[@MrUpperBody]

Yeah dude, this makes everything so much less daunting. And I, like you, have been doing everything the hard way for soooo long!

[@marcusbrown7817]

I absolutely agree

[@DazSheepy]

Anyone new to Logic Pro x or just starting out, I highly recommend watching parts 1 & 2. I learned so much from them, my producing skills increased massively with in days. Many Thanks!!

when working with brush tool in the edit mode, you can hold Shift Button so as you drag without changing note

[@adamleeson3483]

Thanks for the tip !

[@MrNouvelage]

holding the shift key actually changes velocity on notes

[@LoganFreund]

I use Logic every day, and while I don't nearly consider myself a pro, I know my way around it pretty well. That being said, there have always been parts of Logic that I've just pretended don't exist, so I don't have to figure them out! This is incredibly useful for anyone looking to hone their Logic prowess or just realize they've been doing things the hard way for years. This is seriously good stuff.

[@NaturalGallantBodybuilding]

AGREED! I make my own music for my channel and this really helped!

[@thekeysman6760]

+Logan Freund Surely one is considered a 'pro' if it is your paid 'pro'fession, i.e. how you make a living.

[@LoganFreund]

thekeysman I'm not sure what you intended to add to my comment by posting this, but yeah that's pretty much the definition of "pro." Haha

[@thekeysman6760]

Well, because you say "I don't nearly consider myself a pro". You are if it's your job. And I know many pros who get by without knowing all that Logic has to offer. So, by definition, you are either a pro or not. :-)

[@zerox020]

Damn I’m the same, to the point I’m scared to watch this video ahaha

[@georgewotigbah8528]

I liked Tom's little drum skip at the beginning, it didn't sound like a mistake. I've learned so much from watching this, time well spent, thank you.

[@DanielPolanco]

Tom would agree - he never makes a mistake.

[@RodStewart_Geek]

Just a small MacGuffin for the instructor to use.

[@erikradbo]

Yea no way that was a mistake. Kept his face straight though.

[@futureboyband2094]

it was probably just to show you that you can fix mistakes

[@RodStewart_Geek]

Future Boyband very much so. I don’t know why everyone is acting like the instructor and drummer didn’t coordinate this before hand. It was an “accident on purpose”.

[@therubbscreative]

This has to be one of the most valuable Logic Pro X tutoriales all over the internet. Thanks a lot.

[@Almay-ox8hr]

May be one of the better course for Logic in KZbin. J. Buchanan is very didactic and efficient. He wastes no time explaining what he wants to show us.

[@segaismyname]

never heard compression defined so well. Thank you Jono

[@denc9949]

The best thing is the brilliant way that compressors are demonstrated here. Simple and effective. Great video. Thanks

[@RusstafaB]

Totally brilliant presentation by Professor John Buchanan. My Mum won a scholarship to the Guildhall school of music and studied there with (Sir) George Martin back in the 1940's. Great channel and know my Mum would have enjoyed this if she were still alive.

[@trevorthet5]

I’ve dabbled with Logic Pro on and off over many years but this video has been so useful. If only I had watched this years ago. I’ve learned loads, thank you!

[@Dkeys88]

When I started using Logic Pro X, I PAID good $$$ for courses that weren't as well presented and as thorough as this is. What an amazing job he has done. What a great gift to the community of musicians and producers that are learning their craft. I found tips and techniques in this seminar that are useful even to advanced users.

[@batsumoto]

I've been watching several hours worth of DAW tutorials and guides. After seeing this, I immediately was able to decide which DAW I'm going to use. Logic is the one that stands out above them all.

[@yeoldfart8762]

Thank for making this lecture public. That was much better explained that any videos I’ve looked through.

[@BryanButler]

This is super well done. 4 years into working with logic and I was able to get some great takeaways from this. The midi paint with collapse mode? Where have you been my whole life.

I have been looking for such a tutorial for almost a year. What a way have put Logic Pro work so simple. You re truly a genius. Pls upload more videos. Thanks a ton!

[@tecnoline57]

WELL DONE!!!!!! Great teacher and musicians !!! You have shown that you can work very well with LOGIC PRO X without adding PLUG INs from other companies. I think that LOGIC PRO already offers everything you need but you have to learn how to use it as you have taught. If the BEATLES and ROLLING STONES had had LOGIC PRO 25 years ago they would have thanked !!!!! We are all looking forward to other TUTORIALS to investigate other aspects as well. A thousand thanks!!!!!

in fact, this is the best tutorial of any out there.

[@GilKeys88]

Excellent presentation. Really surprised that Part 2 has a million fewer views. Both parts are really good. I've been using eMagic (Logic) since it was on an Atari, and found new tricks and work flows. Thank you.

[@ytbit]

This video (together with part 2) was a *fantastic* kickstarter. I'm new to Logic (but somewhat familiar with analog mixers for recording and live sound) but after first watching this, and then playing with the software for only half a day, I really feel that I'm on top of things. Much quicker than expected. Thank you very much.

[@FrancisMaxino]

I can see how I definitely need to upgrade to Logic Pro X. Garageband has certain limitations that though in my earlier DAW I had augmented and increased to make it almost like Logic Pro I don't seem to be able to expand and use instruments I had like the EXS24 that I could use in my old suped up Garageband with it's extra virtual instrument library. Compression was hardly necessary on reel to reel tape because clipping didn't break up the signal as severely as digital and the recording was sort of compressed a bit, back in the day we mainly used it for Bass and Drums and low frequency sounds that explode into the mix. Another way of approaching the less severely squashed compression you've got on the drums is to reduce the threshold level. Good point about the input gain on the microphones, on old desks we had a function called pfl or 'pre-fade listen' to get recording levels right.

[@michaelmichael1450]

Amazing and throughout tutorial! The guy is clearly motivated, explains the most important things, leaves out the (at that point) unnecessary explanations and made it clear to understand even for Logic Pro X and recording newcomers. The best introduction to this fantastic software suite and musical production I have ever seen. And he managed to put it into a nutshell! Thanks

[@DevonMeyersMusik]

Idk if that drum swing in the beginning was necessarily an error .. I enjoyed it
