I'm on video #4 and, yes, I plan to watch all 52. It's like getting a Masters Degree for FREE! These videos on Logic Pro X are so clear, concise and well done it's just a joy to watch them. Thank you so much, MusicTechHelpGuy! Your karmic brownie points are just stacking up right and left.

[@pepstur]

I know what you mean about the masters degree. I've had my youtube watching count go up to 10,000, set back to zero and up to 10,000 again. Sometimes it counts backwards. But the information I've got are the truth about history, society, real physics, and more subjects from every high level University around the world. I took a simple test for my needs in physically doing things like bathing, grocery shopping, etc. They told me, and I talked to the head guy at the agency, that I was the only person who has ever scored a 100% on these tests. And because I was “smart, real smart, too smart,” that I don't need their help.... What? Where does this fit in society? We're mirrored lives in many ways. Minus you not being twisted like a corkscrew....I hope to meet you. Peppi

[@bahbhudson1068]

I'm sure we will meet at some point, Peppi. At a Wizards confab. :)

[@donwan4u]

I think i must start watching. :)

[@dylancrocker8765]

Wow. I can't express how grateful I am for these videos. I've only made it to this episode and I've learned so much already. THANKS SO MUCH!!

[@patrickkoop6927]

just saying thanks years later...going through this series to try to improve my understanding and proficiency of a software ive already been using for a year! learning new things each video

[@Tolbiny]

Your Logic Pro X videos are far better than the commercial tutorials available online. Thank you once again.

[@Sven-mh3lw]

Just getting back into music after a long time, and upgrading from Logic 8 to X. Your tutorials are a massive welcome. Very extensive, comprehensible, polished and you're very good at transferring your knowledge. I cant believe this stuff is free. Thanks so much!

[@yansich9627]

At last something scientifical and professional, after having bought so many unscientifics courses from people playing around quickly with DAW features without any explanations, I, at last, find a course which fulfills my hope and needs for understanding... Bravo !!!

[@kingminotaur4693]

You've got a green aura. It means like helping people, and you do. Much thanks bro.

[@jayseb]

What a great channel. Impossible not to understand what you’re showing us. I was hesitant to move from GarageBand to Logic Pro, but you make it so easy. Thank you for this and all the rest. Gratitude all over the place!!!

[@RooK174]

just wanted to say thank you for the autopunch in and out enlightenment. that eased it up for me a LOT!

[@jamesmccall4407]

These are the best Logic X tutorials I have found. I paid for two others that were good but this is great - I enjoy watching these you are a gifted teacher

[@geckonia]

Thanks Joshua. I appreciate the info and your direct delivery style.

[@danelaw4502]

2:20 "alright lets see if were getting a good signal" *lays down nasty lead riffs* alright so the signal seems to be coming in just fine llololol

[@digitalblues218]

i dunno bout you bro but he lowkey killed that shit 🤷‍♂️

[@KyleDaybreak]

*alright lets check the guitar signal* *doooooooooommmmmm*

[@KoyanagiEdits]

Thank you so much for taking your time to teach us! I hope as I go through your tutorials! You teach us how to blend and mix vocals with instrumentals, add vocal effects, etc. to enhance vocal sounds for our music! *You're incredible! :)*

[@MrHarrisonMusic]

You rule man thanks for the very clear, step by step, tutorial. You are serving music well

[@skinnyTheCat]

You're an incredible teacher! You explain the functions of Logic so clear in perfect steps. Thanks for your effort!

Superb Quality of Tutorials. Thanks a bunch!

[@guychoo2]

Amazing teaching Man ! Crystal Clear !!! Thanx a Billion !

[@SunKing2]

This video is so very well done. Your teaching style and presentation skills are outstanding! Everyone should watch this series; those who are laying down tracks, and those that are attempting to create a tut on YT.

[@martingislason]

Thanks for this amazing guide!

[@stevestewart-sturges2159]

Thank you for these concise and very informative videos they are a massive help to me! You really make Logic much more accessible than other tutorials... Great work!

[@johnk7267]

Was planning on spending this rainy day working on new music, but there are things about Logic's Auto-punch feature that have been driving me up the wall because it doesn't function the same way as Ableton's (which is more straightforward). So glad I watched this first!

[@michiwilson]

I looove that autopunch and thank you for the tipp with the low latency modus :D you are great! I study pop vocal in germany and I have learned more in 5 of your videos than in one year of auditech, haha...

[@blingrunawey4117]

For real, I've taken audio recording classes and this is easily a semester's worth.

[@1970sixMusic]

Another great video and day of learning!!! Thank you so much!

[@RogerPelegrin]

Good video man. I appreciate it. Clear and concise. Just what I needed. You're a good teacher. I'll be picking your youtube brain more often if you don't mind. Thanks again.

[@eugenemichael9833]

bro your videos help so much, ur such a blessings. thanx a million

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

I'm aware of the shortcuts. You can hold option and scroll zoom vertically. You can also hold Option+Command and scroll to zoom horizontally. I just choose not to use them in an introductory video like this.

[@howardanderson3061]

Love your tutorials and enjoy the track you're choosing to work with. BTW Killer guitar sound.

[@LanceSummer]

bruh, my mind is blown. Will by watching all of these

[@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.

[@MikeyBizzle4Shizzle]

one of the things that make these tutorials so concise is the spherical/circular zoom you use while explaining; is it possible you might be able to send some feedback as to where i might be able to utilize such a tool; sure would be a heck of a lot better for my work flow when i have logic open! Thanks man - good vids as usual

[@mista_yann462]

Great teaching style -- I am really grateful for these videos!

Control Bar ^ 3rd Option Auto Punch: Select Auto Punch Range where Loop would be. Take Folder: When you record more than one track over each other in one track. Double click a track to expos new takes. the top part Hover over the border of the take to set where it should criss crossed with the other one, Low Latency Mode = 4th button on. Render takes as new file: Press A icon in the top corner of a waveform Press Render

[@x430c5]

Superb videos! Keep up good work :)

[@FirebrandVOCALS]

Awesome tutorial 😎👊

[@danb1572]

I am considering purchasing a mini mac and Logic Pro X in the next few months. This will be my first introduction to a DAW recording medium and my only previous experiences have been a tape based Tascam 424 30 years ago and about 7 years ago a Tascam DP-02 8 track digital machine. These tutorials are so very well done but I would like to know if they are relatively near similar to the current version of Logic that is being offered this year. My guess is that there have been plenty of changes but the content is still very educational and I just want to know if I should proceed further with all of these lessons or look elsewhere for a more current teaching guide? Outstanding content by the way. Thank you for offering all of this to aspiring home recordists.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Check out my Logic Pro 101 course, it's a bit more current than these videos. But I will be doing a full reboot of this series next March 2022. I know it's a wait, but it will use the most current version at that time. Or if you can also check out my Logic courses at MacProVideo.com which are all current. Best, Josh. macprovideo.com/about/trainer/joshuacarney

[@andregilliam3565]

Yo this tutorial is very helpful thanks allot

[@squirreIs]

Thanks a lot for your viedos.

[@gabias]

Very Helpful!

[@OveRanheim]

Joshua, thank you so much for putting this tutorial together! :-) I really learn a lot from this :))

[@alfredorezzani]

thanks...kiss from Italy

[@djjusfed]

Thank you so much very helpful

[@QuincyJordanOfficial]

thank you so much, i learned a lot from your videos. legen......dary!

[@mraz1017]

you are a great man !!! thank you !!!!

[@concon9838]

Hey MusicTechHelpGuy, I'm wondering how you managed to get the distorted guitar to sound that way. Great Vids! Thanks :D

[@kadapasatish6792]

Very nice superb thank you

[@tutubeos]

Very interesting!

[@khushalbhadra]

Thanks for such a wonderful guide on Logic. So far reached Tutorial 4 and watching this I just want to know, often there is a situation when you Auto punch the signal you record can be louder(depends on if we were playing harder on the strings of the guitars the next time round), So in that case Pro tools and Reaper have this option adjust the volume by separating the region and lowering the volume to match the other original recording take. Does Logic has this option too??

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

khushal bhadra You can adjust each region's gain on the left side of the screen in the inspector.

[@fernandoscolletion]

well done. Thank you

[@jorisvergaert1262]

finally you are god

[@MusicAnirban]

Very nice!! Thanks...

[@michalstawarski]

Thank You MASTER!!!

[@undango]

really helpful , thx

[@jpilot07]

the music is baddass!!!!

[@hazjalkhi2791]

you are an awesome guy.

[@mrm5867]

Thanks a lot for the video, its straight forward and perfect for new users like me. I got a question though, in the comping process, is it possible to let takes overlap? Coz for example, in take 1 I got a long note which I want it to overlap at the same point of take 2, if I use the quick swipe it will eliminate one take and replaced by another. Can anyone let me know how should I do? Thanks!

[@Slamo28]

Damn bruh got some chops on guitar!

[@divolino]

You are a life saver. Will you suggest an good input/output device for singing purpose to me. Thanks

[@timby1087]

Am I able to use autopunch with virtual instruments? I use a lot of software synths and keyboards in Logic, but never seem to be able to create a take folder. Love the videos, man - superb work!

[@nonazinotokiohotel]

i love your intro song xD

[@arunmukherjee704]

fine techniques

[@kaixo7]

excellent

[@tommydimmel1914]

Thank you.

[@guitar.violao]

Thank you!!

[@rsl4tk]

Thanks so much for these tutorials! New to Logic/DAW and they have been extremely helpful. On the topic of processing power, was wondering what CPU and RAM you use for DAW?

[@carla.viragh]

If someone gets new tracks instead of takes during Autopunch, right click on the Record button / Recording Preferences and make sure the cycle on off are set to Take new Folder.

[@KingFalsetto]

you got my sub !

[@fernandoquintana2999]

Thnks!!

[@ctothegiles]

Dude, You are amazing! I am only 4 videos in and feel so much better about Logic. How did you make the individual drums into a beat like that? Do you have a video on how to do that?

[@flowride68]

These are great, but that control bar where you have autopunch? I've tried to add stuff to it and I can't. It's driving me crazy.
