MusicTechHelpGuy I can't begin to express my appreciation for your taking the time to make these videos. They are excellent. I'm an intermediate user, which is a nice way of saying I really don't use my DAW to its full potential. These videos are extremely enlightening, man. Good man. Please don't stop.

[@whitelionmuzikproductionz9725]

As a mainly hip hop R n B and Pop producer I can say that your tutorials are the BEST! For any genre or music and that track sounds great!!

[@jerad508]

As a longtime Protools user, I resisted integrating Logic into my workflow. Now I am so glad I did and very happy finding your videos. You are fantastic at teaching these videos and have saved me loads of time with your videos. Thanks for doing such a kickass job!

[@mynameisirrelevant46]

Congratulations..Clear and concise..no profanity..I just subscribed...Congrats on making your album.

[@bonarhya]

Just downloaded the songs from iTunes, really excited about getting the entire album when completed. Really like this kind of stuff. Thanks for the excellent tutorials on Logic Pro X, I'm just starting out so finding them so good and am learning a lot from them.

[@native_embers]

Every single one of your videos that I have watched have been incredibly helpful. I am blown away by the manner, the detail and the thoroughness that you present. You have made learning Logic Pro X so much more accessible for me personally (and for many, many people I would imagine), and I thank you for your help! All the best with the EP!

[@dinhhung8760]

I thought the same like you ! but I was blown away 4 years later in 2021

[@TheKicksLounge]

Dude those vocals were pretty sick...

[@exfad2381]

I am very Impress with your tutorials. Very clear and simple to the point. I am an heavy user but still learning little tricks from you. Keep on the good works.

[@TOMEGUN1983]

Just loaded Logic X for the first time & now I am here. Very informative thank you for your help I am looking forward to finding my comfort zone in this DAW

[@TheFolksinger]

Good tutorials. I am taking notes on my notepad each time I think I want an exact index for specific info. I think the relaxed presentation enhances the series.

[@djAvarti]

Thank you MusicTechHelpGuy. Every video I watch I am one step closer to my dream of becoming a producer/DJ. When I make it to the top I will never forget how you helped me get there.

[@lawrencediggs7957]

You do a great job. One of the best instruction videos on KZbin I've seen. Production and teaching value very high.

[@cm0220ster]

Thank you for your very helpful and concise videos. I find myself returning to them again and again as a composer switching from Pro Tools to Logic. Extremely helpful and much appreciated.

[@MrAlbie18]

Awesome tutorials dude. I've donated my $3 and got your music... very good.... keep up the good work!!

[@theblowupdollsmusic]

I must say thank you for taking the time to make all of these wonderful and detailed tutorials. Your videos have been a non stop reference for me while working into logicx!

[@jessetimmmiller1870]

This track sounds great, bro. Dig that piano arpeggio in the chorus with the guitar pull-offs. And for "not being a singer" the vocals sound rad! Thanks again for these videos. Love 'em!

[@benknudson1963]

This is one of the best series' of tutorials on the internet, thank you! Bonus for the concise explanation of absolute vs. relative grid!

[@badasstracks1754]

Clear as crystal yet again. Thanks man.

[@wolandsmachine]

i wanted to wait until ive watched the very last video to drop this comment, but i cant keep it anymore :D Thank you so so much for doing this man. Your videos are making my life as a musician much easier, specially the intimate and friendly way you explain things make them better than any other tutorial on youtube. \M/

[@robertroycegroome2953]

Awesome Tutorial, Saved my life on the Snapping function. For your Fade process I have been selecting 2 + Audio Channels and them entering the Fade in Amount in the Region Settings, it Comes in handy if you have many selected and want to add fade ins / outs or want to change to speed up / slow down. Thanks again !

[@Silent-en5xy]

thanks for literally showing me a button that was in front of my eyes this whole time lol, this really helped me

[@TheGuitarGuy69]

Purchased! Great tutorials...you have been my "go to" concerning Logic Pro X. Great music as well...very crisp! :) Good luck to you my man!

[@patrickwilliams1886]

Dude I appreciate you taking your time to do these videos. I am big into ProTools and know how to get around and it seamlessly but I really wanted to learn logic because it seems like it’s just more fun and it makes more sense. So thanks again I tuning in, I have subscribed, and greatly appreciative of the things that you show me during the tutorials. I wish there was a way where I could just look at your tutorials only.

[@bikrammalhar3004]

I love each of your Tutorial. Immensely Helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@groovecat7]

Yes, great tutorial. Thank you. Very helpful seeing the editing capabilities of Logic X. Also, the audio fidelity and and playing in your project is great! Nice work, man! That guitar is blazin...

[@statikaos1]

Thanks for the lesssons, and I'm digging the music. A very positive message!

[@chrisjordan9259]

Thank you Josh for all these great tutorials. I'm an AVID fan of yours!

[@burnt06]

Thank you so much for making this series of videos. Your teaching me every thing I need to know. I really like the song. I bought the EP.

[@Highlineheros]

those guitars sound sick! vocs are pretty good as well.

[@srgysolschnk434]

The multiple track fade-in is solved in Logic Pro X 10.4.0! Cheers man. You do great vids!

[@wenchongfong6855]

Thanks so much for your tutorials!

I can´t thank you enough Joshua, your videos are awesome and you have been so helpful to me and a lot of people. Your time is priceless and I treasure the effort you make to keep up with the videos and you career, so I´ve just made my small contribution to the cause and bought your EP and I LOVE IT!!! Man sounds so good so even when trying to support I got some very nice tracks. Im happy :) Just wanted you to know that and again... THANK YOU SO F... MUCH. Pace

[@jayjay25136]

Thank you you're the best teacher!

[@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.

[@johncatania2587]

Love the vocals Bud! KEEP IT METAL!!!!

[@CarlosMartinez-sn7rj]

Hey MusicTechHelpGuy you really gave me some good stuff to look about in Logic, but the prize goes to the Epic Band you got there. Just now I bought the whole ITunes Album, 'cause you guys are frankly awesome. I don't know how much time you've been playing, but that's an epic refreshing album. I'm really interested on what's going on with the project, and hope to listen to the second and third and fourth and collection albums in the future. Great Tutorial, but of course Amazing Band!

[@berkayedis2892]

thanks for uploads, really helpful.

[@harrypachinko]

Thank you for providing this Logic Pro X series for all us. I know everyone appreciates all your efforts. You provide clear and concise information while executing with a natural delivery. You are one of the most comfortable out here on the Web. Thanks again..... Now, I'm going to go check out your music links and show YOU some support!!! ;)

[@alamblare9232]

Great vocals!

[@chrisp5823]

your tutorials are top notch. You've gained one more subscriber ;D

[@ClassicalContrarian]

Baller-ass, boss-ass videos. Great job man.

[@asmartasur2992]

Excellent video. Thanks a lot.

[@1masterfader]

I like that Bubble that pops up with the bigger view of Logic. How are you doing that? Your tutorials are very intuitive.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Glad you're enjoying them. The bubble is a separate app called ZoomIt. It was only a few dollars on the app store.

[@1masterfader]

MusicTechHelpGuy Thank you!

[@michaelziegler6227]

This is a VERY useful site - thank you MTHG :-)

[@ErikIsTired]

I don't know if Logic has been updated since this video, but I'm able to do multiple fades in just like you do with the fade out!

[@ValourTV]

Another great tutorial, thanks.

[@tutubeos]

Beautiful song

[@bobbywelch447]

Just bought ur tracks man, different but I like it. Thanks for posting these tutorials btw, they are very helpful.

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Thank you. Wait until you hear the entire album! Getting released next month. The EP tracks were all in the box mixing. I used all analog outboard gear for the final mixes. It's like night and day.

[@guitmesa]

That's bad ass man I have a lot to learn but I hope to have a rack full of preamps and compressors n shit one day

[@NMG-Digital]

Great instruction!

[@borisblanco8971]

Thanks for the tutorials. They really help. Just one quick question: how do you change time in the middle of the song? I see you ave 4/4 time through most of the song, and then you have 3/4 time signature. This is interesting.

[@iHATEremixers]

That sounds like the piano part in "Chocolate Rain" hahaha. Great video, very helpful!

[@NetoMuniz]

Seems thar version 10.1.0 corrected the fade in issue

[@grumpyoldmanracing]

Hey mate. I was just thinking "finally someone is doing a tutorial with great sample music"

[@ClassicalContrarian]

We are all children... children of the sun!!!

[@grumpyoldmanracing]

Must be an in joke cause that's just weird

[@IgorPontoLopes]

Nice music! we are the children of the sun!

[@pianisthemant]

thanks a lot man...very nice track...

[@elliotignasiak5152]

Good tutorial, great tune as well! \m/

[@hmmmwhatever]

after selecting the different regions with the marque tool...I could fade the beginning ones no problem....wonder why yours didn't....the little bugs are so wild in logic..

[@jeromejazz4597]

sweet song!!

[@eole123456789]

How do you insert A 3/4 bar into a 4/4 song ? Btw thanks for putting these amazing tutorials out !

[@AngelMTY111]

You can use the events button on the top right corner next to the loops and library buttons and you just have to select tempo events and insert the bar change you need in the measure you need

[@WiBouz]

hey man...thx so so so so so so so so much for this tutorial !!! i can fade in multiple regions in my logic X 10.0.6

[@Iamdjaps]

thanks for the help!

[@kamalprajapat3207]

thanks sir for giving to us this type of lessons that is very usefull for me and other bigner musician like me you are doing such a great job keep it up and stay teach us thanks #KP.PRODUTIONS

[@adityabhardwajverse]

I love you

[@jaredesposito8994]

HEy music tech help guy, your videos are very helpful. I have a question...what do you personally use for drums?

[@michaelbautista1]

Thanks for the great video. Just curious, how did you get the electric guitar sound?

[@eatacay]

I'm a recording guy, and have been asked to use someone else's rig. Thanks for saving my butt. lol

[@mattg5461]

Can you explain how you got that guitar tone and how you were able to get it so clean?

[@thetiler]

I love your tutorial videos, I think they are the best I've ever seen and heard at youtube! Thanks I have a burning question

[@thetiler]

My background in the arrange window is ALWAYS BLANK:( Thanks for any help!

[@jaimeisinnervoice]

not sure if you were able to figure out multiple fade in regions. on mine i am able to do it. perhaps current updates resolves it.

[@andrasbihari5573]

hi, thanx these tutorials, im coming from cubase where playhead follows snap settings and in logic it doesn't so when i click and try to position the playhead to the bar it looks like it is there and i zoom in and it is very close usually but not in the line (weird anyway why logic guys think i want to position there instead of the set snap value not so "logic"), so that makes me crazy and when i paste something from the playhead it is matters if it is not exactly there so is there a way the playhead snap also to the set values, or i have to use different ways?

[@fedorvoronovcomposer]

Cool song

[@savvygee]

@musictechhelpguy read the Mayday Children opera notes on CDBABY. Seems like a great script to build a Sci-FI block buster. Hope it does and I get to see it :). Love your work man.

[@phm1800]

Thats a really cool song your working on there thanks again for the tutorial

[@RcKDrUmm3R]

Is there any way to make the grid or rulers bigger in size so it’s easier to see and manually snap transients???

[@KoyanagiEdits]

At 2:05 is that method called "stacking" or something like that? I really want to learn how to make vocals sound awesome like that! :)

[@composerjamiecoleman7382]

I may have missed it in the list, but did you do the video on working with video in logic prox?

[@leonardpersin9694]

Can you make a video on programming drum triplets via midi for metal music? Or do you already have one? Plz help lol

[@acdcrifftv8714]

Thank you for teaching me! Please, anyone, I really need help!! How do you do the following... 1. In the Editor Window, I do see the grid lines, but I do NOT see the grid lines underneath each Audio region. Of course, when I click on the big scissor icon on the upper left corner, I do see the grid lines faintly under the audio region via pop up window. I prefer to edit drums (12 audio tracks) and vocals via "Transparent Audio Grid" (I know pro tools and studio one has this feature) . Any suggestions? Is this possible in logic? 2. I want to record 3 separate guitar audio tracks at say from bar 10 to bar 14. I use the marquee + tool and point and click on the Region to bar 10. I press "R" RECORD and it records in another bar/area. Why? Of course, when I use marquee + to PLAY anywhere on the region, it will play where I want it. I wish it did the same for recording. Any suggestions? When I press the Record button, it records where ever the is located . Very frustrating. I hate to always use the at the very top every time starting at bar 10. Finally, I set the at bar 10, hit record and it works great. Now I want to double it, arm the next audio guitar track and it does NOT go back to bar 10 to record. It just continues where I was left off. Again frustrating. Any help or tricks will be much appreciated. Anyone available to teach me via zoom or google meet? Thanks again! I am very grateful!

[@djpoetic28]

what the best for snapping vocals into time with the track would it beat

[@robertroycegroome2953]

P.S. Oh yeah song sounds great !

[@davidmiller3852]

That song you made tho noicee

[@WorldITCB]

I know we're not at mixing stage yet but I saw the comment about mixing analog vs. in the box. Is it hopeless to believe you can mix a pro album in the box even with top plugins and years of experience? In other words, are we wasting our time if our goal is to mix and possibly even master our own albums in the box? I know mastering is probably reaching for sure but I always set my aspirations pretty high. Thanks in advance!

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Just because someone has great analog outboard gear doesn't necessarily mean that they'll make a great album with it. You CAN make a great album without it. Your ears are your best tool. If you are experienced and have good plug-ins, and know how to use them properly, it's totally possible. When I can, I like to use as much outboard gear as possible, but there are definitely times where the artist is on a budget and can only afford a plug-in mix. I typically use a combination of both plug-ins and analog gear. There is also a lot of great outboard compression out there for under 1k a piece. One particular example that I own two of is the Art Pro VLA II compressor. I love these units for vocal compression, and they're only 400 a piece. Each unit has 2 channels. I'll eventually do a video on using outboard processing in Logic. The other thing is "mixing in analog" is a pretty rare… and by that I mean mixing COMPLETELY in analog. That is very rare by today's standards. I've mixed on SSL consoles and great outboard gear, but I'm still using some plug-ins and a DAW, not tape.

[@WorldITCB]

Thanks for taking the time out to respond with this well-explained lengthy response. I agree 100%. I am currently trying to "master" the few essential plugins I have from UA (using the Apollo Twin Duo interface). I got the Manley Massive Passive, 1176 Classic Limiter Collection, and EMT 140 Reverb, along with the Ampex Tape Sim. With Reason 7, Logic X's native plugins, time, and knowledge (such as your skills and tutorials), I believe I can get some very high quality productions done. It really is, IMO, about learning your "gear" equipment or program. Many get caught up in the latest gear, latest plugins, latest programs, and never actually get comfortable and well-versed on what they currently have. Anyway thanks again! Great work! Truly appreciate all that you have put into these tutorials! Awesome musical skills too!

[@phillipjones3766]

I have some MPC quantize settings that are named by percentage 51% 52% etc. How do you make sure that when using these quantize settings that the Absolute and relative settings for the CLIP do not keep your from the off-set settings of the quantize?

[@tutubeos]

Fade in issue is working now.

[@JohnCena-us2pg]

was that your voice??? if it is, you have such a nice beautiful voice

[@MusicTechHelpGuy]

Yes, I am the singer on this track. Thank you for the encouragement. I'm not really that great of a singer, so it takes a lot of work for me to get the right takes. Thank you.

[@JohnCena-us2pg]

MusicTechHelpGuy np nice tutorial btw

[@BettinaCalmon]

Here, I can Fade in all the regions I've selected together.

[@CliffConway]

Reminds me of a mix of Mudvayne, Avenged Sevenfold and Dream Theater

[@fedorvoronovcomposer]

is there snap for score view in Logic Pro X

[@CraigWhiteIllustration]

sweet track man...

[@dominumstudio]

We are the children, children of the sun...

[@ellisberg]

Bet you're a fan of Steven Wilson.

[@WiBouz]

[@nathanrussell252]

Judging by the vocals, somebody listens to Trivium.

[@batucelik_1]

thanks mate. (Y)

[@ErickBolivarMusica]

Logic 10.0.7 let me do multiple fade-ins no problem.

[@MuzoSTEIN]

FAB FAB FAB ! ! !

[@stephenshubert1936]

This video was not helpful at all

[@tyleredited]

Song is bad no offense Edit:maybe not

[@PerpetualFlowAudio]

buy an EP? release that shit for free, to get your name out there

[@desperson]

+Vince Paasch He's teaching everyone Logic Pro and Pro Tools for free. Seems like a fair deal.
