What's good fellow song-maker! So, if you've started a song in Logic Pro but are struggling to actually FINISH it 1) you're in good company lol, but 2) it's probably because you're stuck on production. And for good reason, I mean music production is basically an ever-expanding bowl of creative sauce that you can easily get lost in...
I want you to ENJOY the sauce! But in a quantity appropriate to your experience level. This video is geared toward beginners that don't have a lot of know-how when it comes to adding instruments, layering sounds, effecting things, and just making your song sound more like... well, a "song."
We're going to take an original song of mine from demo to developed by attacking the 3 foundational areas of production:
🎹 The Music
00:00 Pre Production Setup
01:30 Breaking Up Music Patterns
08:50 Adding More Instruments
17:57 Spicing Instruments Up With FX
23:09 Adjusting Song Structure
23:55 Save CPU By Consolidating Tracks
27:14 Free Gift To Streamline Song-making
🥁 The Drums
27:57 Logic Drum Machine Designer 101
35:16 Programming Drums With Samples
35:57 Recording With Drum Machine Designer
39:57 Creating 808's With Logic's Drum Synth
45:00 Editing Recorded MIDI Notes
46:25 Duplicating Drums Across Song
47:15 Filter Effecting Drums With EQ
53:30 Drum Production Wrap-Up
🎤 The Vocals
54:42 How To Autotune in Logic Pro
01:04:41 Morphing Vocals In Vocal Transformer
01:08:02 Adding Dimension With Vocal Spreader
01:09:18 Recording Background Vocals Quickly
01:11:05 Vocal Production Wrap-Up
Logic has a lot of intuitive tools that make it easy to produce these areas, but I admit there are a LOT of them. Freaking knowing where to click is half the battle 😅. But if I was a new producer, THIS is how I'd produce my first song in Logic Pro.
I'm in this battle WITH you my friend - and together we'll traverse the plains of production in Logic Pro X in styyyle ⚔️ 🤓
Let the nerding out begin!

4:21 I was very confused about copy and paste for some time because I don't know if still the case, but Logic liked to place the playhead not snapped to the grid always, so I end up with misaligned regions a lot. So 1. make sure your playhead is really there wherever you want it to be. Also, just repeat one region, I use command + R instead. Easy, no need to mess with the playhead. Also at 6:35 there is a midi command in the midi window, go to edit, then forced legato (I guess shift + backslash), it lengthens all the midi end of the selected notes to the next note. Unfortunately I think it has a bug and not aligned perfectly has a gap like a division or so, maybe it is on purpose but still it is cool. Cool video, btw. Why there is no 1080p option?
