Really enjoyed the video! My number one tip is to read the online manual. In Logic you have a world class piece of highly developed software and you are denying yourself of it's (and therefore your own) potential if you are bluffing your way through on a few CZcams videos. The manual is online, free, broken up into bite size pieces, searchable, cross-indexed and up to date.
Do you have the link for online manual?
@@edgaracevedo9658 No, but Google does.
Here is a summary of the topics it might helps!
1. 0:45 Automation Control for midi
2. 1:56 Use Track Alternatives
3. 3:42 Flatten your tracks
4. 4:37 Editing features and capabilities
5. 6:17 Option Click Drag
6. 6:57 Bounce tracks in place
7. 8:24 Adjust Metronome Settings
8. 9:34 Option Click to reset anything
9. 10:20 Create buses for instrument stacks
10. 12:25 Use Latch Mode for automation
11. 13:37 Use Region Editor Window
12. 17:03 Fixing Time Stamp
13. 17:57 Create and safe custom presets
14. 18:49 Super cool EQ's in Logic (Vintage Collection)
15. 20:56 Strip Silence
16. 21:48 Flex Pitch (pitch flex ;D)
17. 22:58 Use Alchemy before buying external plugins
Thank me later.. :D
Thank you man this is super helpful!
Thanks for doing that. I need to get that in the description.
Nathan Larsen you‘re welcome!
You a goon for this! Thank you!
6 -> Or freeze the track to do the exact same thing without creating or replacing the track with something else.
I completely suck with technology, even the most basic functions are a challenge to me. I always figured id hire an engineer and my job would be to write and record... Well it didn't work like that so I found myself scrolling CZcams and watching hours of tutorials and "how to" videos. soon I learned for every 1 helpful video there's 10 that are not helpful at all.. im so glad I subscribed to your channel ur a major help through this difficult journey. Almost every question I have, there is an answer in your videos. Your page is my first stop every time I have a question I don't even bother with the CZcams search results anymore. I appreciate your help and I will defiantly be telling my friends to subscribe as well, thank you
@9:52 when you said you can't undo volume, you actually can.. Just press Command+Option+Z to open Undo History, and enable "Mixer" in "Include Parameters Changes From: Mixer | Plug - In", and now wallah, Cmd+Z undos the volume! because "Volume" is integrated in the "Mixer". I enabled both the "Mixer" and "Plug-In" for extra convenience :) sorry if someone already mentioned it, but I'm too lazy to read the comments.
Here are the tips:
0:45 - 1. You can control automation on MIDI channels. Open Piano roll press "A" to bring up automation
1:59 - 2. Use Track Alternatives - Right click on track header choose Track Header Components > Track Alternatives
3:43 - 3. Flatten Your Takes
4:37 - 4. Advanced Tools - Find Under "Preferences > Advanced"
6:18 - 5. Option+Click+Drag copies things on drag.
6:56 - 6. Bounce In Place - truncates MIDI to audio. (And other stuff) Select regions then Control+Command+B (or access via right click)
8:25 - 7. Adjust Metronome Settings
9:34 - 8. Option+Click to reset values (Faders, Pan, Etc.)
10:20 - 9. Make similar channels output to a Bus (He's talking about making sub groups for vocals, instruments, Drums, etc.)
12:25 - 10. Use "Latch" Mode for automation (Latch keeps writing the last setting once you stop moving.)
13:37 - 11. Use region editor. Good for reversing, pitch stuff
16:34 - 12. SMTP Lock - locks to time stamp instead of bar/beat grid
17:57 - 13. Create Custom Presets - Channel Strip chains, Bus FX, so on.
18:49 - 14. Vintage EQ Plugins
20:55 - 15. Strip Silence - Control+X to bring up the Strip Silence Window.
21:48 - 16. Use Flex Pitch to Change the Gain (of Vocals) Better than automation in some cases.
22:57 - 17. Alchemy Synth is really good,
Someone may have already mentioned this but instead of using the scissor tool for your secondary tool I find it's way more useful to use the marquee tool. The Marquee will technically is a scissor tool! Just command click and it will slice right where you click and for even more efficient cutting if you click and drag and then click again it'll create two cuts for you in one smooth motion. This is also great for adding automation points very quickly as when you drag and click it'll automatically create four points for boosting or reducing automation values! Incredibly powerful and compared to what just the scissors can do alone
Yes! I have tried multiple times to get into a workflow with the Marquee tool but never could get super used to it to be honest. I totally get it is more of an all around tool but I've been using scissors for literally years that it's tough to break it and get into a new habit haha! Maybe I'm lazy LOL!
Nathan Larsen if you get used to the Marquee you will make another video of “I wish I knew this when I started using the scissors” 😉 you can do pretty much the same thing with the marquee and maybe 5-6 other things. If you select a section in between 2 bars and hit the Repeat shortcut, it repeats that section. Useful for when you have a region that’s not aligned to the grid but you want to make an exact copy and keep the position. The same can be applied to copy-paste. Select the section, hit copy, go to the beat where you want to paste it, click with the marque to set the “in” point and hit paste. That’s it 😊 and there’s more...
@@iamdannywyatt Haha! You got me sold :) haha
@@iamdannywyatt I agree. Also you can snip with Command T which is what I tend to do out of habit.
C Pryme How do you cut a period?...and does it then turn into a comma?...jk 😜
I learned way more than 17 tips from this video just watching you maneuver the application. Your competence inspires. Subbed.
That's awesome! Thanks! And welcome to the channel fam!
thanks man,for later🙏
Don’t diss out your own content by saying whatever or i don’t care even if they are downloadable for free or for a price. You are helping people here anyway and your contents are great 👍🏻
16:07 you can improve the sound by changing the pitch method to polyphonic by using Flex Pitch !
thanks Nathan for creating this video.. so helpful as I'm getting started.. some I'm ready for now, some I'll bookmark and revisit cheers!
I'm coming back to Logic after a long hiatus (Logic 8) and this has been a fantastic look into things I should have known and also tips for the newer version - very thankful to be stumbling upon your channel and will definitely be checking out more periodically once I get the hang of some of these more fluently 🙏
Dude ! That was phenomenal.
Specially the 'latch mode' for automation and reverse/pitch change'.. Excellent demonstration.
Thanks for the tips! That fade option... 👍👍👍
Congrats! Really helpful!
Wow!! Super helpful video! I like your style. I understood everything. Thanks!!
Thank you, great video.
Man! Thank u so much! I learned some new tricks!
TY for sharing all your knowledge 😊 !
Hey Nathan, I've been working in Logic for 20 years - back to Emagic! But I still learned from this video. Amazing how one doesn't know what one doesn't know:) Many thanks.
Such an awesome and thoroughly useful video!!! 🔥
good stuff .... i never knew about about most of this stuff but what hit home as a newbie is that click track adjustment
Such a great video ,easy and to the point I really appreciate that
Good helpful stuff Nathan. Thank you man!

Omgosh. This is also so helpful. #16 has been a bane to recording vocals but knowing this will save me so much time doing more takes especially when I like a take but there’s that one part ya know? Your channel is so helpful. Thank you.
this was sooo helpful, thank you so much!! I'm going to be so much quicker at producing and mixing now 🙏
Just got logic prox this was one of the best quick learn vids I've seen, and I've seen a ton. Keep them coming!

Very helpful, thanks f sharing
Thank you for sharing! Great tricks
Thanks for this! Yes, a video dedicated to BUS usage and management would be so incredibly helpful. Much appreciated.
Super cool video man-- I've actually been using the transpose function to put together bass lines (since I don’t own one) where I'll cut the bass line on the low e string of my guitar and transpose it down. Has been working for me much better than combining different midi sounds!
Mind Blown!! So Helpful!!!
Nathan that was such an awesome video bro ...thank you sooo much.. learnt a lot:)
Really great tips & tricks - thank you!
Broooo this is the best video ever for logic. Youuuu are a god send. Subscribed 💪💪💪
very helpful. good shit my man.
I have been using Logic since it was owned by eMagic. It continues to get better and better, bigger and bigger. Thanks for your help in researching the details and putting them out there. I always learn something, and it is good to have a refresher on the things I do (or did) know, as well as new features.
Subbed. My God. Thank you for these really practical tips.
Just watched this. The first couple I knew from various sessions but by the end...my mind is now blown. Strip Silence and Flex Pitch volume is going to be a game changer for me
Wow, you cook right thru the tips. Nice ! Subscribed 👍🙏
nice tipss man... been using logic for a years and never noticed the feature you mention.. some of it of course... thx for sharing...
this was so helpful dude!! I’ve been using logic for what feels like forever and I only knew a few of these tips! I also went through the comments and saw you liking and responding to each one, and that just gave me so much more respect for you dawgie! Subscribed before I even finished the vid, keep up the good work my guy!!

THANK YOU.. great..I was pleased how many I knew but learned some great tips..I have subscribed...Strip Silence yay!
This is one of the most helpful videos Ive seen
saving presets ... I knew there was a way to do it.. but thanks for showing me.. because once I got the normal vocal presets right.. I didn't want to have to individually do the same thing for each project so i'm grateful now.
The tip about locking regions to SMPTE - at about 17:00 - really got my attention. Thank you!
Awesome thanks!
These would've saved me so much time and workarounds, subscribed! 💪😭
Thank you very much!

Thanks!
Amazing tutorial man!!!!!
Best video I have watched on production so far. I'm a vocal producer and getting into full production. Wow.
Hi Nathan. Millard Randolph Curry here from Central Arkansas. I just finished watching this video and was super impressed. I was turned on to you by Charles Cleyn, in my opinion, a very talented, great presenter, in a relaxed way of producing his tutorials. I must say you are more energic and move along at a nice pace. In fact, I was so impressed that I gave you a thumbs up, clicked the subscribe button, and clicked on the personalized notification bell. I'm looking forward to more of you sharing nifty tricks & tips. I came from the days of Logic Express several years ago, in fact, I still love & use it. However, I have 10 to 12 upcoming recording projects that should keep me busy for the next 5+ years. Being retired now, I have all the time I need to get it done before I kick the bucket. Hopefully, my 30+-year-old daughter can continue reaping the benefits of my life's work. Thanks for the info & great tutorial. I learned several new techniques. Keep Up The Good Work Nathan. I'm look forward to learning more from you as time goes by. Take care & keep'em comin'!!!
Short and sweet tips with no extra bs. Thank you for that.
Thanks! 🙏🙏
also hit Option R to open a floating inspector region - quick for reversing and gain and fades -super useful
Honestly a great tutorial! Keep up the logic tips pls!
Dude, you deserve a second comment because you are saving my life here with these tips! Also you got a new sub!
You're awesome! Thank you! 🙏🙏
