Joshua, your tutorial videos are top-notch tutorial videos. To say they are the best on TH-cam is an under-statement. The presentation, the flow and everything is just fantastic. And your English is very precise and to the point and your voice is very pleasant too. Thank you for sharing your immense knowledge and expertise with us.. People like you restore some faith in human beings.👍👍👍
I recently bought a Mac with an macOS Monterey running on an M1 processor. I am learning Logic Pro with your videos. I don't have much experience in computers or computer software. Now I found that many VST instruments and software are not compatible with Monterey. Even if they are compatible with Monterey, you still have to see if the software runs on Intel or M1. Most the music software do not meet these two criteria. So there are very few third party software I can use. Could you please kindly shine some light on this subject-matter ? Many thanks.
This was so fantastic. Finally I can understand all of the basic edit functions, easily move notes and clips, and create smooth fades. Your videos are so easy to understand and make learning DAW software fun instead of confusing and boring. Thank you!!!!!!
Thanks for the incredible lesson. I have never been taught in such depth with such precision. You have managed to demystify DAW's for me. I am really grateful. You are also a fabulous guitarist. Great teaching, great results!
I'm learning so much in your videos, especially this one. All of the edit tools have been a bit intimidating to me since starting to use Logic and this makes it so clear and easy to understand that it's making me just want to spend hours writing music. This is going to help me be SO much more efficient, which I definitely need to get better at since I'm starting a career in Music Licensing. Thanks for the extremely helpful and easy to follow videos!
Thank you for your descriptions. I’m completely blind, so I appreciate you using the terms that Logic uses, and also keystrokes. Voiceover uses the Logic’s terms to identify things, so when you use the term Inspector, that’s what Voiceover uses. Or if you were to talk about piano roll and other things. Even if it’s not visually name, the fact that you are describing it that way means that I can find it. And the fact that you are describing what keystrokes to use also means I don’t have to look it all up in the keyboard manager all the time. I really appreciate how you do your videos.
So helpful. As many before have said, coming from PT, the Logic workflow is frustrating. However, these tutorials REALLY helped to get me over the hump
great vid. Another cool use for the marquee tool is the ability to select a segment and then automate that segment altogether without having to create the little dots double clicking when using the pointer tool.
Very helpful! It will help me changing from recording 'percussive rumble from the jungle' audio in Pro Tools into doing my homestudio projects in Logic. Thank you from the 'Percussion Today Home Studio' in Amsterdam!
Frankly, I was looking some tutorials to help me out with the bounce of mono interviews for my podcast but your tutorial made me stop… I’m learning a lot!!
Really awesome tutorial!! Helps me a lot to get started on Logic...I switched to Logic from Cubase, so I learned it now from scratch. And your videos are the best!! :DD
I've been using Logic for quiet some years now, I hardly use all these tools from the menu. Besides my pointer tool, I only use the fade tool, which is very handy. I never use the markee tool or sissors... I mostly use the drop down menu, which is closed in your session, the menu with options like: "cut at playhead" etc. (the fourth button from the top left corner of the screen) Renaming regions works fine with just clicking on the region name (maybe in combination with another key, I think option... not sure since I don't have a project open) and chosing it from the menu that appears... changing the secundary tool to the text tool for such a small task seems overly compliacted, at least in my workflow. But of course it's just what you are acustumed to.
CORRECTION: At 1:16, you show how to adapt the cycle mode selection (gold-colored ruler bar selection) to the selected region, "remember, you can press Command U." The key command for this is just U, not command-U (though Command-U will work if you haven't customized that key combination for something else - the command key is just ignored.)
Actually Command U is correct. Command U and U are actually two separate key commands. Command U sets the cycle range around the selection. Just U alone, creates a cycle range around the selection, but snaps the cycle range to the nearest bar line, on either end of the selection. So if you're selecting something that's trimmed exactly to the bar lines, it might appear that these two key commands do the same thing, but try it out on a region that is not trimmed to the bar lines and you'll see what I mean.
Hello thank you for the videos you are awesome! Curious question. I work from my macbook pro. When holding control while dragging a region using any snap grid mode only makes a menu pop up it doesn't help me diminish or expand a region. Also, when using the marquee tool when you highlighted audio within the region and just clicked your mouse and trimmed or took a snippet out that you wanted to move. When I highlight and just 'click' my mouse on it nothing happens. I am assuming I may just have to use my trim tool? IS there another way to do these two things on a macbook pro? Thank you for your time and great content.
2022 and still useful! However, I've looked here and elsewhere for a procedure that adds a fade-in and fade-out to a looped region, i.e., without adding fades to each of the individual loops. Given what I've seen of Logic so far, I can't imagine there isn't a simple-ish way of doing this? Am I right? Great tutorials; thanks!
You could do a batch fade from the inspector. Select all of the loops/regions that you want to add fades to, then go to the region inspector, and you can type in a specific fade length (in, out, X-fade) and apply it to each region you've selected. The values are in milliseconds.
@@MusicTechHelpGuy Thanks a lot. I'm thinking that the better way to go with this particular problem is to Repeat/Replicate whatever the term, the region; do a Fade-in on the first, a fade-out on the last and X-fades between the inner copies. Seems like too much constraint on the Loop approach. E.g., I'm not doing bars or standard pop-song sections, etc. It's more ambient and open... and I really don't know at this point where it's going. Great tutorial material none-the-less. I've had Logic for years, never really used it because I never had a machine that could run it with ease. An M1 MacBook Pro handles it quite well and Logic is higher % silicon. Worth another spin.
Hey man, when I hold control shift to create a fade my project just scrolls instead of creates a fade. I've tried to copy the movement moving from inside the track to a blank space but it doesn't work. Please help.
HI! I just love your videos! They are great for learning. But I'm using Logic Pro X 10.4.8. And some commands don't work. Is that so? are there different commands for different versions of the logic? Thank you!
So looks like Shift + Control and Pointer drag out to end of region, only works when it is a single audio track or the track has been bounced in place. It won't let me fade comps with punch inns or guitar take loops.
@@michael55671 You have to copy the comp folder and move it to the end of the project. Then click on the letter in the left corner of thee original. Flatten- or Flatten and merge. Then as one single file it will fade command. Might be able to do it using the number fade section in the inspector while track row is selected. Not sure. (I opened the key command folder with the new update to look for changes as well. )
I am getting lots of value out of your whole series, but I can't figure out how to use the marquee tool. If I set it for the secondary tool, and hold down "command," nothing happens. (@ 17:48) But if I use the marquee tool as my primary tool, it does work. But when I mark a section and hit delete (@17:59) it doesn't work.
@@MusicTechHelpGuy thank you so much for your quick response. My logics advanced tools were already turned on but I don't know how to reset my key commands. when i go to "Logic Pro X" (upper left corner) and select "key commands", the only choice is "presets" and "edit" and when I select "edit" i get basically a blank window. then I went to the help screen and it says "click the Actions pop up menu and choose initialize all key commands..." but i don't see anything on my screen labeled as "actions".........thanks again
i have went to key command/edit, and see the full screen now with all the zillions of key commands, but I cannot find anywhere on that screen to reset the key commands.
@@hottamaletallahassee Go to Logic Pro X > Key Commands > Edit Key Commands -- then the little gear in the upper left corner of the window. Choose 'Initialize All Key Commands'. Are you using an Apple Keyboard? Cause on some Pc keyboards, the command key gets assigned either to CONTROL or the Windows key.
once again, i am hugely impressed and grateful for your quick response. I am using a MacBook Pro, and I did exactly as you suggested i.e.all advanced tools turned on, the key commands have been "initialized" furthermore I closed out Logic Pro and went back and opened my file. I am able to use the Marquee tool to select a section, but when I hit "delete" on my keyboard, as you instruct at 17:56 nothing happens. This will be a very useful function for me, so I hope you can help me figure it out. thanks again so much, in advance. you are much appreciated.@@MusicTechHelpGuy
I saw your other comment about the modifier as well, you probably don’t have your advanced tools turned on. Go up into preferences, then advanced tools, and turn on all of the options there.
@@MusicTechHelpGuy Hey thanks, Music Tech Help Guy, that restored the 'File' edit tab - it looks like the modifier check boxes have been done away with and you just 'learn' the appropriate key stroke, modifiers and all. But I'm having a weird issue with one of the commands; I use ctrl + arrows for Zooming in on arrange - vertical works but horizontal doesn't. These are issues arsing out of the fact that I'm migrating to a new machine, Thanks, subscribed.
Further to my previous post it seems that ctrl + arrows was a keystroke already in use in system prefs shortcuts. I disabled that shortcut and voila, it now works in Logic.
24:25 anyone know how he made it zoom on the point he had selected there (34th bar) ? This would make zooming in to specific points of the track much easier
I can’t cut or use the marquee tool to grab a section from a drum loop. It will just take the section i cut and make it a shorter version of the whole drum track which sounds different from the 2 bars I wanted to grab. Any ideas?

Just got Logic X. Been using other DAWs a long time but not Logic. This is a very clear demonstration. Thanks.
These videos are super useful! Very well thought out and great idea using a song in the making to demonstrate.
All of your tutorials are excellent. Thank you!
Yah, this man is a beast!

Hey, .. I’m new to Logic, just comming from Cubase, and I’m realy glad to watch your tutorials, you rock ...
Keep these videos coming. They are helping me out plenty. After watching all of them, I should be on a roll after trying things out.
Thank you for these tutorials. I am a complete novice and trying to learn how to record as a complete newbie, and this is helping so much.
The best DAW tutorial I've seen. Thanks a million.
I always learn something new and extremely useful when I watch these tutorials! You're the best!
Great tutorial, thanks so much. Being more familiar with Pro Tools I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to do simple things.
You've made DAWs so much less intimidating with these. Thanks a ton! Contributed to your Patreon. Keep 'em coming!
great vid. Another cool use for the marquee tool is the ability to select a segment and then automate that segment altogether without having to create the little dots double clicking when using the pointer tool.
Josh Carney rocks on Logic Pro X! Thanks, Logic Guru, for the well delivered video!
At 17:00 it made me smile when you added speed ups and speed downs to the Fade tool to create an effect. That was really cool!
Great tutorials and a really good teacher. I have learned so much in just a short period of time. Thanks you so much!!!
Wow, awesome. One of the best Logic tutorial videos I have found.
Very helpful! It will help me changing from recording 'percussive rumble from the jungle' audio in Pro Tools into doing my homestudio projects in Logic. Thank you from the 'Percussion Today Home Studio' in Amsterdam!
This video was worth the patreon subscription alone! Thanks for all your work!
Great Video....explanation of crossfading audio regions or batch fading is so important..thank u Im a big fan....
Great videos. Thanks so much for creating these!
Was supposed to buy a course online. Glad I found your course. Amazing job!
Frankly, I was looking some tutorials to help me out with the bounce of mono interviews for my podcast but your tutorial made me stop… I’m learning a lot!!
You are the reason I use Logic
Yet another amazing video. Thanks!
You are the absolute best. Thank you for doing this series.
Really awesome tutorial!! Helps me a lot to get started on Logic...I switched to Logic from Cubase, so I learned it now from scratch. And your videos are the best!! :DD
Hello! First of all, thank you for sharing your knowledge with humanity! How do I bounce a mono track? Thank's
Awesome tutorial! When opening Logic for the first time it's like a mountain which's top you can't see. No I have at least an idea. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for this! Been using Logic for a year and this was still very helpful.
Thank you for this one. Great learning and refresh for everyone.

My mind exploded when he said you can draw automation. I've been doing it manually for months in garage band
So much information, wonderful. I'll have to watch this several times.
This has been useful information so far!
This course is so good, thanks man!
Great sharing and like the presentation on logic Pro for individual items. Tq
Enjoying your vids - getting me up to speed quickly - THANKS!
Excellent stuff! good common sense straight forward tutorials step by step I was struggling to do simple things. Onwards and upwards meastro

I cannot get my fades to work. With the tool, keystroke or mass fades by regions. What am I missing! :)
I love your guitar tone. Was all the distortion and simulation in this project done using the Logic amp sims and effects, and doubling the tracks?
It was
Another excellent video. Thank you.
Very well explained thanks alot
Excellent! First, thank you for saying "Logic Pro 10"! haha ... Also, I wasn't using the Region crossfade method ... thanks!
Thanks, this is very helpful
