Now this is why TH-cam is so brilliant. There's enough stuff in this to keep me going for ages. Isn't it great to watch a video about Logic which doesn't waste a second, doesn't start with someone telling you how wonderful they are, or trying to get you to subscribe? People subscribe because what they see is excellent and they want more. In nearly two hours I was not bored once. Incredible stuff.
Thanks Jono
Yes to all of that!

Have a look at some of my scores trevormadsen.bandcamp.com
Yeah! ...this is crazy good. I'm saving this and sharing it.
@@trevormadsen Very nice, just listened to your Lightkeeper score. Very good composition and production. Are you using real strings and instruments or sample libraries? And if so, which libraries, for strings, piano etc? Would love to know! Thanks, Chris
I wish I could take my money and throw it at Jono Buchanan. This has been the most helpful and absolutely concise demo and video I have ever seen with a DAW. I actually took hours pausing this video and inputing the exact same things into my own DAW as he went through the class and now I feel so much more knowledgeable about Logic on many different levels. Thank you so very much!!
Damn now I’m excited to watch the video, wish me luck
Agreed!

Can’t believe this was free.. amazing thank you
I have never watched a 2hr you tube video. Ever. Until today. Stunning & informative. Thank you Guildhall.
The same for me. It’s changed my whole process!
And me!
This is how every class should be. Organized, entertaining, hands on and extremely informative. Thanks Professor Jono and Guildhall.
This guy's knowledge of Logic and music in general along with his talent and presentation skills are quite humbling.
This is one of the greatest tutorial I have ever seen. It gave me some great ideas for both composing & visualizing music to video. As a singer-songwriter & band leader I often need midi generated charts on the fly for guest performers in a recording setting. Seeing this approach used validates my efforts. While writing, I layout percussion, keys, and bass in midi with my guitars & vocals. There is also the visual artist in me that realizes albums are no longer cardboard printed sleeves with vinyl, they are cinematic immersions. Composers are now filmmakers and cinematographers. I watched Springsteen's "Western Stars", and Queen Bey's "Black is King" recently, what an amazing way to tell a story. I thank the presenter and the Guildhall school for getting me one step closer to being able to achieve such dreams on my own.
Jono Buchanan is the essence of an Educator - generous, respectful of his audience, obviously likes youth (not jealous of) and is carefully prepared. He also has several videos of his own getting way less views than deserved. I learn so much from him! Thanks Professor and Guildhall for this impecable Masterpiece!
An immense amount of content, and no filler. To be on for two hours and get all of these points across, while also functioning as the recording engineer, is absolutely incredible. Many thanks.
Phenomenal. Probably the only 2 hour video I've ever watched on TH-cam.
So true
Actually 😁
So incredible. This was the best two hours I have spent on TH-cam ever. The amount of information presented is almost overwhelming. I will undoubtedly be rewatching sections from it for some time to come. Please continue to post this kind of content, it is so necessary. Bravo.
Phenomenal stuff again from the Guildhall. I’m learning so much seeing a professional workflow in these masterclasses.
been searching for a genuine in-depth video on film scoring and by far this is the best most valuable 2hours i've spent. well done
This is just the way education should be. Articulate, informative, engaging and most importantly simple to understand.I still keep coming back to refer to it. Well done to Professor Jono. Thankyou!
That was freaking incredible. So glad I took the time to watch it!
This was probably the best LPX tutorial I've ever seen - and I've seen a lot. Hats off to Jono. (Phew)
There are no words to express how good this is! Fantastic!!
Absolutely brilliant! Spotting, composition, development, scoring, recording, editing and final stems all in one overview. Oh, and LPX workflow tips. Nice job fitting so much into a less than 2-hr class!
Professor Jono Buchanan nails it! Two hours of my full attention, this masterclass was interested like a great thriller movie... Thanks!
This is amazing! Thank you so much to all who were involved to produce this master class...and the professor Jone is great! Handle this kind of high complex classes and keep your focus all the time! WONDERFUL!
The best masterclass I’ve ever had the privilege of watching. Brilliant and wow, I’m speechless.
Thanks again Guildhall. This is outstanding masterclass series. Absolutely gorgeous. We need more of this.
Absolutely agree!! The best and most complete DAW masterclass. Love the way it goes all the way to orchestra and recording
thanks so so much for making this recording publicly available! This is so enourmously valuable and worth more than any of those youtube videos and how to's. Mr Buchanan spoke with such insight that it was hard to switch off!! Thanks again!!!!
GENIUS PRESENTATION.Thank you so very much. I have learnt so much more about logic pro x key commands tools and stock plugs to speed/enhance up my work flow and tighten up my productions.
Great masterclass sir!
Its actually the 1st one that took so long and i watched it effortlessly without skip parts or stop it, thank you very much!
I only can say: This is an absolutely amazing walkthrough all phases of film composing, recording inclusive producing stems for the director.
This master class is a must for everyone who wants to be involved into film music.
This was absolutely stunning. Seriously. What a wealth of information for absolutely free. Guildhall and Jono, thank you for putting this presentation out. As a starting, homegrown film composer without much actual academic training, this is the most valuable content I’ve come across yet.
Thank you so much for this and the other masterclass! I've learned a ton and Jono an amazing teacher. This was brilliant
What a genius! Loved the presentation!
I've had Logic X for about 9 years and collected many Logic "instructional" videos. Professor Buchanan in these days of super heroes you are a Super Educator, showing me breathtaking powers of Logic X related in a way that one can't easily discover. Your videos are In-depth, clear, concise, faultless demonstrations of Logic X matched by no other publication, free or paid for. Thank you for your hard work.
An absolutely BRILLIANT display of mastery of Logic explained beautifully and clearly with no wasted time. This is indispensable for any film score composer. An EXCELLENT video! THANK YOU Guild Hall!
havent even watched yet but think its awesome that you share this online for everyone to watch for free...and a quick scroll through the comments: its great to see such positivity
you should be proud of yourselves for inspiring people like this
How awesome of him to upload this to youtube I'm not intending to do film scoring but I really love orchestral sounds in my edm music. So this really helps.
Wow, that was amazing and inspiring! I've been using Logic Pro X for a few years now to create backing tracks I upload to my channel, and this masterclass has made me realise how little I know. Humbling, yet not discouraging - I now feel armed with a whole new battery of techniques for my future productions. So glad I found this video. Thank you Guildhall and thank you Jono Buchanan! 👍👏👏👏
The best and most useful masterclass I've come across on Logic Pro X !!
So incredible that I can watch this informative and really helpful content in TH-cam for free,
There was no second in this video that was wasted,
Thank you so much!
Last year when I tried to watch this masterclass for the first time, it was overwhelming because I was just getting started and there were too many information for me to process at that time. But now I find it very helpful to really understand the workflow, very detailed in such short time and so many tips on using the time efficiently and on how making the music more interesting. Totally worth it watching this from the start to the end. Thank you!
I just want to say, Jono, after you played your strings section for the first time I cheered out loud :D
Not sure how nobody in the audience did...!
I never comment on videos but this video taught me more about Logic and scoring then any one of the TENS of THOUSANDS of videos I've watched since the Internet started.
Absolutely brilliant in every way.
Thank you!
This is just brilliant. Kudos to Guildhall for making this available.
Best seminar I've ever seen. A true master class. Thank you Mr. Juno!
Absolutely brilliant! I was searching for that stemming solution using track stacks for so long....particularly printing aux tracks from stacks.... What a great class! Thank you so much!!!!!
Can't believe this is free. It covered as much it could in a two hour class. It's especially stunning seeing an orchestra coming on stage.
Learnt an absolutely F*** ton of stuff here! Awesome master class! SO much great information. Thanks for the upload!
The MOST Brilliant Concise Two Hours in LOGIC! Thank you!
Awesome!! This masterclass just gave me a ton of encouragement and information that I thought I'd never find for free on youtube! Amazing job, thank you isn't enough. God bless you!
Absolutely awesome masterclass!! Enjoyed every second of it. Thank you very much!!
Jono Buchanan is so knowledgeable and generous in this masterclass. I learned so much. Thank you.
Absolutely amazing. The very best video I’ve seen in a long time. Came here to learn more about using Logic, and learned so much more than I expected. Thank. You so much for providing this masterclass on TH-cam.
The best ever guide for scoring a film...U were amazing and u gave abundance & detailed information for all Logic Pro X users.
God bless u...!!!
This masterclass is absolutely outstanding! Beautifully presented and extremely informative. Thank you!
Thanks for this class, I learned a lot. Will need to watch a few more times.
Brilliant video. I’ve been using Logic for 12 years now, and believe that when he mentioned that he’s only scratching the surface of logic, he means it. Thank you.
Absolutely fantastic!! Thank you so much.... By far, 'THE' best Logic Pro Media, Film, Composing video tutorial I have seen to date!!! Brilliant :-)
Wow, so much to digest. Thank you so much, a thoroughly engaging and informative masterclass.
This is a brilliant video I am not a Logic user but there was a large amount of useful information that I can use for writing and mixing in my Daw. The 2 hours flew by. Thank you.
Thank you very much for uploading this for free, it's a great resource.
25 mins in, pausing to express my extreme appreciation for this aptly named Masterclass. Thank you!!!!
Best film score masterclass i've seen yet
This video is just amazing, such a well done master class. Thank you for sharing!!!
I can't find fair words to put into a comment. All I can say is Thank you Jono and Guildhall for this incredible effort and awesomely made masterclass. It was incredibly awesome!
Professor Jono Buchanan is going to become my new HERO!! Thank you very much for sharing this masterclass!!
Dam. I only just started and received this treat. His lessons with have me flying. Thanks for this class. I really appreciated your work.
So clear, concise, and informative! Thank you so much for sharing this class for free.
Absolutely Great! Thank you for sharing this Masterclass! So many things learned by Professor Jono Buchanan! It's my first time watching TH-cam video for 2 hours :-) Thanks again!
Best LPX explanation workflow ever! Thanks!!!
Woooww, I've learned whole lots of essential mixing techniques. Thanks 🙏
Thank you for this! I listened to this video while building cabinets, and was still very inspired and learned a lot. Thanks!
Outstanding. Thank You for showing your process.
Thank you so much for this video. Seriously one of the most helpful/informative tutorial videos on music production/film scoring I have ever seen! Wish I could attend that school!
First time 2 hr video here and this was amazing. Thank you
I don’t have Logic (I’m on a PC), but this was still an amazing instruction for the film composer. I’ve just begun to really scratch the surface of it by just writing the music but this was great for the technical aspect of fitting it to the film and what a director might want. Thank you!!!
🙏🙏🙀
thanks and wow!! been learning cubase for a little more than a year now and i must say, apple really knows something about great user interfaces. i am in awe at how the interface makes the workflow so easy.
When I start to feel a little down about all the crap floating about on TH-cam and getting millions of views I turn my attention back to contributions like this and realize that it’s worth it sifting through all the chaff to find these kernels of gold. So thank you, thank you very much.
This amount of work in 2hrs ... brilliant.
Absolutely amazing example of what a masterclass should be
Watching this for the third time >Serious knowledge bombs dropped a HUGE thank you!
Wow! I am so much thankful to Guildhall and Prof. Jono Buchananfor this extremely informative and inspiring master class. Wow
An excellent and very informative masterclass. I learned loads!
The classic „boy gets text from girl - does parkour - meets girl“ 😂😂 happens sooooo often to me 🤦🏻♂️
Such a confident speaker. This guy is good!
Absolutely phenom! Jono, you are a beast! Thanks for an awesome master class!
Thank you so much for this amazing masterclass. So much vital info. I’ve learned so much!
Wow. This was incredible instruction.Thank you for making this available.
Thanx a lot for this super Masterclass ! What a great teacher !!! :)
Bravo! Thank you for this extremely informative content! What a masterclass indeed.
Let's hope the Avengers don't hear the Superhero bit!
This is excellent work! lot's of useful information, as well as general Logic tips, etc. The logistics for this whole demonstration must have been a lot of work! Really good stuff.
(Feel a bit sorry for the (unnamed) brass player who fluffed one note, especially as it was heard several times!)
Yes, especially since the camera was on him in a closeup shot right when he did it and you can see his reaction. I was surprised they didn’t take the time for a second take on this or even might have been a good time to demonstrate a punch in. ;)
What a clever and thoughtful use and demonstration of a wide variety of Logic features.
This was very informitive!...also this is another reason why i love Logic Pro!!
Absolutely fantastic. So perfectly explained with clear examples. Thank you so much.
Absolutely brilliant video. Extremly informative! This guy really knows his stuff!!
This is an inspiring video, with a stunning amount of useful information.
Incredibly informative! Thank you Guildhall for this!
Such a great class video. Completely packed with information and tips. Thanks you so much for putting this together.
24 minutes and I already like this as a noob to matching music to film
Absolutely fantastic presentation. Blew me away.
BRILLIANT video with great tips & tricks!
