If you're a beginner to logic pro x and you're looking to learn how to record vocals then this video is for you. I'll show you how to get setup recording your vocals from scratch and the specific equipment you need. I'll talk a little bit about different audio interfaces you can purchase as well as microphones that are good for vocals. We'll touch briefly on how you can process your vocals after you've finished recording but we will mainly discuss how to start recording vocals from scratch in logic as if you were a beginner.

🙋🏼♂Hi everyone, if you want to get professional sounding vocals and mixes in Logic Pro, I suggest my freer 6 pillars on learning Logic faster: www.charlescleyn.com/learn-logic
This feeling when you spend half an hour browsing for tutorials to get to learn how to record vocals on Logic, and all what you end up with is being frustrated, you have many questions unanswered, and you don’t get the vocals recorded. Then you come to Charle’s channel, and suddenly you can relax. I love the way you’re explaining all of these things, everything sounds and becomes so easy. Thank you!
you really are the king of your own! thanks for the content Charles
True
Exactly my experience!! Bless you, Charles!
One of the very few people on TH-cam that does not waste time with bullcrap but actually teaches you how to do something.no fanfare, no bull just instruction. Bravo Charles/ I will like and subscribe forever. Thank you.
Thank you so much Charles. You are user friendly for all of us that haven't studies recording engineering and would like to learn. I almost had a my head explode listening to another teacher of Logic Pro X because he seemed to be more into bragging about all the bangles and beads instead of actually showing, hands on, how to get things recorded. When you explain it, it is so much more clear for us civilians, and singers, and instrumentalists that are trying to learn how to use a DAW during a pandemic. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
Excellent job!! Thx for sticking with the vocal recording topic and making it simple to understand
Charles came on to your channel by browsing and I am glad to be here. Have been recording with Logic X for some time but not at all in past 6-8 months for various reasons. Also now have a new Clarett +8 and new Mac Studio and was getting confused in basic set up in Logic. Of course this was compounded by not really fully knowing my new interface control software that well. Anyway, thanks for the straight forward refresher. You got me situated with the monitoring set up in particular. I will be checking out your channel. Best
This is super helpful. As a musician, this tech stuff is so new to me, like a different language. I really appreciate the step by step help! 🙏 Thanks
This was the perfect ratio of information given for amount of time it took to give said information. Most instructors I've seen can't make a video this detailed in 10mins. Really phenomenal work, will be subscribing! 💎🤟🎵
You are an amazing teacher. Thank you so much for your clear approach and calm presence. Keep it up!
Exactly what I needed as a completely "green" beginner: A Logic Pro ABC - thank you! :)
Thank you! I was struggling, trying to figure how to record my first vocal - inputs, outputs, vocal effects. Could not quite put it all together until I found your tutorial. I really needed to be walked through it step by step as a beginner.
Great flow! Thanks Charles~
THANX - brief and clear intro, very useful!
Your awesome!!video was so helpful especially for some like me just Learning Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your explanations
Excellent help! Thank you! I suggest viewing entirely, then watching to set up.
This is the best video for absolute beginners who want to learn how to use Logic Pro X for vocals.
Great video! Very well explained
This was dope! Very helpful!
Thanks... very informative for a beginner
Thank you so much. This is exactly the type of feedback I needed.
Really learnt alot from this, Logic Pro X is smoother than the previous versions.Thank you for the clear explanations.
Thanks for the video. I bought the MIDI keyboard you recommended to me the other day. Very pleased with it!
Very happy to hear that. Come back to the video and ask any questions you might think of.
Very helpful thanks!
Thanks CC. Straightforward and helpful. Hope ur well there bro. ty
Thank you for your great videos! So helpful!!
You’re welcome Riki!
Thank you, for the video i appreciate that. Now we all beginners can record songs :) keep going
Super helpful! Thank you, Charles :)
This is great! Thanks! If you haven’t already, can you show how to record with presets, or effects added to the vocals while recording? I hope that makes sense… I want to be able to hear reverb while I’m recording my vocals and not have to add after
needed this!
This is the most helpful music production video I've ever seen
Thank you 🙏🏾🙏🏾 This was a big help!
Awesome to hear! You’re welcome
This is absolutely a life saver! just had my first recording now. Thank you so much Charles!! Kind of noticed my condenser mic is picking up the chirping birds sound. Is there a way to go about cancelling the background noise.
Thanks for your help my g !
You’re welcome!
This video helped me 🔥💯
Hey Charles this is producer/dj jovonn I just stopped to say your tutorial on TH-cam was very helpful by way of recording vocals and wanna thank you for that dude , you describe perfectly to convey how to get through a problem so guys like me won't get frustrated thanx again.
I was almost finished with a session for myself until I decided I wanted to drop vocals and spent three hours trying to figure out how to get the input open for my vocals lol 😆
Great staring video I don't know anything about recording. very helpful. I was referenced to this site by someone who sent me a song to add my vocals and lyrics to. I have no knowledge of recording and looking forward to more videos. i need to be able to download tracks people send me and add vocals.
I keep coming back to your videos, thank you for all the info 😊🙏
You’re welcome!
@@CharlesCleyn could you make a video on pitch correction/flex pitch? I’ve been trying to figure out how to use it correctly without the vocals sounding too much like T-pain
Very helpful, respect bro 💯
Thanks Shuhan
Thank u Charles, no one on yt does it like you😭😭🙏
It would definitely be great to see some more about how to edit vocals after recording. Even with gain set at a good level there will always be parts that need tweaking. I'd love to learn the basics of what to look for and what it sounds like, so far every time Ive been like "well I don't know what that is" like 10 second after in the video you explain it with multiple analogies and its so helpful. Seriously, thank you, Im sure the more I practice and follow along with your videos Im gonna get the hang of this stuff.
Thanks man I am new to recording and was so annoyed my vocals were so quiet pre record. Thank you
Thank you!
This is a wonderful guide
Thank you :)
You explain so clearly. That goes for all your videos and thank you for that. But I have one question which I couldn't find anywhere.
I'm trying to create a vocal track and my mic is connected to input 1and I choose input 1 but it keeps recording in mono. I even chose inputs 1-2. Appreciate your help 🙏
Let me know what other type of logic tutorials you would me to cover 🥁🎸
Could you do a video on how to precisely do seamless loops? I’ve been having a really difficult time getting a good loop on Logic Pro X and need help. Further more I’ve been having a hard time fighting out tempo and how to get the drums to match my guitar loop.
Hi Charles! A video on what you do to produce and perfect vocals after recording would be great! 🤩🙏🏻
Hi Peter, thanks for your suggestion. I can do a tempo video around Audio loop. I’m making note of it now.
Hey Matt, thanks for the suggestion. That would be a great video. I’m making note of this now.
Hi Peter, can you do a tutorial how to change back the “adapt tempo” into “keep tempo”? At present i make a music using “adapt tempo” about 85 and during hearing back the music is not consistent. So I try to change it into “keep tempo at 90” but unsuccessful. Logic keeps prompts not able.
Charles - Thanks for making this video. I have a noob question. Should the vocal be recorded completely raw meaning no EQ, no compression, etc? I heard it was OK to atleast add EQ to the voice but wasn't sure. Looking forward to your response. Many thanks!
Keep grinding,...you should have millions subscribers
Thanks Jossi, I appreciate the kind words, maybe some day!
Thanks for the vid!
You’re very welcome, please come back sand ask any questions
@@CharlesCleyn I will thanks
Thank you so much...
Thank you so much for your videos, they have been sooooo helpful. I set up today in a non treated room. I bought some in ear monitors so that I can record visually without cans on. I’m plugging in ears into apogee one.My in ears are way more sensitive than my closed headphones(I’m hearing much more room noise from my apogee built in mic with in ears?)I found it hard to get my backing track on logic to play at a reasonable level.
Do you have any thoughts? I know I need to spend more time understanding the gain on the apogee. It surprised me that different ear monitors would need different gain setting? Also backing track bass sounded painfully loud on in ear monitors at the level I needed it.
Any thoughts welcome!!! 🙏
Hi, thanks for your video. Please can explain us the meaning of the "25" value on input level? What is the best value to use there?
Great teaching thnk u
Thanks for watching :)
Thankyou!!!
Great help here! I have been adjusting my Logic and I may have clicked something because now my mouse is working only as a left click mouse on logic; do you have any suggestions how to undo that? Thanks!
is an audio interface REQUIRED to connect my microphone to Logic? I just bought and xlr cable that connects straight to my macbook. Thank you for the input!!
Hey. I don't suppose you'd be willing to cover the heavy effect use of singers like Mike Patton, Maynard, or Al Jourgeson? I'm specifically interested in the difference between solo tracking and double tracked vocals with effects.
This is great - thank you Charles - I can see from the few comments I have read that it is your straight forward support and guidance that is such a relief as so many tutorials have lights and bells going off - just too much big personality' and not enough basic guidance So I am a beginner with Logic pro and so far its been fun recording vocals - however - my voice likes to wander up into the high range as well as being sort in the low - so there is an issue with loud and soft and distortions especially with the high more shrill notes - how do I clip the distorted notes in post. recording?
Hey Radha, if you have such difference in highs and lows in your performance you could record separate takes and set the gain levels appropriately or if you don’t want to do that you can back off the mic when you start to sing loud. Hope that helps!!
Hi Charles, I am using a condenser mic with focusrite interface to logic, why is my monitor signal to headphones very quiet despite making the adjustments you have recommended
Hands down best teacher for logician TH-cam!!!!!!!!!. don't @ me
Do u need an interface I have a Rockville RCM02 mic that can connect to my Mac book air . Should I buy one ? For the best quality
Thank you for the clear instructions! Great video
I'm doing everything in this video but not getting enough headphone volume. SM57 to Cloudlifter to Clarett 4 pre. How do I get decent headphone volume on the vocal track ?
Hello - if the vocal is not on beat, how can you move the recording on beat without splitting the clip. In Ableton that's very easy and straight forward with the markers, in Logic Pro I couldn't figure it out
thank you! So you said don´t worry about the stereo out being too high. But then once we record the vocals around -.6db but the stereo is around -.2db before mastering. what do you recommend?
you can always bring everything down before mastering so you sit at about -6 before you start compressing or limiting... but like you say just make sure you're not clipping on the recording.
Hey Charles! I literally just got the interface - Scarlett focusrite 2i2 - 3rd gen interface with the Rode nt1-a. I’m having a problem though which is incredibly frustrating. I’m getting literally a ‘Wind Noise’ with a mix of noises that sound like thunder and static robotic noises also with the interface and I can’t seem to fix it at all or figure it out. Have you any idea what this problem could be? The Rode mic is working with it but not as it should because I’m getting those awful noises with my interface and it’s passing the problem onto the mic too because of it. It’s literally so frustrating not being able to figure or fix it. Now I do have an older MacBook- I have a mid 2012 one with MacOS Catalina with update 10.15.7 and I’m just wondering would the system or update I have be causing this noise or can I rule that out? I’m really struggling to figure this out so anything you know that may be the problem would be very helpful! Thank you! Ps, great video 👍
Thank you
Thanks for the help. My input was set to 1 instead of 2.
Glad to help.
Is there anyway that I can record guitar and vocals without using my studio headphones to connect to my computer and use the audio interface instead?
Ive been self learning music for like 3 years now, and I'll be goddamned if anyone has been able to cogently explain what an audio interface is for. This guy just did it in one second.
Hey Charles, I looked at your website to see what equipment you use and fell down a Scarlett rabbit hole. Can you tell me what the difference is between a Scarlett 4i4, and a Scarlett solo? I saw it on Amazon
thanks u rock!!!!
Thank you, so much, for this excellent tutorial! Now, I can finally get some dinner and go to bed! :-)
Awesome!! Bon appetite!
Hi very good! Thank you! Could you please make a video recording vocals step by step. Thank you!
Thanks Jhon
is the quality in logic pro louder compared to GarageBand? I've always had garage band and my songs where never loud. I just got logic pro how do I mix and master with logic pro to get my songs to sound loud
I'm a pure hardware guy but I make my beats on fl studio. Don't like recording live audio on it because it's complicated and annoying. I also have logic. I'm hoping this could be a solution for on the go, maybe in the studio. I need a way to maybe bounce stems in and out easily. and if logic has some straight forward basic GOOD plugins maybe i could mix with it.
Very helpful video thanks for sharing 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
My pleasure, come back if you have any questions :)
@@CharlesCleyn sure mate I really appreciate your kind help 🙏🙏.
nice vid
can someone help? ive followed every step and everything seems to be set up fine but when I press record on my audio track its not picking up any sound and the metronome isn't playing through my headphones that are plugged in but instead playing from my laptop speakers?
Very interesting video Charles as usual, what’s the chances of doing a video in the future about “Bouncing “ because it has me very confused 🤷♂️
Hey Kenneth, I’d be happy to make a video about that. Thanks for the suggestion.
Succinct, thank you. Will watch 20 times😅😏.
how about choosing 'sends out' I noticed your say bus 2,3
I have a usb mic but it doesn’t show up in Logic pro how do I fix this ???
I always have to have the I button pressed 🤷🏻♂️ - great vid 🙏🏼 thx
Just caught the end where you mention :)
What if the input says “in 1-2 “ & there’s no other options. How do I fix that?
Is it okay if there’s no audio interface?
Can you make a tutorial for ACX audiobooks beginning narrator, recording and editing? THX
Hey Rocco, I haven’t heard of that. I can look into it!
If im just recording only a vocal while listening to a backing track in headphones off my phone, what input / output to use? Thank you.
it will depend on where you’re plugged into the interface.
3:08 it also didn’t give me that option. It says BLUE USB Audio 2.0
Do you record with a Compressor and Eq and busses with reverb and delay Active while tracking your vocals live
Sometimes I record with compression and reverb but I’ll rarely record with any eq or delay.
hey guys, I have a question. I can't record my vocals in logic when is in the correct input, but when I click in stereo I can record only one side. Ant ideas???
How do you set it up to punch in and out. For example if the lyrics are "Hey, baby....I'm in love with you"....and you just want to redo "Hey, Baby", how do you set it up to punch in before "HEY" and out after "BABY" with a 2 bar roll time before the punch in occurs?
hey ed, you can to punch in recording by going to 'customize control bar and display' add it as a button so you can turn it on/off in your display top bar, then you're good to.
part two available?
I've been watching your videos, . My only user end suggestion is that in #1 and #2 is that I did not get to see where you were clicking, it went by a little quick. For us beginners/intermediate's ( I had a pro over here and I watched and learned) is that there are a lot of buttons and options to click. Way to many. They seem camouflaged to the inexperienced. You might remember them after the first few tries, but finding them in the first place is tough, at least for me.
Charles, I have a Yeti usb mic... plugged it into my Mac Laptop for a vocal -- but when I opened a track , there were two tracks instead of one? What does this mean-- I think it must be something with the output?
Hi Jan, are you talking about 2 tracks on the left side in the inspector window? You're right in saying that the track on the right side of the inspector is the output.
I can’t get Logic Pro to let my usb be used as an input.. only output has option
So helpful 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹👊🏾💯
Awesome to hear.
❤ ur channel- total noob. Do u have any vids that walk thru (simply and visually) how to take 2 tracks (lead and backing-I recorded both)
I don’t know how to put them together in one track. Lots of videos talk about stacks, busses, bounces, etc. I’m coming from OG analogue tascam 4 track! So these words are foreign to me. I just want to toss two vocal tracks together- is there an easy vid that shows that? Like I’m 5? 😂 thanks!
I have a rode microphone how do I connect it to my computer is there a wire I can use ?
I want to record my songs I don't know how
Hi Valenzia, yes you should be looking for an XLR cable to connect your mic to your audio interface. Unless you have a USB microphone that connect directly to your computer.
You did not cover the part where to audio waves overlapped and how to manage so many layers in the same track
