I know this is usually said sarcastically, but truly. I can not believe this is free. This is better than some of the college classes I've had on logic......
I used to feel like shit that I wasn't allowed to go to college for music production. I don't feel bad anymore knowing that your channel exists. I would pay for your tutorials; and you're SO FUCKING GOOD at teaching
Thank you so much for this tutorial series. You have no idea how much you've helped me. If only my teachers were this clear and easy to understand then school would've been a lot easier! And this is coming from a guy who's got ADHD (ADD). You're a really good teacher!
+MusicTechHelpGuy Ohh I'm not just talking about Alchemy but your whole logic series, it helped me go from zero to hero! What I always tend to lack are the skills to bring my ideas to life, but with your videos I really did manage to learn Logic X. Now that I know how to use the software, it'll be easy for me to use the creativity to make tracks!
thnx for putting an excellent comment, you have no idea how much it helped me reading your comment. I saw it and then watched the video and it was really helpful ..and I don't even know anything about ADD.
I searched the whole Internet and found you! You are the only and brilliant person who reviewed and helped me! Thank you so much, good man! You are a super professional! And your review is super!
8 years later bro and Im still learning from your video! Thank you for helping people like me who love music but would be lost without people like you!
Alchemy is a powerful plug-in. Has so much depth to it, definitely a Logic gem. Hands down the best stock plugin bundled with any DAW. Key switches per octave is a game changer.
So I stumbled upon a alchemy tutorial the other day that looked really cool but I don't remember what it was exactly, so I searched alchemy logic pro and you're the second video that came up. Im back again cause you da man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Dude, you're so iconic!! Just came across this and remembered you were the one who taught me how to use Logic Pro in 2017, through your tutorials. Tysm!!! ❤
Absolutely brilliant! This is the first video I've ever watched by MusicTechHelpGuy and I'm 100% hooked. Best. explanation. video. ever. Now I'm going to have to binge watch your entire library. Thank you so much!
Hey Music Tech Help Guy, God bless you for all the time you spend to educate who knows how many people, hundreds, thousands, millions... You have been a blessing for me and my church, and just like Tetsu Queen says "you helped me go from zero to hero" God Bless you :)
Question: I'm having trouble recording the "key switches" at around 16:00. I set the MIDI "Cycle Off" to "Overlap", but it's not overlapping the clips. The new clip with the key switch MIDI notes is replacing the previous clip with the MIDI notes that were controlling the musical notes.
My man, thank you for all of your videos - You are such an excellent teacher. I bought Omnisphere but actually have been favoring Alchemy & the ES-2 because your tutorials are so good so I can understand how to use them better. Thanks very much!!
Simply seeing this video in the subscriptions page made my evening complete, thanks! Haven't even watched a second yet but can still tell this is going to be helpful!
Thank you so much for this video and the whole Alchemy series you did. You do a great job of explaining what everything is and how to use it and the bit on automation at the end really helped me a lot. Keep making videos!
This really helped things click for me in my head. I have trouble learning until someone explains things in a way I understand and you nailed it! Massive cheers dude!
hi, very pleased to see that you update the tutorial, hoping to see a more detailed Alchemy Tutorial, I especially want to learn how to use Alchemy to design Drum sounds, how to get more impact of the heavy Bass ???
You can put your own sounds into apple alchemy, and you can also import exs sampler sounds right into it as well. That is a miscommunication in the tutorial
Great video! Can't wait to actually be able to find Alchemy on Logic (just got my computer yesterday) and try it out. I'll be watching more of your videos.
I thought I'd had a decent understanding of how to use Alchemy from just messing around on my own. Guess not. Great video; very informative and easy to understand!
Great tutorial - you made it easy to understand and learn. You have earned a sub. *thumbs up* . I will be going through all your Logic X tuts now and see what else i can learn. Thanks
at about 6:40 - how did you the Dream Voice patch to appear in a Logic track? Having trouble with this... is there some step that transmits the patch name to the arrange window?
Does anyone have any idea why any sample I load up in Alchemy end up clicking in the beginning like its having some super fast attack, but no matter how much I adjusted I still be hearing these annoying clicks in the attack. Been trynna solve his issue for decades please help someone!!!
Many thanks for this tutorial, I'm overlapping a track with Key Switches and that works fine but doesn't show MIDI activity just blank track no trace either on Piano Roll, could you suggest a remedy, best regards, Steve
Hey, I am trying to use Paper Thin Drama and trying to get rid of the swell and squeeze tso it will just play the pattern straight through without thinning the sound so hard. The sound gets way too thin for the song I'm trying to remix. Do you know the steps to do that? It's driving me nuts because I can't find what's controlling the swell and squeeze of the pattern. Thanks for any help you can give me.
Do you know a way to play a single note on a pad and have it sustain indefinitely until the next single note played? Like the Latch function of an arpeggiator, but for a single droning note. Amazing tutorial, thanks man!
These tutorials are awesome, thank you. Have you done one on how to control Alchemy with an external keyboard? I cannot get it to work at all. Seems like it should be simple but no dice. Thanks.
Great tutorial. But tell me; how do you keep from going into a transcendental state while playing with the Alchemy parameters so much that you don’t get any real music made?
Hallo from germany, i need your advice! Iam thinking of buying native instruments massive, but is it neccessary if you already have alchemy? Does massive have something that alchemy has not? thanks a lot!
Chris, this sounds great, but what and how, if I use different instruments: strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and vocals? How do I keep colors when I use these instruments?
@@MusicTechHelpGuy, please forgive me. I don’t know why I named you Z Chris. My bad. But can you answer the question about what I asked in using strings, woodwinds, brass, percussion and vocals and how do I Lao colored when I use these instrumentations? Thanks and apologies!!!
A little help please: When I designate C1 as the octave to control the snapshots 1-8, none of the keys in that octave play. But every key outside of the octave above and below plays fine. The octave I set does control the snapshots but there is no input to the track when I play the key. I set the octave to Off and every key plays again. Why is that? Thanks in advance.
Do you know if all the sound banks Camel Audio used to offer on their website for Alchemy are still available somewhere for sale? There were some amazing contributions by different sound designers.
Thanks for making this video series! I'm wondering where you got some of your patches like Dream Time Traveler and Awakening. Were they created by you or are there good places to download more patches?
I always get this prompt that keeps me from opening logic "Could not open the file Alchemy/Libraries/WaveNoise/White.wav" does anyone know how I can fix it?
Thanks for tutorial! Have not been able to find the "MIDI overlap" on version 10.7.5 - do you by any chance where it was moved too within menu? Thank you!
thank you mate went through most of your videos appreciate it, but i am having problem with my logic pro plugging i can't successfully download the plugging for example i can't find batter4 plugging pls help thank you
It's almost 2023 and this is still so pertinent and valuable. Thanks Music Tech Help Guy!
dude thank you so much for making these tutorials and making them free. you are SOOOO important to the Logic community.
I know this is usually said sarcastically, but truly. I can not believe this is free. This is better than some of the college classes I've had on logic......

+Jake lee (Scamma-D) If you want to be a music producer you should 100% go for that; regardless of a college education or not. Chase your dreams man!
None of the top producers went to college for music production
Metro Boomin
thank you Nathan
im in college for music production and my teacher tells us to watch these
Thank you so much for this tutorial series. You have no idea how much you've helped me. If only my teachers were this clear and easy to understand then school would've been a lot easier!
And this is coming from a guy who's got ADHD (ADD). You're a really good teacher!
+Tetsu Queen I'm editing part #2 as we speak! I'll have it uploaded tonight! Part 3 should be up tomorrow.
+MusicTechHelpGuy Ohh I'm not just talking about Alchemy but your whole logic series, it helped me go from zero to hero!

Alchemy is a powerful plug-in. Has so much depth to it, definitely a Logic gem. Hands down the best stock plugin bundled with any DAW. Key switches per octave is a game changer.
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. You explain everything in a way that's so easy to digest.
So I stumbled upon a alchemy tutorial the other day that looked really cool but I don't remember what it was exactly, so I searched alchemy logic pro and you're the second video that came up. Im back again cause you da man! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

Oh man, this is gold. Going to be a game changer on my scoring jobs!
Been searching for a thorough video tutorial for Alchemy for so long! Great content, well explained. Def subbing.
Great introduction, nice and clear, good volume, clear speaking, good flow and explanations. Thank You.
Hey Music Tech Help Guy, God bless you for all the time you spend to educate who knows how many people, hundreds, thousands, millions...

I´m so glad you made a tutorial on Alchemy aswell - It´s my new top five synth!
It's 2024, still very useful. Thanks
Great job...as a teacher and youtube presenter I really appreciate the lightness of presentation clarity of material and and humour...only good stuff
My man, thank you for all of your videos - You are such an excellent teacher. I bought Omnisphere but actually have been favoring Alchemy & the ES-2 because your tutorials are so good so I can understand how to use them better. Thanks very much!!
You made the envelope crystal clear for me, now it's embedded. Thank you!!
The discussion of using Key Switches to Morph between Snapshots/Zones/Scenes at about 17' was great. Thanks
Your videos are great. I learned so much. Looking forward to see the next one.
Simply seeing this video in the subscriptions page made my evening complete, thanks! Haven't even watched a second yet but can still tell this is going to be helpful!
+Niruth Good to hear! This is one of the best additions to LPX so far! Alchemy is amazing! It has everything!
Thank you so much for this video and the whole Alchemy series you did. You do a great job of explaining what everything is and how to use it and the bit on automation at the end really helped me a lot. Keep making videos!
Awesome tutorials, best on youtube! Learning about so many cool details. Thanks you!!!
This really helped things click for me in my head. I have trouble learning until someone explains things in a way I understand and you nailed it! Massive cheers dude!
Ah man music tech guy thx bredren...Plus your style of teaching is the perfect speaking pace..👍🏾
Amazing plugin. It's like an Apple version of the omnisphere
Dude you are great at explaining things. Very Clear.
Dude! You are amazing. Thank you! Seriously, Apple should be paying you for all your tutorials on Logic Pro.
hi, very pleased to see that you update the tutorial, hoping to see a more detailed Alchemy Tutorial, I especially want to learn how to use Alchemy to design Drum sounds, how to get more impact of the heavy Bass ???
You can put your own sounds into apple alchemy, and you can also import exs sampler sounds right into it as well. That is a miscommunication in the tutorial
no question, you are THE best out there man, really appreciate all your fantastic tips & wizardry....! nice things.....
A wonderful synth and a wonderful demo ! Regards, Chris
I waited so long for this. LOVE this guy
Very Nice explanation. 👋 from France. I Will follow all yours tips.
0:41 "This series is gonna take probably 3 or 4 videos".
My man made 13 videos about it. Don't underestimate the power of this Alchemy haha
Great video! Can't wait to actually be able to find Alchemy on Logic (just got my computer yesterday) and try it out. I'll be watching more of your videos.
Learned a lot from your video! Easy to understand the concept, thank you!!
Thanks a lot for starting these series man!

sometimes for examples a dubstep wobble keeps beginning at different times. how do I sync it to the tempo of the song?
Thanks for making these videos man. Very clutch.
Great help sir, thank you very much 🙏
I can't seem to control within the different zones via my midi keyboard. I've selected C1 and then press C# on my keyboard but no movement in Alchemy
Amazing tutorial
hi can u tell us litle idea about how did produce ur intro music.......it asm?
Great videos bro. Thank you for the knowledge.
hello my friend. we meet again. just watched to whole Logic Pro series. now I'm gonna watch this series. #MusicTechHelpGuy4President!
God I constantly have the feeling I owe this guy money or something... such quality teaching for free, this shit should be illegal.
I don't recall you addressing the official function of the Decay Knob.
Thanks for this! You made my day
In the mid part of this video you were switching from zone to zone how are you doing that ?
i didn’t get modwheel setting can you pls help me? can we control from our midi?
I need some more presets for my alchemy and could someone please tell me how to install them please.
Brilliant Insight !!!
You can also use your own samples in Alchemy. Not sure if he went over it in this video.
He seems to imply you can't but as you said you can.
Do you know a way to play a single note on a pad and have it sustain indefinitely until the next single note played? Like the Latch function of an arpeggiator, but for a single droning note. Amazing tutorial, thanks man!
the presets never show up for me, and the addition content option also doesn't exist for me, any ideas?
Just what i need. thanks so much.
Idk but.. mine has only sub category, genre and timbre under BROWSER.. can you tell me why
Could not open the file Alchemy/Libraries/WaveNoise/White.wav please solve this
Great job - really, really clear!
pls make tutorial on how to remove the pops
my browse window isn't working I have to use the factory default drop down window can you help?
Great tutorial, I had no idea that latch automation was a thing!
How do you record multiple tracks with alchemy if you're using a drum machine how do I set the midi channels
These tutorials are awesome, thank you. Have you done one on how to control Alchemy with an external keyboard? I cannot get it to work at all. Seems like it should be simple but no dice. Thanks.
Great tutorial. But tell me; how do you keep from going into a transcendental state while playing with the Alchemy parameters so much that you don’t get any real music made?
Hallo from germany, i need your advice! Iam thinking of buying native instruments massive, but is it neccessary if you already have alchemy? Does massive have something that alchemy has not? thanks a lot!

Who is Chris? I think you're commenting on the wrong video.

I just have a blank screen when I open mine!!!!
The sounds are there, but the interface is not there at all.
Hit 'file' and then 'initialize preset' to get the basic patch up
thx for your tutorial series man! 🙏
Do you know if all the sound banks Camel Audio used to offer on their website for Alchemy are still available somewhere for sale? There were some amazing contributions by different sound designers.
+Ernest Grouns have you found this
on alchemy I've have dowloaded all of the sound library but no library of sounds is shown, used to work but not anymore please help
The intro is amazing , should be a complete song
Nevermind I had a copy of a 4 bar region on track 1 and had that track strip open instead of track 2. That's why I couldn't automate. Thanks...
Thanks for making this video series! I'm wondering where you got some of your patches like Dream Time Traveler and Awakening. Were they created by you or are there good places to download more patches?

I'm having the same issue - I cannot record the key changes with Alchemy like he's doing in the video
What is the short cut of the repeat he did? I know that's cmd+R but never helps to repeat the automation? somebody helps??
If I don't see any presets, can someone tell me how to get them?
thank you mate went through most of your videos appreciate it, but i am having problem with my logic pro plugging i can't successfully download the plugging for example i can't find batter4 plugging pls help thank you
