I sat down and studied this video like a hawk. I watched every mouse movement, replayed many parts and spent so much time watching this video, I'm sure TH-cam algorithm loved it! I also started listening to your podcasts! You cover so many things I do and want to do better. Thank you for sharing your professional expertise so freely, Seth! I hope doing so gets you lots of exposure, lots of work, so you can help many budding musicians, so we all can create awesome music!
This Christmas my family got me a decent microphone because they know I like to dabble in music. I have to say of all the videos I’ve watched on how to use logic Pro. This is by far the best between your recording and mixing series. It was a little tough to find things in logic Pro, but nothing that I couldn’t work out with a little Google. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together. I had so little idea what you could do with vocals beyond just raw recording!!!
How does this not have more likes! This series is EXACTLY what I have been looking for to level up my vocal recording and mixing game in LPX! I am today years old when I realized I had been using the vocal comping the wrong way for years 😅 I know this is several months old, but a quick question: When you are doing your final mixes, do you bus all instrument groups? i.e. vocal to an acapella group like you did here, and then all drums to a bus, all keys to a bus, all guitars to a bus etc? Or do you do 1 Vox 1 Music? Would love to send in the current song I am applying these tips to, y'all still accepting those? Also, hello from a fellow Nashvillian 🙂
I’m just diving into producing my own demos. I’m familiar with logic, but this introduced me to a real world workflow… hand down the most helpful content for getting started with audio production I’ve found on TH-cam to date
I think its the best explained video i’ve seen so far! I know that a good recording is better for mixing, but it would be helpful if u can make a tutorial on how to mix different vocals and some ”fix it when you mixin” for weak and thin vocals.
You are a beast bro and I’ve learned so much from you in this video as I just so happen to stumble across it searching for a mix solution. Man thank you, you have a subscriber for life!
This is exactly the type of video I always hope to find but usually never do. It's made me totally reassess my current workflow and it feels like no stone is unturned. I've usually used melodyne to polish up any vocals but think I'm going to use flex pitch and get to the bottom of what can be achieved with it. Also using so many sends per track is something I'd never really tried so thank you. I know for a fact that this video is going to be a staple in my vocal mixing technique. Everything suggested is so clearly explained. Magic.
thank you boss, me sitting hitting a blont and trynna learn to mix vocals in Logic Pro after producing in Fl studios for 7 years. Crazy how more "easy" it is to record and mix vocals in Logic. I do still like Fl more for instrumental and beats. ty
So, someone might have commented on this before, I don't know. =) But the "strange cutting" in the take folder you mention at about 5:26 in this clip is because you cut off the "top folder" (showing the comp) when putting that first line there. BUT this can easily be saved. Just like you did, you first drag the top track back - and then you click the three little boxes next to the "A". That then becomes a pair of scissors and now you can drag the start of all takes in the take folder. With the "pair of scissors" showing every take in the take folder also can be adjusted in time, clip gained and so on - just like a normal audio region you could say. Then just hit the scissor-cymbol and it returns to the three boxes for comping again. Hope that helped someone =)
This is the first video where I actually understood vocal editing and mixing on Logic Pro. Now, to actually buy the app on my Mac. Thank you Seth! This is a masterclass.
I just found this channel last night.. YEs sir, this is my new dude now.. Bruh, this was outstanding.. I learned so much from this one video.. AND, you did Fix My Eyes in Logic.. YESSSSSSSS!!!! Finally someone that used Logic in a professional setting and it won a grammy.. Wow.. This was outstanding and wow man, I never knew Logic could sound like this.. Did you mix Fix My Eyes in Logic too or Protools.. I can't wait to see more now.. Especially in Logic.. Thank you chief...
@@OfficialFCMusic What else have you done in Logic that made it to the radio or gold etc.. This is interesting.. you are the first one that I've seen that used Logic on a pro level.. I think that is ill.. I was about to or thinking about getting protools cause I thought protools had the industry sound.. thanks man..
Thank you very much for the work that you have put in allowing us all to have a better understanding of the mixing process. Particularly, I enjoyed seeing how to tune vocals using the stock plugins. I feel like that will help me up my game. I can't wait to attempt to put it into practice, once again thank you Seth!
This is just really awesome and helpful. Thank you Seth for this content, it helps a lot to clarify things about the mix process. Again thank you so much.
Super helpful and in-depth! I used to sing in a band called Among The Thirsty, and now I I’m working on my first independent project and editing and mixing vocals has always been a struggle for me. Thank you for posting!!
Magic! You're SO good...and I am so thankful to you that you have taken time to pass on your knowledge to others like myself who really would be clueless without your help as to how Logic X can be used to enhance our tracks. Thank you!!
Great video which helps me a lot. That’s for sure. Moreover this is a very, very good song/chorus. Would be very proud if I was the composer. Love it! However, if I want to apply things to my songs, I‘ll have to watch it more often, especially the automation process towards the end of the video. I can really learn a lot from this video.
It is so helpful to watch you work through the entire process. Thank you so much for making this amazing video!! Question: When you are comp swiping you are able to hit some shortcut and start the song from the same exact playhead position you started with as you move through the different comps in the song. What is the shortcut you are using to start the playhead from the same place again? UPDATE: Figured it out. For others who are curious, right-click or ctrl-click on 'Play' in the Transport Bar, and select "Play From Last Locate Position". This allows you to cycle through sections of the song without the pain in the a$$ of painting a cycle range every time. Now you simply set the playhead, press the spacebar to listen, then press the spacebar to stop; when you press the spacebar again it will automatically start playback from where you initially placed the playhead instead of continuing to play from where you paused. Total gamechanger.
Great video. One thing that was confusing, was the use of pitch correction for monitoring. Not sure how you're using that? On the track you're actually pitch correcting/editing in flex mode? If so how do you hear the small adjustments?
@@OfficialFCMusic Thank you for the reply. Still confused though - is it to monitor the track you're working on? And if so, how do you hear the adjustments you're making?
Hi, do you have a video on how to record your whole screen and the audio of everything from your plug ins to setting up aggregate device on Audio Midi Setup please?
Curious what you mean by this. What is the case use for this? Always into making content that helps people just digging a little more into what you mean by this and what you’re trying to do.
This is so in-depth and amazing! Love the detail you put into every part of the process! I’ve been working on an original and would love to hear your thoughts! I often find my bounces are quieter than the professionally produced tracks. Would this be due to lack of compressors or incorrect bouncing? Also the process of auto pitching and rhythm adjustment are such powerful tools! Thanks for this awesome video! I’d love to send you through one of my songs to see what your advice would be
Hey there. This might seem like a simple question. But what is a simple keyboard short cut for advancing the region (without having to grab the scroll bar with a mouse each time)?
This is such an amazingly precise video, Thank you for sharing, but I'm still unclear on how to cross fade... I have flattened the comp and tried to crossfade but it isn't just working, please help.😭
In logic you need to enable fade tool click zones and then it lets you create cross fades with one click by placing the cursor on a certain spot in the edit region. Easy to figure out once you have that mode enabled
My apologies! I missed you saying the name of the song at the beginning of the video. It’s an amazing song and again, your explanation of mixing is amazing. I’ve been trying to find something as in depth but simple for forever and this got through to me. Will be checking out your other videos
I have a question you mention u can loop an ending of a vocal to make it echo I seen a video of where you used automation to repeat a certain word or phrase in a vocal but I can not find it on which video I seen it this one or how to record the vocals can you please let me know so I can learn that feature
I would typically copy the word onto a new track and put a delay plug-in on it or even just manually place it where I want the echo - typically effect it different too
I love you dude but I wish I could just listen to the video and have to turn down volume every time you press play. I understand you gotta promote but make me a secret mute version 🤣
I wonder how long it will be before AI will take care of literally everything seen in this video - including the singing. Rick Beato has been talking about this on his channel if you want to dive into it some more.
We are indeed up on AI and using it in some ways. Probably will be doing some video content on it soon. We’ve got a long way to go before it takes over all of these roles but it’s certainly something we are watching.
This is great stuff Seth, really intuitive keep these coming. not clear on how you get all those amazing tweaks. That would be a good video to watch. where and how you get this or that. cuz frankly you clip along fast but we have no idea what to click on to get this or that. I guess with time and patience we all will be flying along like Mr. Mosley. Another reason I will rewatch this, is that your voice seams quite common and somewhat uneventful on the first take without any warmup but as you progress you can clearly see where it improves through repetition aswell as the improvement through tuning and treatment of the track. Your suggestions for multi-takes and then comping is brilliant! it quickly turns into an exciting video. witnessing it come to life as you add texture and subtle treatments it grows and blooms, quite amazing actually. No offence but like most of us, you were not blessed with a great God given talent for sining I mean your good enough but not Fredy. however, whatever you lack in natural talent you certainly make up in spades in your Mixing and Production skills, Bravo! No offence but your first take was lack luster and monotone at best but your last mix was kick ass and made my heart go thumpity thump.. .huge difference! Seth huge! ==Donald Trump Voice== Your finished product sounds like the work of a perfectionist without the loss of natural tone & grit and all the chops of a true great vocalist. Frankly I am delighted that this can be done so seamlessly. Gives us hopelessly average vocalists inspiration in our future. also learning these skills is clearly an asset when you are a musician. However I think in the grander scheam of things, I would much rather have you work on my album once I have it written and tracked, I don't have the luxury of time to learn all those fine details and there seams to be a lot of them. One thing you have definitely convinced me of is that, Leaving the final mixing to a Pro like yourself is clearly a no brainer, hope your available in 6 months or so? A Grammy sure would look good over the fire place. Thank You for all this its truly indispensable knowledge. Thom.

Yes we do! Are you interested in it?
Great video. One thing that was confusing, was the use of pitch correction for monitoring. Not sure how you're using that? On the track you're actually pitch correcting/editing in flex mode? If so how do you hear the small adjustments?
Auto tune low latency mode for monitoring
@@OfficialFCMusic Thank you for the reply. Still confused though - is it to monitor the track you're working on? And if so, how do you hear the adjustments you're making?

PLEASE! We need a video on that electric guitar in the chorus! Full. Lush. Clear. Help us out!
Will do!!
Veeeeery helpful 🙌🙌

Great tutorial, I would like to know how much time should it take to mix a song.. or a average time..??
Probably about 6-8 hours all in
Really cool video. Would love to see how you’re zooming in and using the tools so fast. Are you using trackpad for that?
Good job 👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
