Excellent video, you really make this understandable. Often in Logic things can seem extremely difficult and confusing until someone like yourself explains it in the right way.
if you record a vinyl EDM record into logic it will drift over the length of the track. For example a six minute EDM vinyl track will drift around 7 to 8 seconds. At 5:55 he shows that just adding one of those transient markers every eight bars will quantize it correctly.
I cannot get the quantization feature to work. I’m new to the technology and sometimes terminology that’s used in these new technologies. I need some help quantizing and following your demonstration is not working.
thanks for the help brotha! quick question if you dont mind. Im using logic to time my vocals and trying out Flex Time - Monophonic with Quantize to put them on time. they seem to be all on time and still sound natural. Is this a good practice or should I still to manually timing vocals?
Hey Hazel, great question. I think the best judge is always your ears, so if you think it does sound realistic and still ok, then I'd definitely do it that way. Often, I will do the automatic way first and then use manual tools to fine tune it wherever it doesn't sound good. I find this can be far faster than going through everything manually. It does depend on style though. If it was a pop track or EDM track, I'd use auto tools and fine tuning tweaks all the time. Jazz vocal? Maybe not, that style often relies on a very authentic performance, so I'll only tweak it manually where needed.
What if a I drag an MP3 file in there where the BPM changes throughout the track, will quantizing work to make that track play at a single BPM throughout the track?
There is a Logic Pro function that can detect the BPM of a track, so it will match the BPM to that track's detected BPM, which I believe you can set to sensitivity. So you could say try and match it close to every bar, then you could quantise the bar's beats with flex time.
I have a desperate question! When u turn on flex mode u see the lines and the track goes all dark. But sometimes u can’t see the lines and it’s back light blue. Is there a way to switch in and out of that? Thnx
Hey, no problems. It's a bit hard without seeing it to know exactly what's happening, but there is a flex time button you can turn on and off, meaning it shows and hides the flex timing. It looks like a sideways hour glass if that makes sense, the icon is of a clip being twisted on itself. That can be turned on and off to show and hide the flex time edits in either the track workspace or the audio editor. Hope this helps.
Hey, sounds like it might not be in polyphonic mode. If it is in slicing mode, it would sound like it is skipping. Also, if it says (Automatic) next to it, change it specifically to polyphonic. Sometimes I've noticed that Logic says it is in poly mode but it is really in slicing, but setting it manually to poly mode helps correct that.
I'm afraid not when it comes to the quick version. Logic will outline what it thinks are transients and then you can double click to get rid of them or add another one to refine it further.
Hey, I'm not sure what you mean, but you might be referring to the markers either side of the marker you are moving. I use those to "protect" the transients of those two points and avoid moving the waveform out of time before and after the marker I am moving. If you don't have markers either side of the one you are moving, then when you move that one the whole wave form will shift, pushing everything else out of time.
@@StephenOConnellCmdShiftNew I was referring to the option in beat mapping. Lets say i beat map every beat in bar 1 and 2. Then i make a correction at beat 2 in bar 1. It seems that all the other markers after then move slightly. You would think that is what it is for? To prevent that.
Be warned. Flex Time will degrade the quality of your audio. If that’s important to you. Good for demos. Don’t use it on a master recording unless you really really don’t have any other options. Absolutely don’t use it on your final mix.
Indeed, it definitely can, the further you push it the more noticeable too. Melodyne can be a good solution if you are getting too many artefacts, as its algorithm handles it better.
Oh boy 🤦♂️ I thought my accent maybe gave it away, but incase you don't realise, there are different versions of the English language (and spelling) from around the world, such as in England 🤣

This video is extremely useful and extremely well executed including left and right directions :)
One of the better if not the best tutorial I have seen on this topic. Keeps me from diving back and forth to Pro tools, hahaha.
The best video I have watched on this topic

You're very welcome! Glad you liked it.
Thanks man !! simple and clear !!
Cheers, glad it helped!
Really a great video. Basically the only one you need to see on Flex Time (doesn't include Flex Pitch)
Hey, thanks for this great tutorial you made! You explain things so well and thoroughly, and it really helped me a lot! Liked and subscribed!
Nice refresher - liked and subbed. Thanks!

Great example of another way to use this!
THANK YOU. This was super helpful!
Great video
Thank you so much! Subscribed.
Thank you ❤❤❤
Thank you very much. Love your videos and the way you explain the points. You help me a lot. Cheers
Literally, I've spent hours trying to do this and just stumpled across this...thankyou so much 🎉😅
Thanks, that was awesome.
Great basic tutorial. Subscribed!
Welcome and thanks for joining!
thank u so much, I tried it and boom 😍
THANK. YOU. 🙏

GOOD VIDEO BRO!
Great video. You did a great job explaining logic pro x flex tool. Thank you.
genius, my boy
nice
V helpful. Excellent video. Thank you
Excelente video, thank you so much.
thanks a lot. that's what I'm looking for ;)
Thanks a lot!

Hi. Please, can you help me, I want change the bpm of the project without the audio track skipping ! How can I do that !? Thank you

Is there any control over what Logic chooses as transients?
I'm afraid not when it comes to the quick version. Logic will outline what it thinks are transients and then you can double click to get rid of them or add another one to refine it further.
Does anyone know what Protect flex markers mean?

🤣 I mean, it might be obvious from listening to me why I spell it differently...

Not sure I'd take advise from someone that spells 'quantize' incorrectly!😂
