Man I went to school for 2 years at Full Sail got a bachelors in audio production. Your videos teach me so much more than school ever did. I appreciate this channel don't ever stop man! You're a beast
My favorite part of these tutorials are how they aren’t just “hacks” for your music or a single producer’s way of doing things that they present as the only way to do it... this technique alone really helped me understand some major principles of compression and expansion and can be used in so many situations. I immediately thought of a track I have where the lead guitar needs to sit above a bit, and this would work perfectly!
Nice use of the expander. I've been ducking the music for a while to get it out of the way, but not expanding the vocals, and that's the key to making this really work!
i really like the way you did for track stacks and submix! nice organize! love the way you did side chaining! super powerful tips! thanks for your great video!
Yes! I'm understanding and more and more the impact of summing and sidechaining. Thanks also for the tip on the expander. My mixes are getting closer to a professional level. Your tips are saving me an SAE tuition debt!
great videos dude!!!!! Ive spent the last couple of days watching everything on here and its been an eye opener on so many subjects!!!! thanks a lot for your content.
Hi Chris, this is great help for me. Thanks for your channel. I just have one question about using of expander: when you use it for vocal, do I need to put also to all my backup vocals or use a sub bus for all vocals?
Thanks for this helpful discussion of your workflow. Selective expansion as demonstrated looks like a big time saver compared with manual volume automation. Inspiring content. Thank you.
Cool video. Is there no concern that you are dynamically increasing the volume of the vocal when the music is louder even when the vocal is already loud? Seems like it would make more sense to raise the volume of the quieter vocals?
You could accomplish something similar with the stock Multipressor plugin, set it up so only 2 or 3 bands are getting compressed, and then set individual compression amounts for each band, as well.
Im so lost. can you do a video on how you set your mix up. I think what I'm confused about is why input is set as bus 8 How and why should you do this? I would really appreciate any feedback Im so so confused at the moment. sorry if my question isn't coming across clearly
Would you be interested in making a video about color coding projects to make it look better and to help the flow of the session. I’d really like to see a video like that. And btw thanks for opening my eyes to like 90% of what I was missing using logic
Preferences > Display > Tracks, set Color to Auto Progress 24 or 96. This will auto color all new tracks in this way. Or choose colors you like for the same track types and save those as a Project template (for ex 8 vocal tracks green, drums tracks orange, etc etc). Hope that helps
A great video again. Presumably though you would only use one or the other of these tools in a project, but not both? If engineers user both expansion and compression in a sub mix then for what would be the reason? Thanks.
I would avoid sending your drums to the submix if your going to sidechain the vocals to it, its better to have something in the mix thats keeping a regular volume (Drums).
that’s how i do it too. have a drum bus which gets untouched by any vocal side-chaining and then a bus with all other instruments that i side chain vocals to. i think a regular compressor is a bad way to do it though. i prefer a multiband compressor or dynamic eq. more recently i’ve started using trackspacer and liking the results of that even more especially with the m/s processor engaged.
You are a great teacher and Logic expert, but as a beginner and German speaking I do understand much, but not everything. I don’t know and understand the things with buses and side chaining. I do not understand how I can route all the instruments to a track called „music“ so that I can make all the music mor silent when the vocals come in ...

Hope you kept the receipt.
Get your money back
I've never had a use for an expander.... until today. Thanks, Chris!

As always writing a comment to support the channel
Man your channel is a Gold Mine. Thanks for the free teaching!!!

WOW THANK YOU ! YOU JUST FIXED EVERYTHING THAT I WAS STRUGGLING WITH
great videos dude!!!!! Ive spent the last couple of days watching everything on here and its been an eye opener on so many subjects!!!! thanks a lot for your content.
Wow! I knew the compressor trick but that expansion trick is genius.. Great stuff man!
I've never used the expander. Now I'll be all over it!

Excellent demo. JPMusic.
Thanks for this helpful discussion of your workflow.

Inspiring content. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video bro!
Really helpful. Thank you.
Thank you for this. Is there a video on using external hardware on the mix or mastering bus
So this song is really cool to hear
EXCELLENT video!
It was very useful for me. A different area has been opened to use expander. Thanks.
Thanks Chris ! Do you ever do both in the same instance?
Cool video. Is there no concern that you are dynamically increasing the volume of the vocal when the music is louder even when the vocal is already loud? Seems like it would make more sense to raise the volume of the quieter vocals?
Super helpful and succinct explanation. Thanks!
winner. thanks Chris!
Great tips again. Thanks
This is great! Thanks for this one
Really like what you’re doing here
Super helpful. As always.
Wavesfactory Trackspacer can be great for this too. Cool video!
THIS. IS. AWESOME. Thank you a TON!!!!
Great vid. Do you have a vid that breaks down how to sidechain multiple vocals like you did them to bus 8 in this vid?
Waves F6 is great (better imo) for that first trick. Only cutting frequencies rather than compressing whole mix.
You could accomplish something similar with the stock Multipressor plugin, set it up so only 2 or 3 bands are getting compressed, and then set individual compression amounts for each band, as well.
Todd Ferguson yep
Money Chanel $$$$. Thanks for the expander tip. That will save time from automation 💯💯👌🏿👌🏿
Great tip
Thanks Chris, I always wondered how or why to use an expander. Was that a Hip-Hop / Reggae track? Sounded pretty good.
Im so lost. can you do a video on how you set your mix up. I think what I'm confused about is why input is set as bus 8 How and why should you do this? I would really appreciate any feedback Im so so confused at the moment. sorry if my question isn't coming across clearly
great!, btw, do you have a video on spacetracker?
Fantastic I think this is great.
ROCK ACUSTIC GENRE YOU TEMPLATE.....
Thanks

Jeroen van Olffen dam thanks a lot man 🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Nice!
i do it with the Logic-Gate "Ducker", sidechained by all Vox. I think, the result is the same
A great video again. Presumably though you would only use one or the other of these tools in a project, but not both? If engineers user both expansion and compression in a sub mix then for what would be the reason? Thanks.
Yes, he's suggesting one or the other not both at same time
@@JeroenvanOlffen Thanks Jeroen.

Has this song been released?
I'm unclear, do you use both of these at the same time or pick one?
Pick one

I do not understand how I can route all the instruments to a track called „music“ so that I can make all the music mor silent when the vocals come in ...
Willi Veider you set the output field in logic, or you can use a summing track stack.
huh, that's cool!
I sure wish I could find good instructional content with some decent music being mixed!!!!
Sooo... pink
That’s not a lost voice .
This aint it
