🙌🏼🙌🏼 Thanks, brother!
Great advice for transitioning from GarageBand to Logic. The drums capabilities in Logic are truly mindblowing, no other DAW comes anywhere near. The ability to use your own samples in the kits can be very handy.
Agreed, John!
These GB to Logic videos are really helpful. I haven’t made the switch yet but I’m seeing many reasons I would want to. I’m still a bit afraid since I’ve been working with GB for 8 years now. But these help me see the efficiencies I can gain. Thanks Colin!
I'm glad they're helpful, Tom! I know from the songs I've heard after you went through the mixing course that you're a PERFECT candidate to switch to Logic! Also, that course is going to be getting more Logic content added (for free) this year 🤫
You're really selling me on upgrading to Logic, my man.
I found Logic so complicated because I learned everything on GarageBand. But you’re a literal hero in conversation and explanation. I’ll give credit for my first single lol. This helped me so fucking much. Thank you.
Great stuff as always Col 🙏
Thanks for making the transition not such a daunting prospect! 👍
Thank you Colin, very helpful as ever.
I’d love to learn more about bus, sends and general parallel processing. It’s a concept that I still do not understand but seems important.
Great tips! I may be in this spot within a few months.
Great video and lots of useful info regarding the decision about whether to transition from GarageBand to Logic 😎
I've been following you for so long and finally made the switch to Logic. Please, please, please do some tutorials on Logic mixing. If you could do a series on a complete mix of a song like you did for GB - static mix, eq&comp, etc. - step by step showing the Logfic plugins you use and your technique that would be AMAZING!!!!
😏 🤫
@@TheBandGuide YESSSS. So exciting! I would never have made my first album without you, man. did it all on GB following all your steps. Thank you so much for everything you do. Your work is imporant!
I totally agree
Agree!
Hi Colin, another great video, thank you. I’ve discovered so much about GarageBand over the years thanks to you. I had a version of Logic years ago on an old MacBook but it got “lost”. Seriously considering getting it again (finances have improved for me recently) and this video had definitely helped nudge me towards it.
still a fledgling at the DAW world but just starting to dabble with Logic. very helpful info. using the bus for effects is great and additionally allows you to EQ the effects. thanks man.
Bro these videos are insanely helpful! Just swithced and now I can still learn from you😭🙏❤️✊🏾
Great overview of USABLE functions and features. Thanks.
You're welcome, John!
Yes please more drum Content please
GarageBand (with Colin's guidance) is excellent for learning the basics and keeping the distractions to a minimum. That being said, I wish I'd have upgraded to Logic earlier to get the five things mentioned here. I was afraid it would be a resource hog on my Intel MacBook but I see literally no issues with performance and the workflow improvements are a huge time saver.
Been looking for the cross fade for weeks, but never found it. Thanks for showing! Upgraded to Logic about a month ago and I will absolutely follow your excellent tutorials.
Awesome, man! I'm glad it was helpful!
Great stuff! Also - a great crossfade shortcut for tracks with lots of cuts (like vocals) is highlight then control+option+X. And you can you can adjust any length you like (I mostly use 6ms)
so I have loaded logic and taken a project across for a bit of a play. I think the use of buses is the foreign thing at the moment so a beginners guide on using buses either fro scratch or with Gb projects would be great.
For years I tried to bring my songs from Garage band to Logic. They all sounded like clicks and buzzes. Musictechelpguy
figured out my dilemma. Change the buffer size. I was moving a complete song into Logic with the standard buffer size of 32.
I know for sure you had to do that with the song you just showed us.
That's very interesting! I had never heard of that specific issue. I didn't manually set it for this song, but I typically keep mine at the highest buffer size unless I'm recording, so it was probably already set pretty high.
One thing I’m loving about switching is even after months I still haven’t looked through all the stock plugins and vsts and loops. It’s MASSIVE!🎉
Fun thing I recommend for people is to just open a new instrument track and choose any synth, in the top left area near the power button the arrows will let you sift through presets or you can click on the name and pick them out! I’ve spent hours before just tweaking presets/patches, so fun. Then you can also save the tweaks you made as a new patch and have your own unique sounds to create a template with! 🙏
YES! I love it.
I just downloaded it last week and I am so nervous/excited about the transition. GarageBand spoiled me but I really want to get deeper into recording and mixing and I feel like this is the next step and watching these videos helps with confidence of making this change.
Do the plugins I used in GarageBand automatically transfer over? (Waves. melda. Voxengo etc.)
This is great stuff to help a garage bander make the move which I am about to do! I have a question about my 3rd party plugins that I installed on Gb (including Waves which we have just about forgiven...). Can I bring them across to Logic easily and if so how?
I have been recording with GarageBand for several years and I just upgraded to Logic. Have you ever done a video on Buses, Auxes, Sends, and Returns? Love the videos!
I haven't! But I definitely will!
Oh one more question. The plug-ins that I’ve purchased through Waves will also work on Logic?
Hi Colin, thanks for this. One of the things I noticed when I open a GB project with LP is that there is no Stereo Out track. I noticed that on you example as well. There is a Master Track but no Stereo Out. Are they the same?
I think I know the answer to this but when I switch to record in logic pro my Mac always freezes or crashes by stopping. I assume I don't have the RAM for it?

I have it! I also Downloaded a few others. Very helpful. Thanks
I noticed every time I open a GB song into logic a delay between the drummer region and the rest of the song (in Logic). I now easily correct this by adding a negative delay to the Logic Drummer Regions (between -120 et -160 tics setting) . I know now this but I spent a long time to find a way to fix it...
Did you already experienced this ?
Whoa... I've never heard of this! Have you seen this with song you're creating new in Logic too? Or just ones from GB sessions?
Only when imported from GB (but everytime) @@TheBandGuide
Question....If you open a GarageBand project in Logic...Will you end up with two songs on your computer?????
Yep! You'll have a GarageBand session and a Logic session
@@TheBandGuide Thanks...I guess I could either start in Logic or delete the GB version....don't want to fill up my computer.
Great video, really helpful, but please talk a little slower, would be easier when trying to take it in, rather than watching several times, viewers just think nah, stay with who i normally watch, shame really. Try explaining the why and the how a bit more slowly, and maybe a bit more in depth, would make your channel the go to for help and support 🙂👍
Colin, you traitor.
