5-Minute Logic Expert: Part 6 of 30
Recording at the right volume comes down to 2 things:
1) not recording too loud and clipping
2) recording in the "digital sweet spot"

When I think all the help you gave me with gb, after this video I want to buy logic and start a new chapter because I know this series will help me with logic too! :)
Go for it! I only used Garage band on my phone, so upgrading to logic was like going from elementary school to collage 😂 but after a year of self teaching on/off I finally got pretty comfortable and, now I’m really able to use it! Constantly still finding tons of new things, and adjusting the way I work on projects by finding things like shortcuts or even new stuff I didn’t know was there! The Midi Fx section of logic alone is worth a million dollars to me, it’s crazy how much Logic gives you for only 200!!!!
That means a lot, man! I'd bet you're in a place where you'd love logic!
Hey Colin...ya did it again...clearly explained and clearly better than the others...thx
Thanks for another exceptional and easy to understand video 😎
Great advice. One good reason for not recording too soft particularly with microphones is that it is not unusual to get at least some background noise and any increase in gain later amplifies that as well. I have found noise gates to be far from perfect at eliminating even relatively quiet background noise relative to the recorded sound. Too often they either chop off too much of the recorded sound, particularly vocals, and even with lot of time spent on adjusting their attack, release and threshold I have found myself sometimes just chopping out the sections with only background noise. This is mostly a problem in the home recording situation but even in studios if a vocalist likes to listen to the backing quite loud in the headphones sensitive mics often get some spill from that.
Good tip, thank you @johnvender
Nice. No no one has ever explained it that simply and directly. I’m always struggling with level balance, eq and compression. Thanks!
Sounds like something from an 80's movie , Teens walking around the school by the lockers sporting the trendy fashions .. Fast Times at Ridgemont High or something. Eddie Money, The Cars, early 80s Tom Petty or some sh17. 👍🏻
Just learned more in seven minutes than the last seven years - thank you!
🙌🏼🙌🏼 That's high praise, man! Thank you!
This was really helpful and so clear. Last time I recorded vocals I used the VU Meter. The Peak & RMS Level Meter seems to me to be more accurate. I am getting ready to record some vocals for a project and will definitely use this Level Meter. Thanks Colin.
Glad it was helpful!
Yeah. I’ve never been clear on RMS levels. Big help!!!!
Happy to help!
This may sound like a dumb question but....I take it that this process only works at the original recording phase setting levels for recording at the outset and the input volume controls cannot adjust this after recording. If the numbers are too high the answer is to rerecord after turning down volume on the interface?
Only if the peak number hits zero!
Colin, if we use the stock Level Meter in Logic, as you recommend here, does this mean we do not need, eg. our old friend mvMeter2 (as used in GarageBand)?
I really like distortion but it seems like it’s a lot harder to mix this sound then non distorted. Any idea why that is and what needs to be done to fix it?
I uninstalled Logic and installed again. Now, I cannot see anything on my recording. Just a straight line. The audio is very low when I play through logic. But when I listen with Quicktime, it is so loud and has fuzz. No clue what is going on.
Do you have something similar for GarageBand? This looks like a great idea to me.
Thanks
I do! ruclips.net/video/DB_Ez0L8IfM/видео.html
@@TheBandGuide Thanks dude!
When recording guitars do use pre fader metering to see how hot the signal is before it hits your plugins?
