Thank you so much. I’m an experienced musician, but know nothing about recording. I’ve had the gear for ages, but techno-fear has kept me in procrastination mode. You’re allowing me to unlock this, and I really can’t thank you enough. 🙏🏻🎻😎
The best logic tutorial ever. I learned a lot from the whole series in the past and watching the beginners guide to recap some things is cool. Thx a lot
His Videos are amazing, He speaks very clearly (not very fast, also not very slow) so it is very easy for non English speakers like me to understand what he is talking about, and his explanations are very precise and clear, it just gave a direct information into your head, which makes us remember more things. This is a perfect video for the absolute beginner. He is also very Professional. Thanks Man !!!1
Three years ago I got a MAC, LPX, the Focusright and a $20 midi input keyboard. Thanks to this channel (and many hours spent on it) I am now coming up on the end of my third album and I'm proud to say that I feel the sound quality holds up. I mean, there's still things I'd like to improve but I am satisfied. Now the process is really starting to speed up. Thanks for everything Josh, I would never have accomplished this without you. Guys, if you're trying to figure out how to proceed with finally getting your songs done up, listen to this man! I knew absolutely nothing about home recording. Followed these tutorials (using my own recordings) and in just a few weeks (about 50-60 hours a week of work mind you but...) I was amazed at what I had. I've barely listened to anything but my own stuff for three years now haha I just can't believe it exists now and how quickly Josh got me there! I'll have to send you my first two discs when they are done. Oh, I did put a couple here on RUclips if anyone wants to listen, it's all done with what you see in this video and following my MusicTechGuruGuy! I'm about to go over it all again in the 202 series which I'm behind on but anxious to get into.
@@gilb.5710 I'm using MidiPlus AKM320. It has 2 octaves worth of keys that can be transposed or octave adjusted. Also has a pitch wheel and a modulation wheel. I got it on eBay or Amazon for twenty bucks and it's great for midi entry.
Dude, I really enjoy your video. I know it’s hard to keep up with videos as a YT creator and you have been pumping out awesome videos all of the time and you make new videos when needed when there is a new update! That’s my favorite part about this channel you stay current. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for taking the time to make these tutorials, it’s super helpful because it can be overwhelming trying to get started. Nice simple and easy to understand videos. Subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos.
You can find a macbook pro 11 or 12 that can upgrade the ram and the hard drive for optimal performance for 350 vs 2000. The macbooks after 2013 have soldered the ram in.
Before I got my 2018 MacBook Pro I had a 2011 than ran great! Upgraded to an SSD and RAM. I'm actually still running a 2010 Mac Pro tower that runs great!
Awesome!! Some details there that I still didn’t know! Great to see it all in order and at least I know I’ve not been doing too bad until now either 😄🌹
New to all of this but have a decent laptop..... difficult to determine exactly what I need but I liked this(thumbed UP) & I'm moving to the next video of yours. Hope to "Get a Clue" after a few of these ....... peace
Just started watching your Logic Pro X series again now for the third time. Thank you so much man -- I think you're the most helpful guy on RUclips. Quick question if you have time.... do you know why I can't just click to change/enter the tempo (bpm) in the top menu bar ? I used to be able to do it. Now, I get this drop down slider that I have to adjust... I am running 10.4.4. Maybe some preference I need to set up ? ps The Drummer plug-in lessons were really helpful.
hey man Im an absolute begginner to home recording and logic etc... What do you recommend me to watch first? Logic pro X 101? Logic pro X 201? other playlist?
I have this setup but for some reason when I record the put levels are fine. Then once I stop recording the audio track seems to massively reduce the volume of the track so it is nearly audible?
Thank you so much for the great videos! Subscribed. One thing I can't seem to figure out, though -- are there any guidelines for what the target meter level should be when recording electric guitar in Logic? I'm using a Steinberg UR12 into Logic and am seeing input levels up to like -9dB when I set the UR12 gain to just below clipping, around nine o'clock on the input gain knob. This gets up to about -5 or -6dB if I record to a track that has a preset applied to it in Logic. Will those levels be a problem when mastering a track (not enough headroom)? I'm no engineer, as you can tell. Thank you again, and peace! :)
I have to ask.. how deep are those backwall diffusion panels? Did you custom build it? And how effective do you think it is for your space? :) appreciate it! Keep up the good content bro!
Hi i love your videos great content and greatly appreciate your help. How can I get vocals simular to blink 182 in the way they edit them, if you listen to the track aliens exist, toms voice sounds natural but well polished, maybe it's harmonized? Thanks
Hi I was wondering do you have a video on Mastering with Logic's Multimeter I have two audio tracks in Logic Pro X 1. MP3 audio backing track 2.audio guitar for live guitar playing I been told to better fit my guitar tone in to the backing track I need to Make sure your gain levels are balanced as well before boosting the signal in Logic. Please any videos on this idea?
Hi Josh, thanks for the video. What version of logic pro are you using? Mine is 10.4 and I'm not getting the same screens and double click responses that you are. Stumped. Thanks
Liked and subbed - looking forward to viewing the rest of the series. Question - if one is recording "mono", does one really need two monitors instead of one?
Recording mono and mixing mono are two different things. Even if you record with only one mic, there might still be stereo elements in your mix. Panning, reverbs, delays, modulation effects,etc. you need 2 speaker’s
I can hear my microphone audio in the headphones but can’t hear the Instrument audio. Computer isn’t Recording my microphone audio even though I pressed record. I followed every step so I’m not sure why this still isn’t working.
Which MacBook Pro do you use and what are the specs for it? Logic Pro X has been around awhile now. Do you think they will move to XI in the near future?
Everyone shows me the same thing and I don't know what's going on I've done everything and it won't record monitor at all! I'm running out of things to try. Someone help me! I Have Logic Pro X 10.4 and Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface. My system settings are all set and it shows that it's working but I'm getting no sound or actual visual connection on Logic.
Thanks for tutorials. Followed your tutorial and trying to record vocals and guitar via Logic Pro X, Scarlett 18i8, macbook pro laptop. Guitar sounds great but mic volume/response is almost nil. I have a new Rode NT1-A microphone. Tried different inputs on Scarlett but no go. What do you think could be the problem?
I'm unable to hear my audio track through my monitor headphones. I have the phones plugged into my apogee quartet. I can hear the white noise in the phones but no music. When I switch back from phones to speaker option on the quartet, nothing comes through the phones, it just stays playing through the speakers. Any suggestions would be helpful! Trying to set up a home studio on my own. Thank you!
Awesome guide, just my opinion, but I think a Mac is not your best choice anymore, not nowadays... You're way better off with a Windows 10 + REAPER combo, both of them are exploding in popularity in the recent years.
Logic is $200 a year? Or one time? I got mixed up with how he said it. He said a one time fee and than he said pro tools were $1000 a year than he said logic was just $200. Just trying to clarify.
One time. I paid 200 back in 2013, I’ve gotten all the upgrade for logic x since then on that single payment. Also you can download it on to like 5 computers per Apple ID I think.
MusicTechHelpGuy whoever told you that? It affects mine, that’s the whole point in using it to get levels right prior recording right? Also I think I didn’t clarify, I mean during recording. It’s been a bit of a riddle but I think it’s down to the software for my interface to change the individual things while live recording without affecting anything. Thank you for the reply.
@@georgewotigbah8528 Who told me that? 15+ years of being a professional recording engineer told me that. Mic preamp gain, and adjusting the volume level on a fader in your DAW are two VERY different things. You have to set your preamp gain first to get levels, then you 'trim' the volume in the DAW when mixing, but if you're just tracking and the singer can't hear themself very well (and you're not using a separate monitoring system or headphone cues), then just pull up the volume fader up for the vocal track that you're recording so they can hear themself better, then pull it back down when you're done recording. Adjusting your volume fader in your DAW does NOT affect the recording/mic level. It just raises or lowers the recorded volume of the level that you've already set with your mic preamp gain (or preamp gain on your interface). You never use your DAW faders to set recording levels.
MusicTechHelpGuy MusicTechHelpGuy ah ok, sorry I came across like an A hole. I didn’t mean to patronise, I actually watch your videos to help me with logic, they’re super helpful. Don’t hold my frustration against me ha. So it won’t clip if I turn it up through the DAW even though it will go into red? I get confused when it comes to the desperate monitoring system or headphone cues. Is there anywhere I could get help for this in the way you explain things? I have a Scarlett 6i6 with two separate headphone outputs and volumes but it doesn’t seem to have a simple way of changing separate tracks while recording. I found that the focusrite control helps but there isn’t much play with the volume. Thank you again for your help, the way you have explained will hopefully sort out my issue.
If you’re using the built in mic on your computer or a USB mic that might be the problem. Especially built in mics. They’re not meant for music recording
Hello Music Tech Help Guy, Can You Please Answer This Question Above Please? ^^ Im Having The Same Issue And I Need Help Myself. If You Could Help Us Both Out We’d Appreciate It

Do you have a video on how to set up a midi controller (alesis) to Logic Pro ?
Love this guy
Really good, except that no sound is coming out of my headphones (new). I have no idea what to do.

These videos are so helpful, thank you.
real clear explanations. thanks
ive been doing this for years but i still consider myself a beginner
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for this video. Imma make a million. God bless - +ENERGY (Plus)

hey man Im an absolute begginner to home recording and logic etc... What do you recommend me to watch first? Logic pro X 101? Logic pro X 201? other playlist?
If you know how to do an hackintosh then you can run logic on windows hardware since they bog their shit down with windows 10 on a DOS II chassis

Turn on phantom power (48v) and pull up the gain on the interface.
You also might need to change the input in the focusrite app to switch the input from instrument level to mic level.
Can I have an adapter for the focus to a MIDI?

TheSingingRN is input monitoring turned on in your DAW?

Turn up the channel fader for the vocals in your DAW. The volume in the DAW doesn’t affect the mic recording level.

Paul Bruno yes

MusicTechHelpGuy thanks for replying i’m using a Sampson condenser mic never had this problem with garage band I wonder if it’s one of my settings
do you think the 2018 macmini with i5 6 core is good for this version of Logic Pro X?
That 6 core i5 is plenty good for Logic or any kind of music software you’re running. You shouldn’t run into any CPU issues at all.
i can only hear vocals from the left side of my headphones idk what i did wrong
You created a stereo track. Change the format of the channel to mono.
1:34 WRONG! Reaper is cheaper. Either free version or one payment for 80€.
i wish part two was already out cause i am struggling with my sound producing a robot like sound. i need help seriously it shouldnt sound like this.
Hello Music Tech Help Guy,
Can You Please Answer This Question Above Please? ^^ Im Having The Same Issue And I Need Help Myself. If You Could Help Us Both Out We’d Appreciate It
Reaper $60 if you make less than $20k from your music $200 if you make more
what headphone do you recommend guys?
Audio Technica M40x or the M50x
thanks, what about Sony MDR-XB500?
MDR 7506 will pretty much do.
!!!!
I love this video details.
