Backing vocals don’t need compression? Just wanna be sure
this is what a practicing professional who's also an amazing professor actually looks like, ladies and gentlemen.
Not only would this demonstration be more than adequate as a youtube tutorial, the fact it's a live demonstration and the production values are SO damn high are really amazing. Excellent work to all involved.
The most valuable hour of you tubing I have spent in years. Such an straight to the point and comprehensive class giving me just the tools I have been searching for so long. Many many thanks!
Definitely agree! Sharp and Clean.
bro just condensed my entire college course into about 2-3 hours
SERIOUSLY DUDE????

So in short, I just found out I now know less about Logic Pro than I previously had known. Who knew there was a mix section. Apple gives you a lot of useable features for sound shaping. But actually in these Mastering Class videos I have found many useful tools . Rick Carlson
Damn I wish this series had 10 parts! best tutorial I've ever seen of a DAW (or any other software for that matter)
this is by far the best logic masterclass that i have watched.
OUTSTANDING series. Please make 100 more videos like this for Logic Pro. I'll pay for them.
good idea :)
Sneaky Trick - If the singer doesn't get that much, or any, louder after you suggest they pipe up a bit; turn their own voice down in their cue mix.
It can help overcome foldback intimidation.
I've had success with it many times.
Be subtle though; don't give the game away. 😉
Sneaky trick reversed : if someone wants to hear the track louder cuz they're deaf, have a fader not assigned to anything and just pull it straight up. Works every time. The human brain is so sensitive to hearing beliefs, and that's why mastering engineer get randomized A/B programmed.
@@jas_bataille Ah Yes the Idiot fader. I've used that one too. Tell them to go easy and stop when it 'Feels' right ....
That was bloody brilliant, he's a really good teacher; he knows how to get a point across in a way that can be understood by putting things into context and rhetorically answers questions that people will have (which ultimately helps to make it clear). Also he speaks elloquently with clarity. Thanks!
Exactly!
"The art of teaching is to ensure learning takes place". This is something I was told many years ago whilst training as a driving instructor. Jono Buchanan has just managed to impart all the information into my brain, that I have been searching years for, over the course of 2hrs and 22 minutes. Absolutely incredible teacher and an absolute master of his craft.
Soooo true
The very best masterclass I have watched. SUPERB teacher. This world needs more teachers like him.
People please please DO NOT waste thousands of hours on YT like I did watching videos by Joe Dick and Harry when I could have been playing and composing. All you need are these 2 videos. Beautifully done, explained and right to the point.
This is brilliant, There are things on here. I did not even realize you could do on logic.. Amazing stuff.. I would listen to this guy all day about this stuff. Great job.
Thank You +Mark Joseph!
Been working with Logic for many years and I still learned a lot watching this Masterclass. Thanks so much for uploading this. Great teacher and performers!
I've learnt a lot from this 2 part masterclass and gained the confidence in doing all this on my own in my new Logic Pro x home studio. Thanks for sharing.
FACT CHECK: NO LIES
Man, i hope that there were more Masterclasses like this. This resumed literally 2 years of studying this DAW.
Amazing job man
i just got Logic Pro, this masterclass is so useful for beginners thank you
This masterclass was most helpful. Many thanks! I have been recording with Cakewalk Sonar since they introduced their product in1988 (Yes. I’m old!). I recently switched from PC to Mac. I was very concerned with the time involved reference using a completely new program and system. To my surprise, it has not been as cumbersome a learning curve as I first anticipated. Logic Pro is a fantastic DAW and with free updates you can’t beat the price. I’m hooked!
I had no idea Melodyne was built into Logic! This is the best masterclass I've ever seen
I can't believe this, I thought this would teach me Logic but instead he just lowkey dropped a hit on stage while teaching us how to do it as well. This is everything!
Yep. This is incredible.
I am an amateur musician, playing since one year with audio production (pandemic made my bands stop gigging). I think these two vids convinced me to study seriously the matter.
I am in the real life an electronic engineer working in a chemical company, I am sure I will take a course when I will retire. Why? Because I love all of that.
Thanks for the wonderful brain massage you gave me during these hard times.
Makes me wish I was studying at Guildhall. What a great lecturer. I’ve only just started my adventures with LogicPro (or any other DAW...at age60😂) but these two videos have got me into it nicely, so I’m not afraid to experiment now. Thanks Jono...you’re a top man!
Just started using Logic Pro X. A massive Thank You to Jono Buchanan
Thank you! Hands down the most comprehensive and clear walkthrough of the recording, editing, mixing and mastering processes. It was great seeing it all done live and on Logic Pro X. Cheers!
Alex
Although I am doing simple choir / vocal mixing, this is great to see how it is done live. Thanks
Amazing and throughout tutorial! The guy is clearly motivated, explains the most important things, leaves out the (at that point) unnecessary explanations and made it clear to understand even for Logic Pro X and recording newcomers. The best introduction to this fantastic software suite and musical production I have ever seen. And he managed to put it into a nutshell! Thanks
Great teacher - learned more of Logic then watching hours and hours of Logic training videos ...
I just learnt more in 2 hours about Logic than I have in 2 years ! Thank you so much 😬
This guy Jono Buchanan is so smooth, you barely notice that he is smooth :-)
Best tutorial I've seen for Logic Pro X, cleared up so many questions I didn't even realise I had!
Holy smoke.. I have been watching and learning how to tune studio quality vocal for months.. This is it. I cannot thank enough...
Exceptionally useful couple of videos. Straight to the point and no time wasted. Demystifies and clarifies the basics of Logic as well as emphasising the fact that to get a decent result you do not need a huge number of extra plug-ins. Having good musicians, a good computer, solid interface and superb microphone helps of course! Many thanks, Jono.
Thanks Tim, glad you found the videos useful!
Hi. Can anybody confirm please: the vox were recorded down WITH the EQ and compression...and then that file remained on the same channel with those same plugins still turned on? So, double EQ & comp?
Pretty certain that the EQ and Comp in the "input channel" are NOT baked into the file. It is only applied to the track as it is played out of the track to the stereo output, that we are monitoring. In the same way, the guitar "pedals" and "Amps" are working in the same way, as demonstrated by Jono B when he bypassed all the FX in the guitar channel. What you heard was just the untreated original guitar, WITHOUT the FX. So no, no double processing.
Ah okay. Cool, thank you. I wouldn't have expected it, but it just looked that way to me, knowing Logic.
yes, it's not immediately obvious. But when you think of the example of the guitar signal recording, you see how it works. It seems this is one of the most common misconceptions about Logic. I hope Jono doesn't mind me mentioning another RUclips channel, but I would like to suggest you check out dancetech's channel. He has done MANY incredibly detailed videos on Logic, and is particularly good at explains exactly how Logic functions work.Especially see this playlist:-
ruclips.net/video/r5C9iXOvgPM/видео.html
where he goes through the entire audio chain.
And if there is almost anything you need to know about Logic, there is a good chance you will find it on his channel. Highly recommended! (PS I'm not affiliated, just a very satisfied viewer, who owes much of what I know about Logic from his channel.
This is unbelievably precise and detailed. What an amazing tutorial. I rarely comment, but was compelled to leave a note of appreciation. So detailed and incredibly comprehensive. More please!
One thing I would have liked to see and hear is an A/B comparison between the mixdown (before mastering) and the mastered version.
this is one of the most important things i have ever watched. i love this guy and all the musicians so much after seeing this...
An Amazing and Perfect Lecture, Straight to the point, relevant and perfectly delivered.
Waiting for part 3. I have learned so much from these 2 videos. I thought that I knew how to use logic but this video has shown me many usable assets. As I was using FL Studio since 2004, last year when I bought a mac book, my production took a major blow and I have been switching from ableton & logic pro. I was trying to find a new home in the OS X Daw family. I think that Logic is exactly the same as FL Studio, I just have to spend time learning the ins and outs and transition slowly. Thank you for opening my eyes to the powerful possibilities of Logic Pro....Can't wait for PART 3
I think this is the highest quality tutorial and live recording demo using Logic Pro X on youtube so far! Thank you much!
That was a fantastic talk. You are a great teacher - thank you.
First Class. I watched both vids; highly engaging. I've been using Logic for years and I learnt even more today. Awesome.
I don't know if I have ever watched 2+ hours of instructional video and only wanted more. Bravo.
Recording, mixing and mastering masterclass. Absolutely brilliant. Clear, coherent and comprehensive.
Thank you, and thank you even more for making it available to all of us.
What an amazing masterclass. Thoroughly explains Logic and yet is extremely concise. I've learned things I didn't know I could do in Logic and I've been using it for a while. I wish there was more of these masterclasses!
not the man we deserve, but the man we need.
You are a legend thank you so much
I've been a Logic Pro user for 6 years now and I love every bit of it. If this class is for beginners. I still learned a lot. Great class.
Clear, Acute and accessible to all levels of Logic ProX users...even beginners like me! I've grown immensely during these two parts. God Bless you all and thank you for caring for those of us who can't afford to attend either undergrad or grad school production schools! These lessons are the most comprehensive to date! Thank you again!
What a fantastic teacher! I'd hate to say how many hours that I have spent on RUclips trying to learn from many people (which have helped), but I just learned more from this 2 part series in just 2 hours. Wonderfully done!
When I win a Grammy, I'll mention you during my acceptance speech :P
Henry Perkins show us some progress evidence!
Hey! It's time for Grammy 2019 now 😂
So did you win it?
@@zeuskyst I will
Got that Grammy, yet?
Can't tell you how amazing this series is, Learned new things and confirmed some things I already knew, Thanks to all involved.
I want more!!! This man is brilliant, I need to see more of this. Part 3 coming soon?
Riiight?
I would listen to anything that Mr. Buchanan put out concerning electronic recording. Absolutely brilliant!
Awesome exposition of Logic Pro X! He keeps it simple and to the point.
I'm not a Logic user, but this is still relevant and useful in other DAWs, which is why I'm watching. It's awesome. :)
An amazing session with a tremendous amount of very useful information, presented extremely well and very concisely. Thank you to all the participants and particularly Jono Buchanan for sharing so many tips and tricks.
I rarely comment on RUclips and I'm not an audio producer or involved with audio much, but these videos are wonderful. The explanation of the nuances of what you did and some no-nonsense comments on the least audible changes made are very rare gems, usually not found in most classes I've attended from most professors I've known.
I have been working with logic for some 14 years or so now and i thought i was pretty clued up but these two parts of the Masterclass have definitely added to my knowledge..great stuff
Fantastic Class! Completely organized presentation...and it was a great refresher for me for upcoming projects with additional skills added. The ONLY little thing that I have to say is that the backing vocals were recorded before the pitch correction on the main vocal and they weren't pitch corrected for the final mix. I know you know that...and class time was the issue! Thank you for a fantastic Masterclass!
It’s all been said in previous comments. I can only endorse how fantastically helpful these lectures (1 & 2) have been. No bullshit, clear precise & useful advice and a brilliant learning curve. Thank you for posting!!
Now that's a MasterClass. Direct. Concise. Methodical. Extremely helpful for getting right into Logic and making Art. Well done fam.
Even knowing the bulk of the information these two videos were a fantastic resource to share with the community. Thanks!!
Thanks for uploading these. I've been a Logic Pro User for many years, but this has shown me things I never knew.
That was brilliant, displaying how to get your audience pay attention and at the same time pouring in all the major walkthroughs of logic.
I only got Logic Pro X today. This Masterclass has blown my mind - I'll definitely have to watch this again and again over the next few weeks. Super content.
Wow. Those two videos were the best 2 hours I've spent on RUclips. What a great explanation of all of the aspects of recoding and mastering. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Thanks Jono. You're likeable and I mentally inserted canned laughter a few times as the audience's presumed chuckles were inaudible. This was a really useful video that stands out from the milieu of time-waster videos here on YT.
Thanks from Germany for this masterpiece in music production teaching
Great job with Logic Pro!! Excellent workshop! I learned a lot from you.
In the Multipressor, he changed the Expander's ratio, and not the Ratio on the Compressor, both in the low midrange and high midrange bands. No?
It's a multiband compressor and not an expander. Basically what it does is squeezing the frequencies above and below the ones you want to stand out in the mix, *giving you the impression that those frequencies expanded in dynamic*. But that's not actually the case. They remained the same. Basically - as I understand it from my soundman's experience - whatever blue zone you see is uncompressed, and the top and bottom of that zone are compressed to whatever degree you might like. By making certain parts of a large frequency band quieter, you are effectively expanding the perceived dynamic of the song, and you glue it together. If you were to use an expander, the whole thing would go up in volume in the peaks and down in the quieter section, making the master distort and the vocals harder to hear.
Thanks Jono, these 2 Masterclass lectures are so very helpful.
Thanks for selflessly sharing a goldmine of knowledge. Top instructor.
More superbly dispensed information from Jono and Guidlhall. Brilliant!
Yeah that was pretty awesome. I watched both videos back to back without a break. Very entertaining and informative. Nice job by the artists involved as well.
Such a great teacher... not just the content but the interesting way he keeps us interested.. WOULD love to have a full year learning music with Jono... amazing. thank you
These sections are now my favourate movies.. Thank you very much for a wonderful presentation.
Thank you very much, this masterclass was helping me a lot to open my ear and mind on how I can improve my mixing skill.
What a fantastic comprehensive tutorial, thank you so much Jono I hope to see more from GH School, top notch and direct.
Excellent introduction to a lot of stuff, not just Logic Pro X. However, it is just an overview / introduction and there is masses of depth to Logic Pro, recording, producing and mastering - don't stop studying until you get the sound you want.
Please please please, more videos. This teaching was amazing!
Congratulations to all involved. A brilliant Masterclass: Very informative and entertaining. I've been using Garageband for a while and have just upgraded to Logic. This is going to be fun!
I am astounded at the ability of Logic Pro X. Fantastic tutorial. I feel like I’ve been to a semester of school. I’ve been using Logic Pro for a while, but I may have been overlooking the power of its plugins. Thank you
Pretty generous to release this class for free. It covers all of the neatest features in Logic wonderfully, from the basics to some of the things that really set Logic apart from ProTools, for me anyway. I have a question about the volume automation on the vocal. If, instead of automating the fader volume, you automate a gain plugin pre-compressor, would that allow the compressor to take over and correct for minor inconsistencies in writing the automation? You’d be giving the compressor less of a job to do, so would that affect the amount of impact the compressor has on the vocal’s tone? What about a chain like this: compressor > gain automation > another compressor? Does that make any sense?
i am thankful to all that worked for this to happen..
This man is awesome , he explain things very simple, and as iam not native english speaker this is very clear english to me 👍
Mr Jono Buchanan, sir you're my hero!
The best description of Logics usage and Ive watched millions of tutorials. Great job.
It is a great Masterclass. Simplicity is quiet important thing, cause You can focus more on music than on some tech stuff. Your way of teaching is really simply and straight to the point. Thank You Guildhall School for those videos. They are great!
Dear Jono Dear School thank you very much for sharing this Masterclass I've learned a lot and it brought also inspiration Thank you again! All the best!
Wonderful example of intuitive tuition at work here. Brilliant work, I will take your teachings and hopefully it will help in my productions. Thank you.
that voice + that mic = so little edit needed. Jesus it sounds just amazing
Round of applause!! Thanks for sharing such great info with us.
Thank you very much for sharing this superb master class. It will take me some time to process, absorb and apply this teaching but it puts professional knowledge into the hands of every musician if they so choose. Brilliant!
Jono Buchanan is an amazing tutor! Looked both vids back to back and I really enjoyed listening to him and seeing how he managed everything! Wonderful job + Great information!
Excellent masterclass! Massive information almost all you need to know....Explained with a simple and practical approach. Cheers!
This is wonderful to see so much information and knowledge shared by Jono Buchanan in these two part videos for Logic Pro X truly remarkable!
Extremely useful masterclass, with a very clear and patient teacher. I realized now that there is so much more to Logic Pro than I ever thought possible. There is so much power to unleash when you know how. Thanks a lot! And kudos to the musicians who all nailed it.
I've been using Pro Tools and Logic for years now, but I still picked up some nice little hints and tips from this class, great stuff. In particular that's probably the best summary explanation of a multi-band compressor that I've heard.
Absolutely the best & most comprehensive Logic video I’ve ever seen!
Both parts were awesome..Thanks
Very fine walkthrough. I definitely gathered some tips to increase my workflow
