Man you are gifted at explaining stuff .You are one of the best Logic tutors on these streets.I have used logic for many years and i still benefit a lot from your videos.Amazing works.
You have opened new possibilities of creation. I have seen many ear candy tutorials but none creative like this one. Thank you very much for this video!
Another sophisticated video over here: thanks a lot, Jono. Stretched beats created a very cool effect. And I realized that this piece you used is really good as well, especially the female vocal there. I wish I could hear the finished song soon.
Hello Jono- just a quick note to say your videos are so genuinely helpful. You are very gifted at showing us how to unlock our creative potentials and for that I thank you! Keep up the amazing work.
Will do! I've been producing and releasing music on and off for years, but I've learnt so much from you and MusicTechHelpGuy videos in recent months, that there's loads of new things I want to try out... and hopefully improve the quality of my productions and mixes in the future. Thank you, and keep up the great work!
Jono...Regardless of how long one has been doing this... Your methods are bringing home that sometimes we rely on plugins to make the interesting... Where with a little time etc... We can achieve our own... Thanks again !!!
Fantastic video, thank you. Demonstrates how small, subtle effects can really add depth and interest to a track without ovettaking it or sounding gimmicky.
So inspiring! I really like when you show us the small big-details and arrangement-hacks 🎉 And I didn’t know I could doubleclick inside a loop to play from that position 🙏 Thanks JB!
Superb video, Jono. That has opened up so many possibilities and given me so much to think about. I make a lot of seamless loops for stock music and try to avoid catching the ear too much as the loop becomes too obvious and generally loses its purpose. But they still have to boast a certain quality of their own and you've just given me a dozen ways to do this better. Thank you so much again.
Very interesting video, Jono, thank you very much! You present a lot of different options to sculpt the vocals and drum loops. I certainly will be going to try these in my own songs!
watching the video was really worth it, especially for the small workflow hacks like sending automation data to a bus. for some reason I have never thought of doing that :O
G'day Jono! I've been away camping for a while, I can see I have many clips to catch up on. This is a great clip. I got really excited about the dropping the vocal an octave and also using the delay on the repeats was awesome. Reversing a beat is always a useful tip. I'm off to catch up on the other clips including the music theory ones I am hanging to see. Anyway as usual, thank you for sharing this information. Oh, don't forget to label your busses and sends!!😉😜
Hi Jono, thanks a lot. Great advice. I didn't know about it. I already applied it on some old track. Sounds better than before. It's a pity that I applied it so late. The CD was released 3 years ago. ❤
What an expert. I’ll never be able to do this, that means I‘ll always stay on my beginner level. 😔 Nevertheless very cool what you show us here. I like the Synth very much. Is it a Logic instrument? If yes, which one is it (that hollow sounding one. I hope you guess what I mean). I loved this listening example, everything of it.
Thanks so much. Not at all - you'll definitely get there. The next steps of everyone's own Production journey always feel out of reach, somehow, and then suddenly, with hard work and practice, something clicks. Never give up. Yes, the hollow sounding synth is a patch I made in Logic's EFM1 synth. I really like it for those slightly melancholic pads.
Another perfect and inspiring video! Thanks a lot JB. But why why you don’t show us your keyboard controls as you’ve done in your key commands video? It will be really much more helpful if we see it also visual which key you’re holding down or a key command or etc. Please bake it in ;) Will! Please you hear us (who ever you are 😎😊)
Thank you, another great informative and inspiring video. 👍 I noticed that at 4:56 you used - rightly so - the Marquee Tool to create automation. Maybe you already know this, but once you've created the automation, you can hold down 'shift+option' and move horizontally with the mouse to create a fade in/out. This speeds up the process a lot instead of creating four points every time. And one more thing: Why not use the 'reverse' function in the Region Inspector of the duplicated region instead of creating a new audio file? Is there any specific reason for that? Thank you again for your video, always interesting and creative! 👏
Hi Davide. Thanks so much and great tip on the Marquee Tool - not one I knew, which is great! In terms of Reversing, there are two reasons why I create a new Audio file. Firstly, I sometimes find that if I use the Reverse option in the Region Inspector, Logic doesn't always display a file as reversed when I re-open a project at a later date. It will still 'sound' backwards, but the audio file will revert to displaying as 'forwards'. As this is occasionally the case, the second reason is that when this happens, making adjustments to start and end points of reversed regions is much harder if they're being displayed incorrectly. I know it's old-school, but I've always found creating a new, dedicated audio file for reversed regions is a fail-safe.
You don't need to duplicate the audio file to reverse it or stretch it. Using the same file and just duplicating the region and reversing it or stretching it works fine
Thanks so much for your comment. Logic is a little inconsistent on audio file/region processing. With some tasks, you're absolutely right, Region processing is independent of other copied Regions. But in some contexts, processing an Audio Region will process ALL regions which are copies, in which case making a duplicate is advisable. What I always try to do in these videos is to provide advice which will work for everyone. Sometimes that might mean an extra step or two which is might be occasionally unnecessary, but it should mean that for anyone trying out one of these tips, they won't get stuck with an unwanted surprise!
@@jonobuchananmusic I absolutely see that, and for any other audio file processing I would agree, but the most common ear-candy methods of reversing and stretching is always consistent if it's done at the region and not at the file (same goes for other region aspects, like transposing, fades, flex etc.). I've never experienced anything else, and if I ever do, I would send it in as a bug report Anyways, thanks for these videos, always straight to the point and showing Logic's strengths (compared to a lot of other Logic related channels that just blabber on for ages and never getting to it) 🙂
For me the slight imperfections make it so much more interesting, particularly for a track in this genre. But I totally understand if you hear it differently.
@@jonobuchananmusic - 'slight imperfections' - did the vocalist record to this backing track or is it a remix around her accapella? If it's the former, she needs to do another take. The whole vocal is way off. If it's a remix using an accapella then the chords are wrong. I can't understand how you hear it differently.
Man you are gifted at explaining stuff .You are one of the best Logic tutors on these streets.I have used logic for many years and i still benefit a lot from your videos.Amazing works.
Thank you so much - very kind words. So glad to hear the videos are useful.
You should open an Ear Candy Store! I'd shop there! Thanks JB!
I'll let you know when it's open for business!
Haha and +1 that would be a great series!
You have opened new possibilities of creation. I have seen many ear candy tutorials but none creative like this one. Thank you very much for this video!
Thank you - I'm so glad to hear it was helpful.
As a hobbyist newish logic enthusiast this is the best vid I have watched. So useful, thanks Jono.
Thanks so much. Delighted to hear that.
Absolutely fantastic! The content in this video is top-notch. Keep up the great work! 🌟
Thanks Christian!

The timing of this video couldn’t be better! Genius! 👍
Ah, great to hear that!
Really enjoyed this videao, thanks!! The half hour sped by.
That's great to hear. Many thanks Ian.
I hit like before even watching, I already know
Aha! You can do that every week if you like! 😉 Thanks so much.
That sounds amazing! Will definitely start playing around with stuff like this in my own music.
Great! Thanks Andrew and have fun.

You’re so welcome.
As always very useful! It inspires to experiment with different production stuff while keeping the song itself quite minimalistic. Thank you!
Thanks so much - I'm glad it was inspiring.
You. Sir. Are. A. Beast! Thank you for such a great video. The best and most inspiring I’ve ever came across !!! 😄👍🏾
That’s extremely high praise! Thank you so much.

Thanks for the wealth of creative and technical insights!
You're welcome Ben. I'm glad you're enjoying them.
Great tutorial, I really enjoy these production related videos, I'll definitely try some of those ideas :)
Great, thanks so much for letting me know. More Production-tip videos coming soon.
Great stuff man!
Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you Jono! You really need to turn that mug around though! 🤪
You’re welcome. The reflection in the computer monitor’s kind of fun though, right?! I’ll let Will take the credit for that bit of visual trickery.
Ha! I had not spotted that! Very cool! @@jonobuchananmusic

How do you not have 100,000 subs?
