At last a video from a grammy award winning producer showing you how to record professional sounding vocals, whilst only using the Logic For x plugins. Thank you Seth this couldn't have landing for me at a better time, as i was in the process of finally adding the vocals to the instrumental backing track. As a vocalist this information is priceless. So looking forward to applying your technique. Thanks a million.
I’m at 5:03 in this video and still no demo of vocal recording; just stories. But, when you’re as old as me you get impatient. I’m glad others have enjoyed this. Maybe next time. ❤
Thank you so much for this! I just invested in Logic Pro and a new mic set up to take my recording to the next level. This is exactly what I needed! I’m ready to get to work! Your hard work and videos are very very very much appreciated!
Thanks for taking the time to show us. Just one thing. When you are clicking here and there and saying: ''You can do this or do that'' you're clicking so fast that (I) really can't see what you're doing. Best regards.
Like many, I used a Cloudlifter initially to help with the needed gain from my first gen SM7, then switched to the Soyuz version, better yet. Really appreciate this video! Just what I needed, thank you. Subscribed, of course.
i make music on pro tools windows based and am a pro audio recording engineer but i have just switched to mac for the first time in my life anddd to logic for the first time i am in the jungle my friend hahahaha i do understand the daw offcourse but everything functions a lil different or is on a nother spot (functions) after working with pro tools from 2008 til 2021 it is quite a change in my opinion man even the whole mac book thing got my mind crackeling. Nice video my man..and that harmony section of the video...man you blew my mind of with a shotty...word.
Seth, thank you so much for sharing this material!!, I also have found really helpful the Autopunch recording option of logic pro x, so you just record one part of the vocals, instead of recording it all over again. As you said there are many ways and options to record vocals and each producer has his own way, I just wanna point out that extra option is available for those who use logic pro x too. Thank you again, I just already subscribe to your channel to follow your work.
What are you setting the gain at on your shure smb7? - finding it odd how much lower the vocals tend to come in - i use the apogee duet and have run the shure through clouds mic pre amp before going into the duet - never sure where to have the gain in the apogee software sometimes in at 33-35 - it always seems loud as hell in the headphones but records extremely lower waveforms than my instrumentals
Gotta be one of my top three most impactful videos I have watched with regards to musical production on RUclips, followed by number two which is the video you did after this. Thank you so much. I actually have upgraded recently to an Apollo twin and was not at all happy with the sound I was getting, tried it for the first time yesterday with my usual Neumann TLM 103, which I love but is perhaps now picking up the floors in my studio more than the previous soundcard allowed, perhaps? Going into my studio to try the SM7, which thankfully I have and also like :-) Can I ask whether you ever use the unison preamps plug-ins within the Apollo console? I have an external mic preamp, but even using a trs cable can’t seem to bypass the Apollo preamp. Would you recommend using a preamp plugin or just go completely dry? Many thanks!
Awesome vid. When you’re doing the comping on those vocal tracks, what keyboard shortcuts did you use when you didn’t come in on time, to return your play head position to immediately start to record again? Thanks!
Greetings Seth and thanks for a rich lode of invaluable information! As a brass-based studio, I'm now expanding, and have my first vocal session tomorrow! Wish me luck and thanks again!
Man ! This is so much help, I'm trying to use protools and it for my mind is so complicated I can't really enjoy it. You explain your process so well, I want to try to learn all you'll share with us. Thank you so much !
Seth, great lesson. THANK YOU. I Have a question, I noticed that the instruments were on their own separate region, meaning the session was bounced for the instruments… Do you record vocals and instruments on their own sessions? Or this was just for the lesson purposes?
How did it go from mono to stereo, I noticed it’s when you put the reverb… but your input shows that it’s still mono, but when you see the signal there’s 2 bars meaning that it’s stereo right?
I am just using auto tune on to monitor with, but it’s not actually printing through auto tune. It’s recording raw. And then I flex pitched it in this video.
Hello Seth, I wanna ask do you put the reverb on the vocal track because the purpose of just hyping the vocal? Because the more suitable way is to send it to bus right? Just want to know the reason behind it. Thanks a lot!!
And I'm really actually interested in an answer. I am curious what is going on and why there is so much compression and cleanup as if it's dirty sound?
Great video, thanks for sharing! What is that shading you're doing on the track(s), example at 31:38, on the blue track you use the mouse to pull a 'triangle' shade on it. Sorry, I'm new to Logic Pro X.
@@OfficialFCMusic Thanks so much. I'd picked up the Twin X Duo. Early instrument testing is great but my lord...the way UA install all the plugins in Demo mode by default and bloat your DAW list was beyond annoying. Will be recording our vocalist for the first time this week....and in essence first time ever recording vocals so undoubtedly so many 'learn by mistakes' ahead. :)
I have a question....you're singing through the UAD right? I noticed you have the neve, autotune. LA2 and 1176 on your channel and you had it set UAD record.....Did I miss you explaining those settings? Doesn't that make a difference ......especially since you at it set to record and not monitor?
Seth. Great info but bro why did you speed up the video? I'm a video producer. I had to slow the video to understand you sometimes. But again great information
Thankyou for the nice video. I have a komplete audio 6 interface and I don’t have any light indicators for levels on it and I’m in a big room and it sounds like I’m far from the mic
Important to REcord in a dead room - at bare minimum you can always throw a blanket over your head and hold the sm7 real close - I’ve done it before and it works
You’ll need some kind of audio interface to connect your mic to your computer (or at minimum a usb microphone) - universal audio Apollo interfaces are our recommendation and it comes with the software shown. Not a requirement but will increase your quality a good bit

Thanks Seth, made an immediate difference to my recording with a Rode NT and less plug ins whilst getting a better sound. May Jimi be with you!

I'm an avid (lol) Logic user and I found this super helpful because I hardly ever record vocals.
Thanks for taking the time to show us. Just one thing. When you are clicking here and there and saying: ''You can do this or do that'' you're clicking so fast that (I) really can't see what you're doing. Best regards.
we'll keep this in mind next time
@@OfficialFCMusic No problem. Ciao
You can lower RUclips's playback speed
Really great video Seth. Thanks for sharing. Appreciate the clear instruction. Moving from Pro Tools to Logic Pro and this helps a whole lot

Going into a session today, FL is my primary DAW but with this tutorial I know exactly what to do once I fire up Logic. Thank you 🙏🏾
One of the very few videos about recording vocals which are worth it! Really got something from it! Thank you very much, sir!

Best tutorial ever - fast, informative, concise, comprehensive. Excellent job, Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
This was amazing to watch. Learnt so much seeing it done in real time, especially at a fast pace. Thank you!!!
Awesome to hear 👂
I have been freaking searching for a video like this!!! Why haven't I seen this before?

Wow! Thanks, Seth. Great insight.

Thanks a lot for sharing your own experience!
This whole time ove been over thinking melodies and doubles thank you so much

Good no fuss no muss instructional. Thanks for that.
Thanks Seth, recording a bunch of kids tomorrow, 4 at time, 5 groups. My template is set and ready to go. Thanks!
Fantastic!
Hoping you can share the thinking behind bringing your vocal through auto tune, and then applying Flex Pitch.
I am just using auto tune on to monitor with, but it’s not actually printing through auto tune. It’s recording raw. And then I flex pitched it in this video.
To use auto tune to monitor, you have to turn the low latency mode setting on
Priceless! thank you so much for the best video on the subject!
That was really well put across and articulated. Thank you very much.
Excellent video..very helpful.. Thanks so much
Very succinct video. Not too novice or expert.
Not redundant etc! Thx
BABY YOURE A FIREWOOORK!!!!! 🤯
Thank you so much, very informative and to the point!
You're very welcome!
what was your favorite part?

This is dope bro. 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Seth, this was really helpful! :)
And I'm really actually interested in an answer. I am curious what is going on and why there is so much compression and cleanup as if it's dirty sound?
Amazing stuff! thank you brotha
If you record the vocals with the plugins on do they get baked in the vocal or they get recorded raw?
Very cool, very helpful, very professional! Thank you! 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Great video, thanks for sharing! What is that shading you're doing on the track(s), example at 31:38, on the blue track you use the mouse to pull a 'triangle' shade on it. Sorry, I'm new to Logic Pro X.
That's fading the track in and out to prevent any clipping or weird noises that might happen at the beginning or end of a track
Fantastic. Got a great voice too
Thanks so much. Very well put together. Which UA interface did you use if you don't mind me asking?
Apollo x8

It seems like he mentions it at 25:26 but he lightly touches on the settings..but disclaimer: I’m in no way a professional & am a beginner😅
damn this was a great video. thank you!
Great video!!
Hi, You are a good singer.
Sweet!
My favourite songwriters are John Mayer and Rodgers & hart !!
great vid, thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you so much sir it really helped ❤️❤️
great video......
Great content too thanks for the knowledge bro…
My pleasure
Thanks, the tutorial was informative and easy to follow.
true
I have the shure sm58 and a condenser bm 700. What would you pick out of those two? Sorry im a noob.
Go with the condenser with a pop filter
Very nice.
Where can I find this song? It was really dope
not out yet!
Last year I upgraded my mic to the Audio Technica 4040. Would I be better off with the Shure SM7B?
I’d personally go for the sm7
@@OfficialFCMusic Do you recommend that standard Shure SM7B -or- SM7dB (w/Built-in Preamp)
@@deanchristensen8363if you don’t have a preamp or an interface with like 68db of gain go for the sm7db
I think u should promote this channel bruh itz kool
Seth. Great info but bro why did you speed up the video? I'm a video producer. I had to slow the video to understand you sometimes. But again great information
Do you tour as a musician with 4K&K? You look kind of familiar like I’ve seen you at one of the festivals
thank you
Why does your mixer look so different? Is that an option?
Hello what is your console Seth plug in ? Could we find it on the web ? Thank You very much
It’s in the Uad Apollo software - I believe in this video I was just using some basic eq and compression going to tape
Thank bro
I liked it.
Thankyou for the nice video. I have a komplete audio 6 interface and I don’t have any light indicators for levels on it and I’m in a big room and it sounds like I’m far from the mic
Important to REcord in a dead room - at bare minimum you can always throw a blanket over your head and hold the sm7 real close - I’ve done it before and it works
Good instruction
sir I like ur voice so husk super voice u have
Is there a cheat code or loophole if my vocals are not consistent enough for tripling or doubling it?
Unfortunately no / gotta get the performance right on the front end. Spend the time needed
So I need Apollo? Is there any way to do with just Logic?
You’ll need some kind of audio interface to connect your mic to your computer (or at minimum a usb microphone) - universal audio Apollo interfaces are our recommendation and it comes with the software shown. Not a requirement but will increase your quality a good bit
Thank you so much Seth! Great, helpful, and informative video! 😀
hey what button do you press to restart your take!?
What's with the horrible voice processing on your speech audio?
Is that interface on 7:09 built into Logic Pro? Or is this separate?
It’s the universal audio apollo console
This is excellent work, thank you Seth.
How do you listen to the music track while actually singing it? Not being able to listen to the track
Don’t know if that helps but u have to connect ur headphones to the microphone!
🎯❤
Great advice, been in the closet for a while and the mic was perfect.
vielen Dank👍🇩🇪
Video starts at 2:20
how do you record without latency?
Use low latency mode in logic - and if any plugins you’re using have a low latency option enable that (auto tune for instance)
And make sure your buffers are at 64 or 128
🙌😎👍
