Hey Georges! Have just watched the video and decided it's a good time to leave a comment (i also heard that writing comments helps in video promotion, so let it help in it as well!) I literally have no idea why your channel does not collect hundreds of thousands of views per video. What I also'd like to say is huge thanks for the materials your make and the way you serve it. I really like how calm you are during explanation of everything and how much important information you put into each video. Your channel is a hidden gem for Logic Pro lovers! I do recording on a hobby level, and do it for around 10 years now and how much things you've discovered for me (like these flex pitches, volcals eq, etc!). Maaan! Just one more time thank you for your time and patience!
Hey Egor, thanks so much for the kind words! I really appreciate it! You're very welcome, and if there's any other topics you'd like to see covered don't hesitate to let me know. Cheers Georges
Awesome content George! Every video you do is very helpful and to the point without wasting the viewers time. Cannot wait for more content in the future. Maybe on Alchemy or other tips and tricks.
Thanks for the kind words. I do have one video on Alchemy you can watch here: ruclips.net/video/me4zJw-KofY/видео.htmlsi=FCBRATa4it_e5Xuv There's a lot more to cover on that synth though, so you can expect more soon! Cheers Georges
Thanks man!Are you gonna have any videos for Logic Pro for iPad ?I would really love to hear and see you do some tutorials on mastering,etc. for the iPad version as well.
I haven't had a chance to play around with Logic Pro for iPad yet, but I'll make sure to post some videos when I do. I'll reply to this comment when they're live. Cheers Georges
Great overview of pitch correct. Have antares but logics so good now I just don't see a need for something extra. But your video brought up a NEWB QUESTION. In the edit window you were clicking in the timeline and having it play from there, with cycle on. How? I usually work from the arrange and marquee click where I want to start but that doesn't work in edit window? Love learning new tricks.
@@patrickmcnaryhayes545 I use the cycle a lot when I'm working on certain sections. Set your cycle range in the arrange window. Press "c" to activate and then adjust the range by clicking and dragging the start and end. Anytime you hit "spacebar" with the cycle on, playback will start for the beginning of the cycle range (regardless of what window you're working in). As for snapping the pitch to 0. Just double click with your mouse on the pitch and it'll snap to the closest pitch. I hope that helps and answers your questions. Cheers! Georges
thanks for you video!) I have an issue with my Flex Pitch, recently I have used it successfully, but now in all my projects it reads vocals incorrectly and all this "blue bricks" placed too far from each other. Maybe you have any tips for me? thanks a lot!
There is one thing i can do with manual pitch correction that i cant find similar solution in Logic pro x. I have an audio region which is duplicated, if i use flex pitch on one of the audio region, will the flex pitch be automacally copied over to the duplicate audio region? This is done automatically in cubase making pitch correction less time consuming especially working with dupicate audio regions like Chorus part of songs. Is this possible in Logic pro without having to edit every single audio regions?
Your flex pitch edits won't be applied to different regions unfortunately. What I'd suggest is do your tuning first and then copy the tuned vocal to the other parts of your song. Cheers Georges
If you're going to scale quantize I would do it at the beginning. That way you can listen through everything and make sure the vocal got placed on the correct pitches. Cheers Georges
Pretty crazy what can be done with this tech ... I think it gets a bit weird that it's necessary to go in and chop notes that the computer is interpreting .. I just don't know how anyone can keep all that straight, and if maybe things are going too far when it comes to 'perfecting' something organic like the human voice. With Flex Pitch you really get to see what the 'pitch correction' software is really doing ... I know consciously it seems to make things 'better', but I'm wondering if subconsciously our brains are picking up that it's too perfect, and part of the major reason it seems pop music now all sounds the same and sort of boring. .... I find the same stuff with a lot of the bedroom produced metal that people are making lately .. same effect run on everything from the drums to the guitars. It's just a wash of the same kind of thing over and over, from one production to the next... really strange times we're living. Really informative video ... Right to the point .. I'm going to mess around with it. Looks fun.
Thanks for the comment! Yes I agree that it's easy to take things too far. My take on it is if it doesn't sound out of tune to begin with then let it be. A good singer should be able to hit the notes. Pop music is a bit of a different thing these days. The majority of commercial pop music features overly tuned vocals, and listeners have become accustomed to hearing it this way. It doesn't sound natural, but it is a "sound". So it all depends on what you're after. I agree with your comment on metal as well. A lot of the drums are programmed and quantized 100% so everything is quite machine gun like, but I guess that's the "sound" some people are going for in that genre as well. Cheers! Georges
@@knuckledustermusic The metal stuff gets really bad considering it's so fast with the double kicks etc .. Yeah, it sounds like a machine. Also most of it is coming from primarily guitar players who don't really know how to think like drummers. I miss the Death Metal from the early 90s, bands like Obituary , Morbid Angel etc .. they did it without nailing everything down to the grid perfectly. I don't play metal because I don't have the skill for it... But I went ahead and bought some Roland virtual drums just so I wouldn't have to program midi. I know there's ways of humanizing drums by penciling in the hits, changing velocity, moving things slightly off grid etc.. but It's so tedious , and at the end of the day I think it comes out better when the rhythms are actually played. The Roland's sound great when paired with some of Logic's producer kits .. with some tweaking of course. ... I'm screwing around with the pitch stretch and I like it, but I'm trying to not push everything to 100, leaving the crappy vibrato and pushing the pitches where I'm off just a small percentage towards the right note. I suck, so it's definitely making my crap sound better. 😂
A little pitch correction on a real clunker, I get that. But full-on pitch adjustment is the standard in most recording and performances these days, sucks the soul out of the voice. There’s a reason Adele and Billie Eilish don’t use pitch correction - beyond the fact they don’t Need it. Imagine Aretha Franklin auto-tuned… no, don’t, it’s a sin against nature.
Agreed, but it has become a "sound" for top 40 pop music for better or worse. It's up to the artists and producers/engineers to decide which tools to use that are available to us and which ones do more harm than good. Cheers Georges
She does indeed! Not everyone does though 🤣. It's just another tool available to us. Whether you decide to use it or not will depend on the genre, singer, and personal preference.
He's probably not saving those changes. He's just showing how to use the tools. He can't show how to do this stuff on vocals if he doesn't have a vocal track.

love your tutorials. very surprised your channel isn’t a whole lot bigger than it is. you deserve more recognition!
Thanks for the kind words and the support!

Brilliant tutorial and was really helpufl
Thank you!
this is really helpful
Happy to hear it!
Great lesson, thanks a lot!
You’re welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@knuckledustermusic I subscribed and look forward to more. Cheers.
@@WickBeavers thanks for the support. It’s much appreciated!
Great video. I haven’t used Flex Pitch cause I’m lazy, but this was very helpful.

Dude! You are amazing!!!!! So glad I found you. I would love to collaborate with you and learn more from you.
Thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos. Happy to help!

Thank you
You're very welcome!
This is great! One thing I never knew tho is do you turn flex pitch off when you're done tuning just one track?
Don't turn flex pitch off on the individual tracks (that'll disable what you've done), but you can hide Flex by pressing "command + F".
Cheers
Georges

also saw you do what looked like grabbing the pitch but jumped to perfect 0 vs dragging all the way there?

Its good George but you'll be there a long drifting each note you might as well punch in, much quicker
top!!!
Thanks!

You're welcome! If your vocals are within a comp track things will work better if you first flatten your comp. Hopefully that helps.
Cheers
Georges
@@knuckledustermusic I got it! Will try! Thank you very much 😍

just curious if you find flex pitch delivery better results than Melodyne
I prefer Melodyne to be honest, but flex pitch is a great free option.
@@knuckledustermusic some here mate, also a Melodyne user!

Why mess with a human voice and make it false..she has a great natural voice.
