A superb tutorial, excellent narration.
SOOO many Youtube tutorials are by folks with skills, but little bedside manner. They often need to polish their teaching game.
Lacking in this tutorial: "Uh...."
"whatever..."
"guys...guys...guys" every 10 seconds.
"you know..." (no I don't).
Nathan, as any great teacher, is well prepared, he moves the narrative along, and leaves you wanting more. So far the best tutorial I've seen about Logic Pro X.

I've just finished my second LP project as a Garageband graduate. About 3 weeks in I said, I gotta watch some basic instructional vids, I muddled through but learning on the fly its limitations. So now project over, I'm in learning mode and this was great. I saw different ways to do things. NOW...onto the Ultimate Guide to Busses because that stuff was driving me crazy and I now see the usefulness. Thank you

[RedCardin]

Time stamps of topics would be super helpful

[marauderguitars]

Great video! The best beginner video I have come across. Touches on all the important things to know with just the right amount of relevant information. Coming from a semi-professional ProTools background many years ago, trying to learn a new interface is a bit of a challenge. I know what is possible but I have no idea how to get started with it. Thank you so much for making this. I'll definitely be checking out more of your videos.

[IvanMelon]

Thank you Nathan. Your support to the community along all this years is priceless. Incredibly useful to me. I miss your Finale tutos. Keep safe and healthy man ;)

[melaninwarrior]

This video is the best explanatory video I have viewed so far for beginners using logic pro x

[trustus_]

Thank you! Logic makes so much more sense to me now!

[dianat.]

Thanks a lot! i just switched to logic after decades of other DAWs - and feeling like an absolute newbee. That was very very helpful!!! Especially comping and what to click for it and loop area! Great work :)

[BrandiLynnColonMusic]

Was JUST trying to figure out how to insert a random measure of 2/4, before watching this video! Love all these things I’m learning about the program.

[jennlam]

Great introduction! Well organized and gave a really good high level overview of an introduction to the features. Covered some really important topics like busses and comps. That's not as common in many "intro" videos.

[karletherington]

just watched this tutorial and I can honestly say after watching at least 10 beginners that this has been the best, covered everything I need to know and not just the real billy basic stuff which was easy to figure out myself

Thank you.

[dalnaldo]

you sir have done what i set out for. i opened and used logic, and i have a good understanding of the basics. liked and subscribed. you got a great pace, nice interesting voice and cover your subject well. Kudos buddy

[vincentgoupil]

[axel.lessio]

I'm not new to Logic but knowing the quality of your content I am *sure* I will find something new in this video. Keep up the great work! 😄

[littlecreature]

I’ll be getting logic in a few months so I figured I’d check this out first then revisit when I have the software in front of me and wow it feels like I already know so much

[StianJebsen]

This video answered so many of my questions! Thank you so much!!
