I would consider myself a Logic intermediate, but through the last few years, I’ve forgotten or taken for granted the basics. Glad I found your channel. Not only are these topics good refreshers, but some of the tips are so absurdly simple, I’m kicking myself for wasting so much time during workflow. Keep up the good work my dude!

Great summary. Nice delivery and production! Thanks.

Maybe drummers 11:34 like to hear the soft tone at high gain, if only one could automate gain adaptively
