Hey Nathan! I’m a relatively new producer (about 2 years) and I was a very happy Ableton user until they switched a policy and I lost the trial and it’s definitely not in my budget so I had to switch to Logic out of necessity. I’ve only been at it for about 2 weeks but you’ve helped me feel fairly proficient with the software in that short amount of time! Thanks a lot for all the value you add!

Best video ever. Project Alternatives FTW!!

[RandNMusic]

Oh your videos are so good it really inspired me to make more music 😁

[DanielDeakin]

track alternatives is sick! i used to make a new track every time i bounced and hide everything for vocals. this is

[ZAY________]

Oh wow so many of these things I never tapped into for the last 10 years. Track alternatives, Project Alternatives, Quick Sampler... I even have a specific issue regarding my buss volume not "reading" what is written, but you explaining the Buss volume automation part, I think I now know exactly what the issue is. Thanks so much man!

Track alternatives was the biggest game changer for me, absolutely love it

[mattlytle]

Thanks for these tips! The track alternatives as a way to flatten a take folder while still having a take folder was an incredible tip! Also, for freezing tracks, you can specify whether you want logic to freeze pre-fader or else freeze the source (pre-fader is default). Freezing the instrument source (the snowflake will be blue instead of green) works great for software instruments. It freezes the instrument audio while still allowing you to add plugins to the track. I use that a lot for orchestral stuff since my Mac is old and underpowered.

Liked how you resolved the track alternative being FLATTENED by creating another version DEDICATED for that. Definitely will try that out!

My approach was to bounce out the track and option click the On/Off button turning the track off and hiding it afterwards. I thought that was the fastest way, but your approach seems to involve even less steps. So will give yours a go! Thanks for sharing, Nathan!

[SYPCWAK]

[BangBangBeefyMacNCheesy]

Probably the most informative Logic vid I’ve seen in quite some time! Thank you for the tips!

[SmilusMusic]

Dude! Well done. A few gems that I wasn't aware of. Thanks for sharing

[Vintsent]

AMAZING VIDEO DUDE !!! Thanks a lot.

There is something interesting with your tips number 4, I used to produce a song with that workflow, I send my layer to an summing track stack (I maybe wrong) but I decided to work with buses with the old way to do it. Because when you wanna export your project in audio (thing I am doin because my sound engineer do not have Logic) the export do not take my effects on my summing track stack, but if I am doing a send to a bus it works well.

I still do not find a solution for that, and I searched everywhere that’s crazy.

But man, thank you much for that video, really thanks a lot 🙏🔥

[dalydose]

This is awesome man thanks for sharing. Especially the project alternatives.
