[revbigjohnsbackyardfishn]

I just appreciate the time you take. I'm learning and I'm from the old school but having all of this stuff in one place on the computer is crazy. Wish it was around in my day.

[sbudaland]

It felt like I was chilling with you right there as a friend. Thank you! Tutorial is great!!

[projectcalmofficial]

I'm shocked because of how underrated your videos are... I have just gotten my hands on my first Mac this Monday and you are just a rescuer for me!

[tsltay]

Your thoughtful style includes details and background information that paints a full picture. Thank you!

[joelh.marcus]

Hey Charles, I just started your mixing tutorial! I am clearly a beginner in that I've been recording my songs for only seven months now and for the five I'd been using GarageBand and your tutorials got me started. For the last two months I've graduated to Logic and I can't believe how exciting it is to learn how to go through the mixing process and how much is actually available in Logic Pro. I know this sounds corny but I'd be lost without your well articulated discussions. I've got a song with about 20 tracks so organizing the material has been essential. I'm only about 12 minutes in but with note taking and trying out what your sharing it has taken quite a bit of time. I'm looking forward to studying the rest of your tutorial. I can't thank you enough!

[michelthibodeau]

I really appreciate your videos and the appropriate explanations you give to your audience. Thank a lot for that time spent, it's not a waste !

[robertbaaij]

Hi Charles, this tutorial is exactly what I have been looking for. Your explanation using both apple and fabfilter vst's is a really great asset in learning mixing in Logic Pro X. I will check out your other tutorials on YouTube. Thank you I learned a lot with this tutorial.

[kerryraywood]

Your videos are so clear and helpful, I always learn so much! Appreciate your videos so much ☺

[pedrobonatto]

Fantastic tutorial Charles! I really appreciate it. I watched your intro tutorial to Logic Pro and that same night I was able to create my first composition using your tips. I just watched this tutorial on mixing and it was incredibly useful. As a beginner, it was easy to follow along, so I want to thank you again for this. Cheers.

[bamazed]

Thank you for the tutorial. I followed your steps. I been having problems with getting good balance between drums and my other sounds. Starting with mixing the drums first made a lot of sense. My new song is sounding better already. Just subscribed to your channel. Logic is a very good program to learn for home studio artist.

[lynettejc]

Such an interesting video and the fact that you go over the same things multiple times helps me learn. I will watch this a few times more cause I know i'll pick up more. Thank you for breaking this down and helping me to understand! 🥰

[Lab-of-Lyynn]

Hi Charles! During COVID lockdowns I decided to explore electronic music and DIY recording. I'm a swamp blues rocker on accordeon and keys, so it's a real adventure. Your video is great, looking over your shoulder to your workflow and explainations. I (un)learn a lot! 🙂

[jimzabloski]

I've listened to about 8 hours of your videos the past 2 days, including this one. Four words: I - Get - It - Now. I've been doing a lot of this in GB already, but it was really helpful to see it done in Logic since I'm moving in that direction. And, it taught me not to fear Logic after all. Thanks, man.

[cmoodie]

Sample from Splice is heavenly. Appreciate the tutorial!

[ViOLiNiAZhannaStelmakh]

Thank you very much.. your videos are amazing

[Vortex]

wow. watched all of it and this song im working on just sounds like wayyy better

[staind]

This was super helpful and I'm looking forward to putting these lessons into practice. I think I'm somewhere between beginner and intermediate, trying to find that next "jump" in skill level, and this helped me confirm some thoughts about beginner skills while giving me new things to try. Thanks!
