This channel is way past brilliant. I can't even think of the right words to express my appreciation and excitement to learn from this producer. Josh is incredibly generous to share his time and wisdom of these instruments and LPx and to put in so much work to make and publish these tutorials. There has to be a tip jar around here somewhere!

Hey folks! Had some technical difficulties yesterday with this one, so it's out today! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone that celebrates it!

[BreandanFitzpatrick]

you are easily the best educator in this field i have ever come across

[derekuhm]

this man is a national treasure and a legend.

Josh, your videos are just way beyond. The information and the way you present it; it’s just the best. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I like where u r going w this series, I switched to logic a few years ago after 10+ years on pro tools and your vids were and still are a big help!
I have also always said that I wish there was more or better videos on midi cc and midi channels and setting up midi controllers like my mpk249. I finally figured it mostly out but still lots of things to learn!

[gmpoepx]

Man this was immensely helpful. As a beginner to both Logic Pro and MIDI, I cannot thank you enough!

[bassManDavis]

OMG! I am so glad that you have started this course, the midi explanation is absolutely amazing! I thought I was using midi ok? But after going through this episode I have picked up so much. What a gem 💎 so well presented and explained, I really couldn’t wish for a better tutor and already feeling much more confident and inspired. Thank you so much

[JeffyG]

Great and accurate intro to midi. Ideal for beginners and even experienced musicians that never really understood midi. 👍

[biquarius]

Thank you SO much! You are an excellent tutor. 😊🙏🏻 Just subscribed as I am trying to learn Logic& Midi alone and so far I learned more from this one video than I have with numerous videos.

[vewilli]

More than 1 thumbs up! Again I learned a lot, e. g. the tip that you can merge new recorded notes into the same track, and many more. Looking forward to #9 which is already available. Thanks a lot for this series. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻

[johani]

thank you so much, I feel growing well in logic for your video.

[dalebrehm]

Thank you Much for creating this tutorial!

[JeffDaytonMusic]

I got a lot out of this... especially your three shortcuts; double-click for the new track, cmd-R to repeat and cmd-U to cycle. Thanks!.

[matthewhayden]

I wish this series came out years ago, thank you!
