I really needed this video during Black Friday! I even searched your channel for it but couldn’t find it back then. I’m new to music production and recently completed your essential course. It was incredibly insightful and inspiring. Thank you so much for creating such a fantastic and helpful resource!

You might have mentioned it but the ARA function for Vocalign works fine if you open Logic in Rosetta. I do that all the time and then just switch out of Rosetta after I’ve bounced the tracks. Thanks for all of your videos….I’m a huge fan!

[darrylhoward]

I would love to see a video on how to use melodyne! I know you are a logic video channel. Great video!!

[bringyourownheart]

Whoa... that use of Harmony engine on an AUX is perfect. soooo good. 😱

[jamesnyers]

Great song, and great video as always.

5:07 You inserted a plugin in mixer view and vertical mixer size was expanded automatically so that all slots and other mixer components are visible. What is a setting for that? I have to resize mixer height manually each time I insert a plugin. Thank you!

[urbansoundscarllamb]

Loved this. My take away, UVI, loved Shade!

[TimelessRedner]

Fantastic! Very informative with great examples.

[aadilmusic__]

what's the difference between La 2a by analog obsession and uad?

[matt_nyc_audioengineer]

Hopefully one day soon Logic gets ARA working natievly! Would be great to use things like Melodye or Auto Align and not have to record the audio in first.

[kostasharitatos]

Thank you for that and all of your videos.

[HarryDeeProductions]

With melodyne. Use the ara version. And you dont have to wait for it to transfer. Just press play and stop. And its done

[lordscarfinger]

A question about the vocal plug ins. What's wrong with Logics own flex pitch and vocal transformer? Don't do they the same stuff as those paid plug ins? Are they more detailed im sound or just easier to use?

[tam_ryan]

Omg have Logic still not sorted ARA for Melodyne yet?

[VelvetItch]

Have you tried the new plugin by Sound Theory (Gullfoss) Kraftur? It's a phenomenal clipper

[jakeah]

Do you ever use harmony engine just to test harmonies and then record the actual harmony it generates with your actual voice?

[mathias]

Hey Josh, great video! A question about reverb. I usually adjust the amount of reverb I want by adjusting the send amount while keeping the return fader at 0db. Here I see that you have the send level at max while controlling the amount of reverb with the return fader. Is there a profound difference between those two methods in how the reverb sounds or is it just a matter of personal preference?

[TheNecrophagist]

Thank you for the video. What‘s the name of the song? I‘d like to hear it in full length 😁

[steviek]

If I have the Waves CLA2A would you still recommend the 2A? Do you think it makes much of a difference? Cheers
