Edit Podcasts FASTER in Logic Pro

I love the editing capabilities in Logic Pro. Not only is it great for writing and mixing music, it also has a unique set of features that make it AMAZING for editing Podcasts!

Check out these features that I think set it apart from the competition, and make it a podcast editing MACHINE!

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing these!! When the customer sends you notes on changes they want you to make, they usually start at the beginning and send you timestamps chronologically. If they want you to delete certain parts you should start at the end of the audio file and work your way 'backwards' - That way the timeline doesn't change for you. If you start at the beginning of the file and 17:01 start deleting parts, the timestamps will change later in the file. Sorry if I described that poorly.

Hey bud, just saw your video on Ripple edits. An option is, shuffle left. Go up to drag mode, change it to shuffle left. Works like a charm. Simply highlight delete boom. Automated. Have a good one. :-)

Great tutorial! Thank you! :)
One added tip, if we use the Better Touch Tool we can program our most used shortcuts then edit with the touchpad using one hand. 🙂

[Arsshedrin]

Thank you so much for your tips! I find it even faster to first delete all the unnecessary regions with marquee tool throughout the whole length of the file and only then select everything and use "shuffle left" tool, then with everything still selected do a crossfade to all of them. This way I'm not able to listen in real-time to my edits but I can be 99% sure that they are accurate because I listen and see visually the problematic areas that need to be cut. This way I don't have to stop, ripple-edit and start again, playback goes almost non-stop!

Outstanding, Sam! Just making the move from GB to Logic, and this tutorial has got me fired up! Nearly as delightful as helpful. Ripple edit shortcut and SHIFT F were both money. As soon as I finish this ep, I'll follow your guidance about templates. I'm about to subscribe, and when I feel like my brain isn't full, I'll search your channel for a bus tutorial. Re: other tips, you didn't address disabling playback pre-roll, but I've found it very helpful for exact edits. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You're a bloody legend!!! And thank you for not mucking around for the first 10 minutes and jumping straight into the good stuff

Hi Sam, great tips here!! I'm making changes to my podcast editing template thanks to you! The Ripple delete trick is especially useful when you have multiple tracks — something I was trying to improve with other techniques, but this is so much better.
I use the Shuffle Left Drag mode for the single presenter podcast I edit weekly, but I'll start using Delete and Move (with the Sam key command) so I'm ready for my next multi-speaker project!

It's rare to find a tutorial that goes right into exactly what I need... So thank you for that!

[jimbergson]

Thanks Sam ! just started a podcast gig, perfect timing :)

[living-wisdom]

Fantastic. Thanks so much. Very helpful.
BTW ... / is a forward slash.

[DamageDann]

Thank you! This will speed up my workflow! Amazing tips! Thank you, Sam!

[georgeroskos]

This was hugely helpful - I've been editing a weekly podcast for two years and you just saved me even more time! Would love to see something on stripping silence - settings, etc.

[Gongtopia]

Great tips! I love the ripple edit, as I use this same thing for video in DaVinci Resolve all the time. This will be a big help in Logic. Thanks!

[arthouse-eco]

Editing my own podcast, your tips works extremely helpful. Thank you.

[JamesWoodNarrator]

Thank you Sam!
This was just what I needed to get going with Logic again.
I’ve tried it multiple times in the past but never found a good flow for podcast editing… these tips might just be the key.

[deheiligebron]

Learned something from this to use in my podcast recordings! Awesome.

[Ashish-opyx]

shortcut guru great tips and its a forward slash I think :)

[ThompaThelin]

Thx m8, just started editing a podcast today ! Killer tips !

[MorzakEV]

Hi, thanks for the video, I learned some great new tips, and now I'm a subscriber! Just regarding sidechaining the music compressor, I also do the same thing using the Wavesfactory Trackspacer plugin, and this works really nice, dealing a little high and low cut to keep the feel of the music going without clogging the vocal. However, is there a neat way to get the compressor to "look ahead" and preemptively duck the music in time for the voice. When I've emulated this it just makes the starts of words and phrases a little clearer over the music. I thought about bouncing the music track in place, and then pulling it back in time, but this is a pain if the voice needs re-editing. I also thought about sending al the mics for the voices to a buss after the side chain send, and then adding a delay on them (not an echo but a time delay of like 0.2 to 0.5s) so that they're all shifted 0.2 to 0.5 seconds later. I just wondered if anyone had tried these things before or has a neater way of achieving this?

this is a pretty useful tutorial! nice work as always! that 1 hour offset on the synchronization has always annoyed me in logic. if you don't like it, on your template, you can go to project settings-->synchronization and turn it down to zero. then whenever you use your template (with the secondary ruler turned on) you can see exactly where you are. but it looks like you kind of use it as a guide post to know where the minutes are when jumping around. I can see how that could be handy too.
