My Studio Gear List:

I personally purchase my gear from Sweetwater and have for over 12 years -- these are affiliate links, meaning you can support my channel by using Sweetwater. The reason I trust Sweetwater is because they have the BEST customer support I have ever seen, two year warranty, free shipping, and they have they best reputation in the industry. You will never see me recommend buying pro audio gear from Amazon

Really enjoyed the video! My number one tip is to read the online manual. In Logic you have a world class piece of highly developed software and you are denying yourself of it's (and therefore your own) potential if you are bluffing your way through on a few YouTube videos. The manual is online, free, broken up into bite size pieces, searchable, cross-indexed and up to date.

I learned way more than 17 tips from this video just watching you maneuver the application. Your competence inspires. Subbed.

Someone may have already mentioned this but instead of using the scissor tool for your secondary tool I find it's way more useful to use the marquee tool. The Marquee will technically is a scissor tool! Just command click and it will slice right where you click and for even more efficient cutting if you click and drag and then click again it'll create two cuts for you in one smooth motion. This is also great for adding automation points very quickly as when you drag and click it'll automatically create four points for boosting or reducing automation values! Incredibly powerful and compared to what just the scissors can do alone

@9:52 when you said you can't undo volume, you actually can.. Just press Command+Option+Z to open Undo History, and enable "Mixer" in "Include Parameters Changes From: Mixer | Plug - In", and now wallah, Cmd+Z undos the volume! because "Volume" is integrated in the "Mixer". I enabled both the "Mixer" and "Plug-In" for extra convenience :) sorry if someone already mentioned it, but I'm too lazy to read the comments.

Thanks for this! Yes, a video dedicated to BUS usage and management would be so incredibly helpful. Much appreciated.

Hey Nathan, I've been working in Logic for 20 years - back to Emagic! But I still learned from this video. Amazing how one doesn't know what one doesn't know:) Many thanks.

[samuelireland]

That strip silence shortcut is a game changer!

[LexaTerrestrialx]

saving presets ... I knew there was a way to do it.. but thanks for showing me.. because once I got the normal vocal presets right.. I didn't want to have to individually do the same thing for each project so i'm grateful now.

[AndrewBernardin]

Just watched this. The first couple I knew from various sessions but by the end...my mind is now blown. Strip Silence and Flex Pitch volume is going to be a game changer for me

[KhasrouhRecords]

16:07 you can improve the sound by changing the pitch method to polyphonic by using Flex Pitch !

[NathanJacksonMusic]

using flex pitch to adjust the level of the vocal is seriously brilliant! thank you
vintage tube eq is one of my favorite plugins, like period.

[danny]

Thank you for these tips! I've been using Logic for years and didn't know some of these.

Hi Nathan. Millard Randolph Curry here from Central Arkansas. I just finished watching this video and was super impressed. I was turned on to you by Charles Cleyn, in my opinion, a very talented, great presenter, in a relaxed way of producing his tutorials. I must say you are more energic and move along at a nice pace. In fact, I was so impressed that I gave you a thumbs up, clicked the subscribe button, and clicked on the personalized notification bell. I'm looking forward to more of you sharing nifty tricks & tips. I came from the days of Logic Express several years ago, in fact, I still love & use it. However, I have 10 to 12 upcoming recording projects that should keep me busy for the next 5+ years. Being retired now, I have all the time I need to get it done before I kick the bucket. Hopefully, my 30+-year-old daughter can continue reaping the benefits of my life's work. Thanks for the info & great tutorial. I learned several new techniques. Keep Up The Good Work Nathan. I'm look forward to learning more from you as time goes by. Take care & keep'em comin'!!!

Perfect I just bought Logic now I can look back and realize there is nothing I wish I knew because I watched this :)

[SatelliteSoundLab]

The tip about locking regions to SMPTE - at about 17:00 - really got my attention. Thank you!

[kennethochoa]

good stuff .... i never knew about about most of this stuff but what hit home as a newbie is that click track adjustment

[sahajsingh]

Logic has best plugins + sounds I’ve ever seen. 💓

[andybullemor-music]

Dude, you deserve a second comment because you are saving my life here with these tips! Also you got a new sub!

[Heathen-Sun]

Omgosh. This is also so helpful. #16 has been a bane to recording vocals but knowing this will save me so much time doing more takes especially when I like a take but there’s that one part ya know? Your channel is so helpful. Thank you.
