Mate, you just nail it with these videos. You don't talk too fast, you don't get sidetracked, you don't skip anything. And nonchalantly dropping in a music lesson on rhythm in this episode made me smile and laugh out loud. Showing how to use Logic as a creative tool but covering the tech stuff we need to know. Nicely done. This is better than Netflix.

Josh, people ask me Logic questions quite regularly. I don't answer them directly anymore, I just guide them to your channel. Thank you for this brilliant resource.

I have been using Logic Pro for almost a year now, but these videos are allowing me to consolidate and deepen my understanding of this remarkable DAW. Thank you so much.

I'll reiterate, brilliantly taught, clearly and concisely explained in total detail...never misses a beat.

I have been a Live user for 10+ years. However, some projects I've started working on kind of force me to finally jump into Logic Pro and let me say this - your tutorial series is by far the BEST, most intuitive and comprehensive guide to this DAW out there. Thank you, Sir!

I can't believe it! This is a Nobel prize explanation of the Logic grid system. Do you have a doctorate in Logic? Whoah.

Please keep doing this sort of videos! You are amazing. I have been watching Logic videos over the last 4 years and you simply are the standard! Unlike other KZfaqrs, you explain the why. Well done

You sir are really doing the world a service. Here please, have my subscription!

❤❤❤. Thank you very much for your fabulous new videos on Logic Pro! I really appreciate how you explain things so clearly and most of all, I love how you zoom and focus the display items you are talking about. It is very hard to figure out sometimes what people are explaining because the image on our screens can be fuzzy or too small. Thanks again you are now my favorite Logic instructor.! Keep it up you are good!👌✌🙏

Thanks again for taking time to explain all this to us!!! You are a great instructor !! Keep on keepin'

Thank you! This is an excellent tutorial, well explained, enunciated and specificity of language use and articulated with perfection. Cannot recommend more highly.

Спасибо за урок, очень полезно! Продолжай

THANKS!

Thanks!

Tnx!!!

Thanks for this series. It's fantastic. Would you consider doing a tutorial at some point about using Logic to produce video? Let's say I'm recording my guitar playing into Logic while a camcorder is recording the video. What's the best way of syncing the audio with video and going about editing? Thanks!

ive been a sub since 2017 (what happened to the rock intro? haha) my brother and i just want to let you know that you are an amazing human being . thank you for all the work you do !!!!

Hey there! All of this super helpful. Thank you! Quick question: do you have any of this content in written note form? I'm currently writing down all of the highlights of what you're saying in my own written notes, but if you happened to already have that and can share... THAT WOULD BE A TIME SAVER! You rawk.

wow i see Logic getting better every major update

But how do I set two grids for the same project like the Billie Jean song?

Hi, thanks for your hard work, and explanations. I may solve my "problem," maybe not. I have a piece in 2/2 time, and as you know that means the 1/2 note receives the beat. However, Logic's tempo setting still reflect the 1/4 note. If the tempo is 1/2 note = 112 bpm, I am forced to set the tempo at 224--frustrating, annoying and stupid. I can work around, but should not have to. What am I missing? Thank-you.

Do you know if it’s possible to use a custom grid? Like a 5 division? Quintuplets. So 20.

Why not use an overhead shot gun mic? Great content, presentation etc. Is it just part of the youtube vibe to have a mic in front of you?

Ok, so I'm following along with this and it seems like if I'm zoomed in far enough (like aaallll the way) that it will let me place the playhead anywhere, even between the ticks, EVEN if I still have snap grid (set to ticks) turned on. When I zoom back out just a little, it seems to go back to snapping to the ticks. Does this sound right or am I crazy? I also tried it with the sample snap and the playhead is acting like snap is off but it's not. What am I doing wrong??? Thanks for this series BTW. It's been super helpful so far!!! (Oh, and one other question: Does smart snap mean it will snap to whichever division is closest to the region/playhead when you release your mouse? I assume this is what you mean and it seems to be what it's doing...)

I liked your explanation Bruh. But,Logic pro is lacking in the feature of grid division in swing.It’s the main flaw which I have encountered in Logic Pro X and it is difficult for me to work without the swing division in grid lines.

After cubase/nuendo 15 years ago when I switched this part of logic was the most annoying/weird thing ever. When I clicked the playhead it went to in between values no matter what I set up at snap to settings so I misaligned regions when I pasted them maybe they fixed that already. It is still set to relative values by default which is just crazy. And when You have a perfectly aligned note or region, the GUI often shows it off the grid. Why the quantize note end is so hidden and cumbersome to use. Crazy. Eventually I got accustomed to it and know how to use it, but the relative value thing is still killing me why it is default and why it is implemented this way. Also why midi chase is not default??? And why these things cannot be changed to default, I know, make templates but still, I feel like despite some new fancy updates they don't actually develop it the way it should. So many outdated things in it even in the 11. Cool video your videos should be included with the purchase.

God I wish I had watched videos on logic years ago. I had been guessing with triplets and then quantizing for years and like a month ago decided to look and see if there was a way to adjust the grid 🤷‍♂️ oh well, better late than never.

Bars, Beats, Battlestar Gallactica

Josh, what mic are you using in this?

👍

Logic Pro #07 , when ? 😅

Bars. Beats. Battlestar Galactica.

քʀօʍօֆʍ

the ability to see the grid line divisions when regions fill the screen is horrible.

🩶 Miracle. So thankful you mentioned the triplet divisions (/12) on the ruler divisions. My intended recording project is all in swing/shuffle and I'm placing kicks and hi-hats (audio segments) and it makes snapping the the swung ones so much easier. Excellent example of Billie Jean (straight) vs The Way You Make Me Feel (swing). Very clear and concise video.
