In fact yours is the first channel I've subscribed to... am enjoying the videos. Thanks for coming back to basics for beginners like me.

A superb tutorial, excellent narration. SOOO many KZfaq tutorials are by folks with skills, but little bedside manner. They often need to polish their teaching game. Lacking in this tutorial: "Uh...." "whatever..." "guys...guys...guys" every 10 seconds. "you know..." (no I don't). Nathan, as any great teacher, is well prepared, he moves the narrative along, and leaves you wanting more. So far the best tutorial I've seen about Logic Pro X.

I have created a track using Spitfire Core and I don't know if there is some kind of 'lock' facility, but when I created another software instrument track and open the point roll for some midi editing, all it shows in that window is the midi for the Spitfire Core midi? And I just can't get it to change? Sorry about the long reply, but hey! Great tutorial as always.

Nathan, quick question... I have been recording 20 track sessions every week for about 6 months now without really any issues until about three weeks ago. These recording sessions are usually about an hour and a half of continuous recording. Problem I have encountered is this: I noticed my recording stops now randomly. I will have about 4-5 songs we are doing and when I go to stop recording at the end of the session, I notice the recording already stopped (no error messages), failing to record the last song or two. Any ideas why?

Thanks for any help you can suggest.

@NathanJamesLarsen 3 жыл бұрын

Glad this helped you, Edward. No I don't have a video on that - sorry. That's not a feature I ever use, personally, because I always am starting in Logic and locking tempos in at the beginning with my material. So I'd have to dig into that specific feature.

@FlyFrijole 3 жыл бұрын

@@NathanJamesLarsen Thanks. most of the time things sync up really well . . but I've got one track that is so syncopated that no matter what I try to do, LP keeps putting the downbeat on 4 instead of 1. I wish I could just drag the grid over one beat. I've tried using beat mapping and that helps, but it seems there aught to be an easier way.

Too advanced. Most beginners want to record their voice speaking or a short snippet of guitar music to test the software. It's mainly advanced pros who want to jump into pre-recorded music and do fancy editing such as how strong the note is. Should make a proper beginner's tutorial that starts with the basics such as turning on the computer, hooking up an audio interface, opening the Logic Pro X window and setting preferences and closing and opening windows not needed and then recording the sound (such as pressing the R button and record button). And then saving the sound and bouncing it. Most of the stuff you have in this video is *NOT* for beginners. Try and put yourself in a beginner's shoes.
