Great to hear that! Yeah - There are a bunch of drum tricks to make them really glued to the track. *TIP* One great drum tip is to send the drums (from the tracks) to an Auxiliary (I use my multi-purposed Side Chain Aux's) and on that Side Chain, add a compressor with a smashing setting - like over-compressed. Then bring your Side Chain fader down to zero, and start moving it up until you hear that 'glue' effect. This technique also works for acoustic guitars, bass and anything that doesn't quite feel married to your mix. Thanks for your feedback!

Nah, I'm just sharing what I know so Logic users can get the best experience. Thanks for commenting!

@@GGabrielMusic appreciate the effort you have put in... cheers to you for sharing 👍🏻

Thanks! It is more of a house keeping thing and a preventative measure. Read Automation will be ready to use it on the track/bus/aux/out levels - but I don't want it activated until I am ready to use it. While 'Read mode' may not transfer over from the Environment to the main screens, I want to ensure that it is only activated when I want it to be activated. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for your comment!!

Check out part 7 - I made a correction on the multi-timbral instruments. I have been using Logic so long, I forgot the simplified it a few years back. Reach out to me if you're still having issues.

It’s not saved as a template for me, I just save it as a session and put that session in my dock - when I start a new project, I open up the AutoLoad and immediately do a save as whatever my project is.

@@GGabrielMusic thanks for clarifying!

Thanks so much! YES - I will be explaining that all in the last video of the series and showing how it all works.

Terrific, I so look forward to it. I am learning so much from your videos. I appreciate the time you put into responding to our questions, and sharing your vast experience in these series. The video making process is extremely (in my experience) time consuming. You are making this so understandable and doable, after reading the manual, watching so many KZfaq videos, etc. (And I even used to live near Paramus, by the way.) Your enthusiasm is inspiring.

You've made my night! I am very thankful that these are being so well received - my intent is to really allow people to not be bogged down by the technical stuff and just be creative. Creating music is such a wonderful thing and when it can be done unencumbered, it is that much more fulfilling! Side note: I grew up in Northern Jersey (Ramsey) - I miss the East Coast food.... It's the real deal! Anyway - the rest of the videos in this series will be out before the end of the week. Thanks so much for the dialog!

Ramsey! No kidding. I grew up in Lake Hopatcong. I live in Izmir, Turkey now and moving to Dubai in a few months. Life is a wild ride. Anyhoo... jonesing for the rest of this series. When will they drop? @@GGabrielMusic

Just dropped part 6 - 7 will be in the next day or so. Also will be doing some new content related to making music! Thanks for your comment!

Yes, you will see how they work in the 7th video in the series. They all should be released by Friday.

Well, that depends on just how much work you want to do to deconstruct your songs - but generally speaking, yes - you start from here, this is not necessarily a retroactive thing. Thanks for your question!

I figured out how to change it so I did. Not sure why though... but my intuition is telling me it is needed.

Yes - there should be 8 of Instrument 49, eight of 50, eight of 51 and eight of 52. Those eight of each instrument should be assigned to midi channels 1 - 8 respectively. Hope this makes sense. If not, let me know and I'll further explain. Thanks for reaching out!!
