Welcome to my channel! I'm Wilson Woodyard, a Music Composer/Producer and Mixing Engineer. I've spent the last decade learning and perfecting my skills, all while using Logic Pro X, my DAW of choice. I created this channel as a way to share my knowledge and create a community where everyone can learn, grow, and most importantly, love the music that they create.
If you're not sure where to start, go check out the playlists, I've sorted them all so that everything can be easily found. Please feel free to reach out if I can answer any questions or assist you on your journey. If you're interested in working with me, check out my website or email me at info@woodyardmusic.com
Great setup! Can you also shift between the memory banks with that pedal? To change song without using hands on stage? I have songs that requires three different loops. Is that possible on this pedal? Tanks
I think it's possible but you would need to sacrifice some of the other functionality. You could set the external footswitch to bank up and bank down for instance.
What a nice presentation that where the instruction is not all over the place , Which allows me to focus on one task or track at a time . But what I would like to know , Is combining video with my recordings .
I’m not sure I understand your question. Do you mean adding a video track to logic? Like scoring to picture? Or exporting the audio from logic and syncing it to video in another program?
Ok so here's the Question. I have an external keyboard that I'm using to record into logic....I create the mic/line channel and I can hear it, I create another audio channel below it and place a logic audio loop into that channel click the loop button so that I will loop but for some reason when I have the loop audio going I lose sound on the keyboard. I can't hear it at all. when I stop the loop, the audio of the external keyboard comes back. Am I setting something up incorrectly?
Ahhh, I know what’s going on here. Logic has this weird quirk that I haven’t found a workaround for. If you have a channel armed for recording and hit play, you won’t hear the audio that you input into the channel. You either need to just hit record while you play your keyboard over the loop, or turn off the record arm and hit play. Input monitoring can stay on for either of these options. Hope that helps!
"everyone's favorite the Sweetwater candy"! - personally I HATE the candy being included. Its the cheapest candy ever made, it's the most annoying thing sticky, and one more I have to throw away. I can't be the only one that thinks this way right??
😂😂 this is the best comment. I can’t tell you the last time I ate the candy. Sometimes I put it out in a bowl when people come over if I want to be fancy
Hi, i use an audio plug in but i still here my voice in addition to the effect i want…how can i turn off my voice knowing the mix in the plug in is 100% on the plugin? Thanks🙏
It sounds like you are hearing monitoring from both your plug in and your interface. You’ll need to turn on the monitoring from your interface so you only hear the plugin
@@woodyardmusic thanks for the answer...i will try tomorow! the only problem i have is that if i turned down the volume on my interface, i will not hear myself singing...but i will explore this tips to find a solution ;)
Beautifully clear! This journey has just about turned me off to Kontakt completely. Happily, your video exists! Looks like Logic Pro has prepared itself for this eventuality better than most; and second, your clean approach was--at last--refreshing, making the process understandable and WAY less nerve-wracking. Thanks so much! NI can take a lesson from you.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I made the video specifically because I couldn’t find one and spent many hours trying to figure it all out. Maybe NI will let me make some videos for them someday 👀
Not sure if you'll be able to give some guidance I've encounter recently. I've been working on a Live Loops session with the Track View window open side by side. So within the Track View window the cycle range is active (yellow bar) but below on the ruler section (where the play head resides) there appears to be a transparent cycle range that I can't seem to get rid of. Every time I attempt to double click on it to try and remove it, Logic Pro crashes every single time.
That’s wild 😮. I’d honestly report that straight to Apple and see if they have any advice. I don’t work in Live Loops enough to really weigh in on that!😊
This was a great video. Very thorough and easy to follow. It wasn't rushed and all over the place. It felt like a great step-by-step guide that visibly can be retained the next time I load up LP.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the Logic Drummer. Like you, I’ve been a drummer and not quite satisfied with what I got from the Logic Drummer. This is game changing for me so a big thank you.
This was so precise and clear. Thank you so much. I have Kontakt and Maschine, and I've been having a hard time getting this to work between the DAW setting and the multi output settings within the VST/AU instruments to correspond within the DAW. I'm going to try this step-by-step guide and hope I'm successful in finally getting this to work.
This is the comparison and review I needed. No bias, just the facts. Looking for a simple interface to bring for a liveset, and the SSL2+ sounds like it's the way to go. Thank you for this!
That’s exactly the goal of the video haha. For mixing, overheads got EQ and compression from waves SSL channel, gentle moves here because it’s a full picture of the drums. Kick was SSL channel, cut lots of mids (around 700hz) plus gentle tweaking here and there. The main source of low end for the kick was waves RBass, but boosting the lows on the EQ will work too. All channels went to a drum bus so receive gentle compression, parallel compression, and a bit of room reverb.
Damn thats impressive! The only thing I dont like is the unprocessed kick sound, but that was totally fixed in the post, may I ask you what did you do to that kick? And the other drums and cymbals sound really good with this technique, definitely gonna give it a try
Mostly my standard EQ and compression (you can find that all over my channel), I think I used waves SSL channel for this one. then I used Waves RBass to add LOTS of low end around 45hz. The 57 doesn’t have a ton of lows so you really need to add some to get it to feel right.
For live I’d probably move the overhead that’s near the floor Tom over to a snare close mic, so I could have kick, snare and overhead to mix with so I had a bit more control of the important elements
The only person on RU-vid I have seen get the chords, voicing, and tone perfect without adding a whole bunch of useless garbage. You definitely know what it's like to play in a band. Everyone plays basic, boring parts over and over again, but together, everything locks in and sets the groove. Too many people try to overcomplicate it. I saw another tutorial where the guy used maj7 chords when they are clearly minor chords. 😑 You have a great ear for music, sir. Well done.
Off the top of my head, I think you need to bounce the tracks in place, then export them. I’ve had a couple people ask so I’ll try to do a follow up video sometime soon!

That chair looks like a nice place to kick back and jam
While the SSL 12 does have 32-bit ADAC conversion, the bigger, more expensive SSL SiX and BiG SiX Mixers only use 24-bit ADACs and they cost $1300 and $2700. So, how important is the 32-bit ADAC vs 24-bit ADAC? It’s nice to have, but not reason enough to jump from either SSL 2 up to the 12. You need more reasons than just the ADAC to spend 2.5 to 3.3 times more money, IMO.
Yeah, I bought it for the preamps & ADAT. I have enough stuff in my studio that I’m pushing like 10 inputs so it’s nice to have everything plugged in. (Using a focusrite for ADAT inputs)
I bet a lot of people buy the 2+, when all they need is the SSL 2 for $50 less than the 2+. Most of us are using USB MIDI these days and don’t need the 5-pin MIDI jacks. ONLY if you have external MIDI gear which only connects via the 5-pin MIDI cables, do you need the 2+. If you need 4-inputs or more, then the SSL 12 is for you, with its ADAT expandability to add more and more preamps and inputs.
