I haven't even finished watching this yet but I just came here to say THANKS: straight to the point, crystal clear information, this is all a producer seeking for knowledge wants when they go on RU-vid for info/answers/insights.

Wow! I check two videos and I simply had to subscribed the channel and watch them all. Great content here! One of the best of this kind. You made all explanations fast and simple. Got my attention, no doubt!! Thanks for sharing.

Perfect overview and explanation. Thank you, Mikael. You are making my life so much easier!!

Thank you so much. Your tutorials are the best

Very useful tips. Thanks!

Thanks a lot, very well explained, very useful. I know quite well Logic but I always learn something new with your channel. Bravo!

Great video! Always learn new stuff from you that is very relevant to my way of working.

Three years later - still helpful. Thanks so much!

Wow! This video saved my life. I am recording an excellent pianist that always plays with a huge dynamic range which, of course, is really hard to get translated to various media without compression or EQ artifacts. Though I don't like the idea of having to tamp down the dynamic range of her work, I really don't have much choice - especially if much of her music is going to be streamed over cell phones. It's either tamp down the range of midi velocities and have no compression artifacts or tamp down the audio range with compression and suffer the artifacts. I'll choose the former. Thanks for the vid Mike.

Love the compression trick by pulling velocity and dragging slider back up. Thanks!

i love you!! ❤️

Wow. This has to be the best tricks video for MIDI Velocity.. Amazing! Thanks Mikael! This will help with my compositions so much!

I use Logic from many years but your tips & tricks are incredible!!! in each video I can learn new tips and secrets. Thank you very much!!!!

2021 and this video is still a perfect explanation of velocity. thank you!

Thank you very much! Super useful!

Still great Mikael ! Thanx again and again.

Thanks! This info was very useful.

Sir I still repeat that u r great the main beauty of uer vedio is the telling style which very much clear after hearing uer tutorial I get all my doubt cleared at once again thank you so much sir

Thank you so much for this video! Has saved me so much time

This helps me soo much thank you

Revisited. Cool as always, I remembered things I had forgotten. Thanks Mikael!!

Real great. And further very entertaining! Thank you so much!

how do you change the velocity of a single long note? Say I want the note to begin quietly and rise as the note is played, but I want to use velocity and not volume?

Thanks Mike

Just great !!!

SO great. The 'compress velocity' trick is SUPER clutch for my current project. Thank you!

Your channel is amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

excelent! thanks!

Thanks for this video. Just what I needed :)

I really really love this channel.

thank you

Good teaching! Thanx/Tack!

Thank you very much Mike. I learnt a lot

Some very useful tips here, Mikael. I frequenly struggle with MIDI editing but the biggest problems is that the screen doesn't update when I make changes. I can move a note forward or backwards with the arrow keys or delete a note and nothing happens. Do you have a fix for this?

Thank you, every helpful.

Wonder if the same values to humanize an instrument like a Cello, or Violin, given by the DAW would fit in an electric guitar MIDI line, obviously keeping in mind the guitar techniques, such as; Pal-mute, slides, hammer-on & pull-off, bends, tapping and all the articulations related to play a real guitar. Would I have fix it in that case?... It's more!, if you got a video tutorial just explaining something concerning that, I'd appreciate... Very good job!

hi Mike, thanx for your very usefull video :) i already known some of these tricks, not all...

Hello there! How can I set different midi velocity touch response in logic ? I do not want to press hard the keys. I do not care about the dynamics (the harder you press louder the notes sound) I want the notes to be always loud as soon as I press. When I use my keyboard's internal sounds I hear the sound as soon as I play the keys because I have changed the velocity response on the keyboard to fast response, but I do not like the sounds of my keyboard, I want to play the sounds of logic, but is killing my fingers, I get tired because I have to press hard on the midi keyboard but I cannot play hard if I want to play a fast piece. Please help me Genius.

Thanks, and I thought I knew everything about the Piano Roll editor ;-)

How do you open up automationY

Hello Mikael! Thanks for the video! Regarding #2, Velocity Ramp. If I have multiple notes in a single part, like a piano part, or a polyphonic violin part, using the pencil tool like you said replaces all the velocities and unifies them into one linear line. It doesn't maintain the relative velocities like you are demonstrating here. Is there a setting I need to change? Thanks!

Thanks Mike! I have a question regards to the bar numbers in logic. Is bar number 1 always bar number 1 in Logic ? (In DP is possible to have bar number 1 anywhere). Now imagine you want to have a free click of 8 bars; in logic it is possible to have maximum 8 bars before the first bar, but this is not possible to be recorded as MIDI or i am not right?

Damn i have never heard this before very valuable 😊

When I press A I see nothing?

You're a MIDI-Strings-Master! Thank you.

What the?!?! You can have three tools in Logic?!

your click is to flashy man xD

super! thanks

Very useful, thanks!!!

Oh my goodness!! This is such a blessing. It had become quite hard to play my MPK249 because some of the notes (no matter how soft I played them) would have a higher velocity than normal. The Velocity Processor in the MIDI FX completely fixed that issue IMMEDIATELY. And it was nice to know that I did not need to have any MIDI notes recorded before it worked. PERFECT! Thanks! Now, I will check out the other 6 tips. LOL!

Very useful. Thank you!

I love this channel. I'm classically trained like you, so all your tips really help me. In college, my composition classes were all manuscript paper and pencil. I'm learning all I can in Logic.

Hi. For some reason when I change the velocity, it seems to have no effect on the audio. I see the colors change from purple to red on the MIDI display, but I can hear no difference in the *sound* itself, when I play the music. Some people online have said that this may be due to using a 3rd party plugin. I use Spitfire audio. Does anyone have a solution to this problem or any tips? Has anyone had any similar experiences?

I know it's been awhile since you posted this but it just proved very useful to me for the Velocity Processor which made the inexpensive 88 key "semi weighted" keyboard into a much more lively and interesting keyboard to play - it was just impossible to get the dynamics I wanted. It's still not weighted but now it's usable. Thank you.

thanks man.. been following your channel for a while now. so helpful, can't thank you enough for these vids!

How do make a Lane which will display all the note velocities in a track or region for easier velocity editing and note-by-note velocity editing too. I already have all the notes and they each have their own velocities. Maybe using Data Byte 2 would help in this but that doesn't show up in the Convert Window. Thanks

Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Every one a great tip of which I was unaware. Did I say brilliant? Thanks for sharing your wonderful skill and knowledge.

Thanks!

trick 2 doesn't work the way as described. With the pencil tool line drawn, all velocity line up in a vector line. It does the same thing as the velocity tool.

Hi, Sir Very nice tips your giving and very help full to me

Hello ! How can i just get down the higher notes velocity of my Midi keyboard ? I love to play a pipe organ bank, very realistic but unfortunately the higher notes are too loud rather than the lowest notes ! Actually i need to play on my keyboard ditectly and i need the good velocity setting to fix it in order to have the good sound directly when i play on, is it possible ?

Excellent video!!! I didn't know I could do this! Thank you!!!

New sub here. Thanks for the great info.

Very helpful. Thank you.

cool, but i would like to know, how to make the Diminuendo instead? in case i want the crescendo to come back down as natural as possible? i cant seem to do it ramping down with the pencil tool

Thanks for the to-the-point video.

thanks you very much!

Great tutorial! Number 4 was my go to method for compressing midi but it doesn’t work for me anymore. I can’t drag loudest note up above 127 and viser versa. 😢 looking for an alternative.

this tricks are gold thanks man!

Why don't you turn off the CLICK....................

Thank you. I really like your clear, concise style of explaining Logic Pro. I’ve been using it for a few months and your tutorials have been really eye opening and helpful. It’s such a feature packed program it really helps to see someone point things out. Great work!

Just found you following a specific search for a compression edit method - what a brilliant tutorial. I have immediately subscribed and now need to go through everything to improve my knowledge! Quite simply the best tutorials I have come across - thank you.

Brilliant (and I started with Emagic)

Fantastic tips - thank you Mikael!

Fantastic - really helpful, as ever

Good job and so cool.
