I hear you - I was the same when I started out. Getting a great performance is definitely key but knowing what things really make a great take and what things can be fixed easily helps a ton
4 mins and 38 seconds into your videos and already feel like I learned something new. Please keep this going. Appreciating your patients to sit there and really break it down for slower individuals such as i.
This is a great tutorial! However, part of my old-school brain is thinking, “It’s too much!” I like human imperfections. A feel of something less robotic and more alive? It’s like photoshopping a picture for the cover of a magazine to just taking a cool, raw photo of someone. But I do admire the craftsmanship and expertise.
Nathan, I'm a relatively new producer, and I have been absolutely binging your videos to help me learn. Your channel is amazing, and I suspect I will continue to come back to it for years to come. Thank you
Don't demolish his natural sense of time! As a professional vocalist, it's actually good when the vocalist lays back a little. Doesn't look perfect on screen but it sounds much better than manually or automatically quantized time.
All the LPX videos I’ve watched, and channels I’ve subscribed to......I cannot believe I’ve never heard of your channel ! Logic Pro Rules and Music tech help guy are both great too! But I’m glad to have found your channel.
duuude your videos are so so helpful and clear and so easy to understand. thank you so much !

do you think you could make a video on recording acoustic guitar? i tend to make a lot of mistakes in my recordings and i don’t really know to edit it to make it sound smoother and stuff hahah
Great tutorial! Looking forward to learning more on how to edit on Logic! You don't happen to have any tutorials on how to record/add echo/large room type of sound to vocals, do you?
You made this look SOOOO EASY, super easy! Encouraging to see that I too can be like you one day!!! thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world!
Power to you man, it's great to see that I'm not overthinking things/ to see how other people edit their vocals and this was super helpful! Thank you~~
Great tutorial, I was seriously missing out on a lot of editing tools for my own vocals. Also, your friend Ether has some of the best vocals I've heard in a while, so talented!
Hi Bro, thanks for the great videos! can you make a tutorial video about mixing vocal crispy / brightly (EQ, Comp, etc) in Logic Pro X. Can't wait to see!
I prefer if Logic Pro X has options for translucent colors for the regions for better visual to the eyes instead of intense colors for the regions. The waveforms of audios on the regions are fine.
I agree with this - I ended up making the grid lines darker and pop more cause sometimes it is really hard to see through the regions, so yeah agree 100%
I’m amazed that you can edit these without tuning first. I actually have to tune my vocals first before anything bc if I don’t it really REALLY bugs me. The few problems with perfect pitch
WHEN YOU WORK IN FLEX, YOU MUST BE CLEAR THAT YOU CAN HEAR THE MECHANICAL CHANGES IN THE VOCAL WHEN STRETCHING AND SHORTING. USE REMOVE SILENCE AND WORK OUT ON THE WRITE TABLE INSTEAD OF :-). COMPLAIN: BUT IT GETS A MUCH BETTER RESULT AND A FASTER WORKING RHYM
use cmd+T to trim, set secondary tool to fade tool and just press CMD and you can quickly fade your trimmed ends. you can use cmd + your arrow keys to zoom in and out horizontally and you can hold alt/option key and mouse wheel scroll up and down to zoom in and out vertically. or you can hold down alt then hold down mouse wheel and move left and right. up and down. One thing that annoys me is the play head scrolling left and right too fast.
Nathan, how would you apply this approach to drums? For example, let's say a drummer does 5 takes, with a few minor clams in each one. Would you comp together the best take, and then export to a new track, and edit timing from there? OR, would you try and edit the underlying takes themselves in order to avoid that step?
Good video but always show the polished end video so we have a since of where you’re taking us. I am sure your finished product is better than what you had at the end of this video
That's a great idea! I'll put it in my docket. So just to clarify - you're asking how to know when to make some of those creative decisions like doubling and when not to double and such?
Unfknbelievable,....I was perfectly editing my vocals using Flexpitch and for some god awful reason decided to watch your videos and follow your instructions. And now my vocals for some reason just wouldn't play.... they are right there, everything is there but during play back they are completely muted. Ugh! Thanks man.... at least you can update your info to reflect the latest Logic update so people are not going about pressing the wrong keys and screwing up their projects.
Hey Natha, I like how you explain each details on your video, but I'm new and I will appreciate you if you explain me when you you turn the flex on the minutes 6:25 how your came different from my screen I see your have a piano on the side. How I can turn that on exactly like your screen. And you can put the vocals valume up and down like you explained on the video
super useful Nathan. Also, I liked seeing your credits in High Fidelity, a great show. I interviewed Zoe Kravitz this week about the series. Quick question: do you have or could you do a "next step" type thing where you show at what point, and how (bounce vs. export) you consolidate all these individual portions of the lead vox into a single track?
I don't have that Advanced Tools and Editing option at 3:47 on my Logic Pro X, and I cannot have 3 tool functions shown on that audio window below but just 2. In Preferences I've got Enable Complete Featured checked. I hope that gives me everything I can possibly have.
Question: I recorded my whole song,.. did the bounce,… got it saved in my “logic file” now it appears like a “ wave” but I wanna go back to it and edit it! And I can’t find it on my Logic Pro screen… my question,.. “ how can I find songs, that I’ve made,… to edit it them, add more vocals or guitars… thanks bro!
Great tutorial. Having watched a few of your videos now regarding Production vs Mixing, I still have some questions about vocals. So do the following steps fall into the Production phase or the Mixing phase, comping, time aligning, de-noise/de-breath/other fixes, pitch correction, adding reverb/delay/other effects?
Brilliant video! Does anyone know why the cross fade only works for like one cut for me? [Edit] I had drag set to overlap, not "X-Fade", lol. Logic is one the few apps where the help tab is super useful!
