I'm self-taught and using this guide to understand logic pro at its fullest potential. Thank you so much for leaving such a huge amount of helpful content here on RU-vid.
You make a fantastic contribution to anyone wanting to really master Logic Pro Straight to the point, practical and no fluff. Thank you . I recommend your channel to all.
I started guitar after I retired around 4 years ago..also looked into recording in LogicX. You've been an absolute fountain of know-how for me.. Thanks for doing all you do, and setting this up as a series...a really valuable resource. All the best.
thanks for the help man. You earned a new subscriber. I am switching from windows and FL Studio over to Mac/Logic after 15 years so I have needed some help lol.
Thanks again, yet more things learnt that I had no idea about, this has given me a much better understanding of what way to save, I may even look into reviewing all my projects and save them differently 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Thank you for this video Josh .. I am an old-school Cakewalk user and have moved over to Logic Pro. Don't know what took me so long but I'm glad I made the switch. I think you've answered my question but I will ask to double check anyway. I am done with my album and would like to move every song (project ) to a portable HD for storage, Do I use the "save project" option with all files highlighted to accomplish this. ? I would like to clear up HD space for the future but do not want to lose all that I have done and have the option to go back to it when I wish. The best example I can make is equivalent to a "cakewalk bundle" Thanks \m/
OPENING said package: I figured out that when you unzip the folder, and DON'T modify the name 😮😅, it opens in logic just fine. (i used another RU-vid and reverse engineered this helpful video to figure that out, using via Dropbox.) Thanks for great content!
thank you! so helpful. Historically, I've lost a lot of audio files while moving either packages or folders (to hard drives or different places on my computer). Any idea what is going on there and how to avoid it in the future?
Great question. Doing a quick asset management before you save and send to a collaborator or another computer will usually help. Check out this video I made on that topic: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZhMclQ5n5Ho.html
Hey Josh, thanks for all the great content. I have a question: When you record audio in Logic, in the audio folder you can see exactly when (day - time) an audio track was recorded. Is there a way to discover when a MIDI track / performance in Logic was first created? (This may be important for musicians / songwriters to prove at what date a melodic idea was first conceived.) I'd encourage others to bounce MIDI to a file (as a back-up) even if the track is not completely fine-tuned or mixed.
Not that I know of. Because audio regions actually create audio files when you record them. However, MIDI recordings are stored internally in Logic projects and do not create separate MIDI files as far as I know. However, you can export a MIDI file out of Logic if you want it to be time-stamped.
I’m able to save my project but once I reopen it to keep working on it the sound is not there. There is input being logged from the keyboard on Logic including the chords I’m playing but no sound. RU-vid audio works fine during that time. I am brand new at this and wondering if it has happened to anyone before.
I wanna ask a issue in logic about audio import. Some audio files are automatically sync tempo on drag drop or audio import even if I don’t want to follow tempo. And when I turned off flex & follow off the audio file sounds very scratched poor. Whats the solution for it please reply 🙏
Hi all, does anyone know how to save your Logic Pro project with just only the audio files that are actually used in the project? If I save my project than it contains ALL audio files that I have been trying out in the project as well but not end up using them but because of this my project size is over 1GB and therefor quite CPU heavy... how can I get rid of the unused audio files in my audio files folder? anyone?
So question, if I save a new project with lets say 7 tracks as a folder, but in an edit I decide to remove some so now I have 5 tracks. And then I overwrite save that revision, will Logic automatically delete those audio tracks from the folder or will I have to do it myself?
The audio content on the tracks? No. Logic, like most DAWs save all of the audio content you record, every take in every take folder is saved unless you consolidate your project. I have a video on that here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-13TN3ozScOU.html
Nice video, very informative. What if you bring in a sample into Logic from a 3rd party sample folder? Is that going to be saved if audio files is checked, or something else?
If you bring it into the tracks area it will go into the audio files folder. If you drag and drop into a sampler instrument (Sampler, Drum Machine Designer, Quick Sampler) it will go into the samples folder.
I would say that is correct. If you decide to share a folder, just make sure the whole folder gets compressed before you send it. Even Logic packages will often need to be compressed as well.
Not really Soundcloud, but the player does function a lot like Soundcloud. It's essentially like Dropbox for music producers, musicians, and mixing engineers. When I do mixing work, I'll upload my clients' mixes to boombox, where the audio is private. Then I can invite the client, or of it's a band, I can invite all band members to listen to the track and comment on the track. Then I take those timestamped revision notes, and I make a 2nd mix revisions, and make a new mix version on Boombox. Once we are all finished, and final payment from the client is cleared, I supply them with a download of their final mix/master. More of like a project management tool.
