Been using logic for years as a hobbyist but watching these series, I realized I still know nothing about logic. Man you're the best teacher. Thank you so much.

These should be required viewing for anybody starting out with LPX. 200% helpful and perfectly explained.

Even though I’ve been using logic since LP7, I’m always quick to watch your tutorials, I seem to always find something that helps tremendously! 🤘

OMG at last! This is one lesson from you that I must keep as a favourite! I have really struggled with my workflow practice and now? Well, you have kindly answered every single way to use the the midi piano roll properly and so efficiently. Now I can get so much more from Logic thanks to you! I really can’t thank you enough for these tutorials.

Hey Josh...after seeing your Videos I definitely wanted to convey this.. Apart frm the fact that you are an Extraordinary Geek, the extent of intricate details you share with everyone show the Goodness in you, to share without inhibition 👍 Not all Geeks do that🙂 Kudos to you and Thanks a ton 👍

This series is amazing! Keep up the good work man. I have learned a lot so far.

Thank you so much for these tutorials! I've been through 2 books that didn't come close to your lessons. LOVE these! Please don't ever take these videos down, I will need to refer back to them.

Your videos are by far the best way to learn the ins and outs of Logic. Great series, thank you

Excellent video again; I love this series -- thank you !

Ten lessons in, and I've learned so much! Thank you for this excellent instruction!

Thank you! Many tips picked up in this tutorial.

again and again, many thanks for the great tutorials

Oh man thanks so much for this. I’ve been watching the videos and looking forward to some help in the speeding up midi editing. This one really helped me out! Thank you! I’ve been trying to work in logic more and get off pro tools after decades.

Excellent series of videos, especially for someone like me who is totally new to Logic Pro and Mac in general. You are my go to person for Logic Pro tutorials. Thank you so much for your hard work. 6:27 I realised that using Shift while creating a note helps to avoid some the frustration you possibly mean, especially if you have used long notes and then quickly want to switch to a beat-sized note. I did this just out of my FL Studio intuition and it worked to my pleasant surprise.

Thanks again for another wonderful video!

Cool man.. That legato one is mad helpful.. Appreciate you bro..

Wow! You just saved me hours of work!! Thank you for a very clear, logically (pun not intended!) organized and well paced exposition 🤓

Dynamite series!

Gonna watch all these videos but this one was soooo useful!!!

Another great video. I recommend you every chance I get !!

Great tutorial!

you are really the best teacher ever, thank you so much for sharing

Thanks! Very useful info!

As always.... spot on! Thanks 🙂

I was looking for force legato function recently! Thanks

Thank you very much for this valuable lesson!

very helpful, and well done, thnx

Your presentation is flawless. :)

I gotta say, waiting for the next “#Ultimate Guide” video is like hoping it and UPS arrives real soon! 🌟🤟🏼

Beautifully done brother. Logic is powerful...I am comfortable in Logic...but these teachings are great... learning a lot

Sir you have revolutionised this softwares learning with such great resourceful videos of yours which are very rare to find. Huge fan 😍

Thank you so much

Very much content I wasn‘t too familiar with. So I say a big „Thank you“ again!

Great Knowledge Great Videos.

I learned a lot , thank you 😀😀😀

Thank You very much.

dude, it is so damn impressive how familiar you are with the software. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.

Thankyou 🙏🏻

Thank you kindly for sharing your knowledge!🍺🍻🍺

Merci !

thank u

Great series you are making here. I don't own Logic but I consider getting it, so your video's are a superb intro to what I might expect. Does Logic have a strum feature for midi notes, like what exists in FL Studio?

Thx

I don't even own a Mac Computer, (Logic Pro only integrates with Mac) but I still wanted to watch your video in the hopes that I could apply the concepts in Studio One...which can be used on a PC, of which I have both. :D

Thanks for showing us the fundamentals. Question: Within the Piano Roll, when I turn on MiDi Out (Control O) How do I get Logic to play a pointer-selected chord vs. playing the individual notes? I am unable to get the Arrow or selection tool to simultaneously play all of the notes of the chord. I am not quite sure... but I think I was able to do that a few versions ago. Even if I marquee select the chord with the pointer tool it only plays one note.

Thanks so much for these comprehensive videos. I'm using 10.7.8 and in the Piano Roll Editor selecting a new tool for the right/command click no longer seems to work with T followed by Command-.... Any ideas what happened, or what setting I've messed up.

I’m at 13:10 in the video and just said to myself, how do you get rid of those “help tags”???! And, the answer came. We think alike.✌🏼

Thanks for the video (and all the others!). I have a question; it seems I cannot set the same Velocity for MIDI notes by pressing Option and dragging the slider, it sets it relatively

Two things I can't seem to do. 1. Glue tool. Without pressing Command it doesn't work even to show the glue icon. With Command pressed I see the icon, but it won't glue anything. 2. When I try to get a section to repeat, it does repeat, but way further down, not next to the section I want to repeat.

This is a welcome video. I'm a bit green, and my problem is I I'm using a Drummer track, and I extended it out for a bit. When I go to Piano Roll, the first region is lit up, and allows me to edit, but the following regions are not, and I can't seem to figure out how to light those additional regions so I can use my eraser or paint brush. Not sure I'm explaining that perfectly, but if anyone has a suggestion I'm all ears!!

Hello and thanks for helping us..I just need quick help please if you can..Im new at Logic...When you go SMART CONTROLS BUTTON ( B ), there is I can see TRACK - MASTER - COMPARE....The MASTER, its mean for MASTERING ALL TRACKS OR AUDIO?..or its only adding more effects...Thanks

Hello I’m brand spanking new to logic and music production. Do you have a video on music theory and notes and stuff or do I have to learn that elsewhere. If so do you think you can point me in the right direction?

Please get the course on udemy once complete. I will like to have it in an organised way. I can also make notes there.

Hello Josh, first of all,thank you so much for all of your teaching. All I know in Logic x is because of you. I have a situation here, and I believe you can definitely help me out here. I use my digital keyboard as a midi controller and the lowest note it has is C1. Now the predicament I have here is there are many (DMD) instruments which use notes below C1, so is there any way I can take the midi keys in logic one octave higher to make them accessible via my digital keyboard. Thanks in advance :)

thanks gain, please, how do you disable the pop up showing pitch and velocity each time you click on a note?

"You can just press p to toggle the piano roll editor" Oh yes, magic is happening

When I double-click on a region - the editor doesn't open. It did yesterday. Is there a FIX you know of? Thanks in advance.

IS THERE ANY VIDEO ABOUT WRITING SCORES IN LOGIC?

Here to appreciate your eyes.

\ and shift + \ don't really work on a mac keyboard, you need to right click and choose.

You should bare in mind that some of your viewers are beginners, who don't necessarily understand jargon like 'snapping'
