Dude. You have reached teaching nirvana. This is your calling. Watching your videos ALWAYS teaches me so much! Thank you for the coherent, easy-to-follow, incredibly helpful videos. Keep it up!
I know im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost the account password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Gideon Zayn Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I saw 53 minutes and I though 'no way am I going to watch all that in one sitting' ... 40 minutes in, you got me. Fantastic content man! Thank you so much
Logic's built-in stuff is usually a bit second-rate but they really hit out of the park with Retro Synth. It's not the most feature-packed synth ever but it sounds great and it does most stuff you'd ever want it to. It's always the first thing I reach for if I want a synth sound.
Logic is widely considered to have some of the best built in plugins and synths of all DAWs haha you’re definitely in a tiny minority of people if you think it’s second rate
Thank you so much for this video! Really pedagogic and nice! I just bought a prophet ´08 and I´m starting to undertand more and more how it works now! thanks!
Thanks for the great video. One correction though: if you detune one wave by 10cents, you have to detune the oscillator to -10. +10-10=0 +10-5=5 Please continue making these videos. You are a lifesaver and I can't express how useful they are being!
No, he's actually correct. When you detune the entire synth, you're actually detuning the second AND first oscillator. So since the second oscillator is +10, it then becomes +5 after detuning. Likewise, the first oscillator becomes -5, leaving two detuned oscillators: one at -5, and one at 5, keeping the synth pitched correctly.
Good lord Music Tech guy.. That took me 3 hours to get through (taking notes).. Thank you so much for the information (and the headache).. but, I have a much better understanding now.. Although, I have a feeling I haven't learned anything yet.. but its a great start! Thanks again!
I feel you, I've been binge watching and learning and taking notes for 4 days straight now, it's hard on the mind, but also so much fun to learn all this information, it's pure gold! This man's knowledge runs deep. Small tip, you can speed the video up a bit, I put it on 1,5 speed, makes a small difference but helps.
I have the exact same synth, do the exact same settings as you, yet my sound is completely different! Why is this? Great tutorials as always, but this one was especially helpful!
Just the L1 Ultramaximizer from WAVES. It's just there to keep the signal going to my screen capture from clipping. The other two you see are the Retro Synth (obviously) and just a send going to my screen capture.
+Perice Pope It must be a RU-vid or Browser glitch. There's nothing wrong with the video. 21,000+ people have already watched it. Maybe try a different browswer, or updating Adobe Flash player? Good luck.
+MusicTechHelpGuy thanks! It was a small glitch! Great videos! Thanks so much! Could you shoot me a link to longer videos you do on the Es24 & es2 synths?
Hey can someone help me I am trying to get the feel of two different Drake songs one is called buried alive and the other is my side. Can someone brake those songs down for me?
MusicTechHelpGuy, hilariously literal username aside, is without hyperbole probably the best Logic Pro teacher/explainer on the interwebs. Every single video is useful, find-able, insightful, and balances through with accessible perfectly. Thanks for continuing to crank these out & make them available for all of us.
I totally agree with all the comments on here that speak so highly of this guy. I have spent a lot of time and money trying to understand the stuff in this video and other videos of his. MusicTechHelpGuy's style of teaching has made it all click and all of a sudden, everything now makes complete sense. Gone are the days at looking at a synth and only half understanding what is what, but also being confused and frustrated by the stuff I cannot grasp. I cannot thank you enough and if any keen beginners are reading this comment; take it from me this is the guy and the channel you want to start spending a lot of time on.
Josh, thank you so much for these tutorials. It's very apparent that you are very passionate about what you do and genuinely enjoy putting these videos out to help others out. Thank you.
Wow. This is exactly what I've been wanting know about sound synthesis. Thank you so much - I'm excited to watch the alchemy videos now. Is there somewhere I can donate?
This was *exactly* what I was looking for. Sooooo helpful 🙏🏻 (Especially when paired with an oscilloscope plugin, to really see how all these parameters shape the waveform.) Thanks for creating and sharing! Subb'd.
Great tutorial, so far. Not sure if you can change it, but the chapter title for "Vibrato" on the Analog synth reads "Vibrator," which may be not what you want it to say. Thanks for the music-tech help, guy.
Very nice tutorial sir. Question. Is it somehow possible to link some sliders and control knobs of the retro synth to an external midi controller connected to the mac so that the parameters can be quickly changed on the go during live performance?
Holy shit, this is good! Such a great overview of the retro synth. I learned so much, and will be experimenting a lot with this in the future. Thank you so much!
dude you're a genius! where did you learn all this stuff? I'm a musician, and you explain this stuff perfectly, it's fun to understand all those functions by sound... wow !!
Thank you for these awesome videos! I just got Logic X and recently a Mac and these videos are exactly what I needed to get started. I've learned so much in this series, which I've been watching intensively for the last few days, not just features and functions but also foundational knowledge like in this one about synthesis. Thank you so much. You're a great teacher and the videos are brilliant. Peace, Namaste
A genius with the magnanimity of sharing knowledge...thats what you are! Thanks for all your great tutorials..my only regret, I saw your videos quite late in my Music journey as a Composer:( Anyway better late than never..:)
Fantastic tutorial... Basically what everyone else said, but it was worth saying again. Every. Single. Option. of RetroSynth explained in detail... Full marks!
Make sure you have open a Software Instrument track and not an audio track or External MIDI track. There's an insert on the channel strip labeled "Instrument". Click on that and you'll find it there. If you're just browsing through presets in the Library you may not run into it so easily.
Hello, After watching our tutorial, ( really good thanks), i have a question. I am using preset 'sunrise chords' and its panning automation preset within it, how can i control the panning within the retro synth. Thanks for your help :)
Hi!! first of all, many thanks for your videos - they are great!! Is it possible to map the controls from Retro synth to the modulator? Thank you in advance!!
Just rewatched this video. This series is still very good and helpful. Your newer videos are even better with the improved sound/video quality and editing! :)
Man thanks for your great videos, you are my greatest source on learning music and logic pro! I really need to know though, what are those chords you so often use? Im learning to play piano/synth too and those chords really styck to me. Thanks again, your videos are gold, if it wouldnt be for these i'd probably would have given up a long time ago
great video. It's interesting how we say "you don't want to turn the voice detune too high". It's like no trespassing. Secrets lie there. Horrible secrets!
I watched your EFM1 video where you explained the ratio for the FM, I see in the Harmonic fade I can only go up to 1, does that mean I cant have a different ratio..? could you explain how the ratio work in the FM synth of retro synth ?
Thanks so much for this amazing, amazing series of Logic Pro X tutorials. The package is enormous and your information is so helpful! It has saved us hours of hard slog. Cheers Mate from Glenn & Dave.
how did you open that editing window? I found the "retro sparkle synth" in the library, but no regular retro, then I clicked on it. Now that I want to experiment with oscillation, I'm not sure where to open the window to do so
great, awesome, exhaustive, I love your work : you are the first that answers questions the manual does not . The more I watch your video the better I use Logic . I do thank you a lot
