Recording Audio in Logic Pro X (Everything You Need to Know) 

I've been using Logic daily for the past three years and I still learned so much from you! Thank you for this!

I've been searching so long for someone to explain how to gauge db levels when recording. SO LONG!!! lol! This tutorial is gold.

Wow, you really covered some things I've been trying to find having watched a plethora of other videos, even via groove 3 tuts. Among the sought after knowledge was the bit about software monitoring vs. input monitoring. It alleviated a headache I've even tried to remedy for weeks. Very grateful. Thanks!

I have scowered the net and even bought Logic Pro X for dummies, 3 weeks into my Logic Journey, and 3mins into this video, this is the best, clearest, straight forwardest clip i've seen.

This is the first video that really helped me to understand how to work with audio files in Logic Pro X. Thank you so much. You really have the gift of teaching. Thumbs up!

Just found your channel. This tutorial is so helpful. Hope to see more tutorials and content from you

Probably the most concise and comprehensive introduction to Logic IMHO. Thank you!

you are now my Logic Pro X guru. Thanks so much for clarity and ease!

BEST TUTORIAL ABOUT VOCAL ON RU-vid!!! THANK YOU MAN!!!!

As always by far the most useful video about a topic i am having trouble with. Thank you mate for doing this channel i have learned so much and your method of teaching and explaining things makes learning so much easier for me.

Best tutorial i have seen in quite a while. Thank you !

Bless you homie 🙏🏿 u just helped a lot. I’m just getting started with Logic.

I wasn't even looking for anything you covered here, but I'm glad I watched. I learned so many things I was totally oblivious to.

Thank you . Appreciated the info about recording audio and working with flex .

This was such a great video I learned so much! Thank you tremendously!

I recently bought a copy of Logic Pro. Getting started on it is untenably complicated. Considering this RU-vid video. By the 8-minute mark, we are well on our way to a deep dive. We have gone through a dozen setup menus, making critical and non-critical choices alike, in anticipation of putting musical instrument to microphone to Logic. Compare to an Audacity startup for beginners: 1) OPEN Audacity 2) AUDIO SETUP - PLAYBACK DEVICE - SELECT 3) AUDIO SETUP - RECORDING DEVICE - SELECT 4) RECORD (you are now recording) 5) RECORDING LEVEL DISPLAY, adjust input device volume or gain as needed to achieve -15 to -10db 6) VIEW - SHOW CLIPPING - ON (nice to see) 7) STOP when done recording 8) FILE - SAVE PROJECT 9) FILE - EXPORT FILE AS AN MP3. (Easy) Yours is clearly one of the better Beginning Logic videos, but what I wanted was to get to the end of recording a 3-minute song and saving it QUICKLY - by the 10-minute mark, say. THEN, I would have been ready to go back and begin tweaking. Alternative RU-vid video recommendations welcome.

Well done man. So many great insights. I really hope you do more videos. Thanks

i dont understand how this channel and video isn't the most popular in the recording community

thanks man, great tutorial, i use final cut pro x for my job, so i'm a little jumpstarted with it, but this video is helping me throught my guitar recording process. thumbs up!

I was stumped trying to record my YPG-235, but this tutorial finally showed me what to do!! Thanks a lot! :)

the best logic tutorial series so far

Excellent tutorial. Thank you

SOOOO helpful!! Thank you so much, you saved me so much time! Much love

Extremely helpful as I am converting from another DAW to LPX. Great many thanks!

Two points... in the early section on software monitoring, it is worth pointing out that even if you assign a reverb for, say, a vocalist, that any effect that you insert is not baked into the recording. The audio goes straight into the channel, WITHOUT adding any effects. So if you used a guitar amp simulator, the actual recorded sound is straight out of the audio interface. Any effects assigned to a track are only audible in the PLAYBACK of that track's audio. A subtle point, but worth making. Also, in Preferences>General>Editing, you can use the "Right Mouse Button is assignable... to set as a third tool. So that you can have three tools available, Left button, CMD Left button, and Right Button.

This value is crazy! Ti amo!

This is extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

THANK YOU

You are great!

Thank u so much

thank you sir

Thanks!

Excellent! Do you have a tutorial on recording tracks off of an analog 4-track?

best video ever!

Thank you so much

Thanks for the great video. Quick question regarding comping - let's say that I've gone through takes and am pretty pleased with my comping of multiple takes. But if I then record over these comps, then the new take automatically replaces the comped takes as my primary take. Is there a way to turn off this feature so my new take doesn't replace the comps?

thank you!

Thx 🙏

Wow, awesome! I haven’t watched the whole video yet, so maybe this question will be answered. But if not, how do I playback or export a song that starts *with* a pre-roll? Like no acoustic song start exactly on one, right? Doesn’t make sense to me. 🤔 I mean, sure, I can insert silence in the beginning and drag the regions out to the left before exporting...

you are a saint

Thanks a lot, really good tutorial. I tried the solo tool but didn't do the frame by frame movement, do you know why?

This has helped me in school

Love this. My only question to it is we also always recorded hot because 16 bit only had 65000 lines of resolution so we were always wanting to screw asmuch resolution as possible. Today's 24 bit is way less critical. :)

-18 wow I’ve been so focused on hitting 0db for years ! Throw back to a analog ! Wow

Record music, record beauty.

Hey, good video thanks for sharing your know how to beginners like me. I have a question, like I’m new to Logic Pro X and whenever I record a vocal track, I always have the music instrumental at the background of the vocal track, whereas I only want the vocal on that track. I guess I’ve been missing the configuration of the audio recording in Logic Pro X, please can you help me out by coming back on the basic audio recording configuration on Logic Pro X? Thanks in advance

Im looking for guidance on the set-up needed on how I record an audio track onto Logic ProX using my Roland 08 ?

Hey, I am looking to edit a sequence recording of my external sampler to fit in logic. How do I determine the startpoint to slide to the 1 of my arranger view?

Very detailed, but to start recording does one have to put on all of those settings? (I mean it sounds like a alot of things to turn on and set just to record)..js

yayyahh so good

Do you have a video of you just step by step recording a basic song? This is a bit too in depth for me, as I just want to start making basic songs.

Is this continued anywhere please? Looking into Playhead, View and other missing parts of recording/editing (Not mixing)? This really was great by the way, thanks for your help. (Also CTRL when dragging does not turn off Snap temporarily for me it just brings up the Right Mouse Click menu. Neither does CTRL + SHIFT move very slowly freely)

Hopefully you can help.. The problem I’ve been having is the audio coming in SO low when I’m recording my vocals. Also, I’m using a Yamaha mixer as my interface with my keyboard plugged into it. It seems as if it records a double when I have the music tracks playing when I only want my vocals on that track. Hopefully that makes sense. When I’ve recorded music or when I have an audio track playing to sing along to, it includes that audio into the vocal track. Please help!

is there anyway to toggle between an audio previusly recorded at the audio track and the input? As you can make it in Protools (for example) pressing alt K

great video...However, I've signed up twice for the free cheat sheet and still haven't received it?

Can you change the color of audio editor? other than the Ruff on the eyes light blue.

Does the "recording delay" slider in "Preferences effect the quality of the recording at all?

how should i set the mic-in settings in the mac sound panel?

Thank you for your tutorial....Im working on a voice over project .... I was wondering how to make my audio consistent ....Ive done readings and the levels are different ....is there a way to even out everything ...some parts are louder than others

I learned far more from this than any course I've taken on Udemy. Do you have a Patreon page yet?

Why the audio recording sound is very low, when I listen thru the scarlett but when i listen thru thr mac speaker it is ok. How to fix this?
