In the 15 plus years that i have been using Logic pro x and editing voice overs - this is single handedly the MOST i have frog leaped ahead in my quest to edit voice over audio quicker. I am really grateful for your help and support in this video. For all these years I had been doing a lot of these things manually. I feel like a freebird now.
As a logic-savvy musician, I wanted to start doing voiceovers to help with bills, and this was the most straightforward and efficient explanation thank you!
Sorry if I’m missing something, but wouldn’t snapping it all together when the silences are cut out potentially disrupt the natural flow of the speech? I’m 100% loving the cutting silences part out, but it’s the snapping it altogether after that seems illogical to me. Thanks
Same here @LearnAudioEngineering, could you shed some light on why/when you do this? I think in my use case (video podcast) it would also require me to jump-cut my way through the video too which ... nahhhh 🙂 Love everything else though bro and thanks for the speedy workflow tips!
Dude! This is actually incredible - thank you so much for this. I've been searching to see what the function of Shuffle L for drag but didn't know what it was called. I saw an audio engineer with that function on and only realised now what it's called and how to activate it. Before I was cutting a clip then dragging it with auto cross fade. This is just such a better way!! THANK YOU!
The problem I have with this approach is that now that I have my chapter chopped up into 250 pieces, each time I want to increase the time between sentences or phrases, I have to grab all 250 pieces in order to move them and make room. Also, speeding up the playback does little for me because then I can't tell what the correct timing should be. I'd be curious to see how you actually use these suggestions in practice.
Thank you for this video! I'm brand new to Logic Pro so please forgive me if my question doesn't make sense. Is it possible and would it be beneficial to set up the "Strip Silence" stuff before you start recording? It seems like the way to go if you are doing VO work. Could/Should I set up a sort of template mode for my VO work so I don't have to go through this entire process each time I record VO?
My biggest issue is once I'm editing, there's suddenly tone variants all over the place. It takes me a week to try to manually match all the tones together so the audio doesn't sound like it was recorded in 50 different rooms. Anyone know why this happens? Or more importantly how to prevent / fix it?
