So happy I was able to help!! More to come!

Yeah - it's a game changer!!

My pleasure - look out for the other parts dropping soon!

Thanks man! There are more in this series coming - also, I want to do that collab soon too - just moved, so things are a bit crazy!

You're very welcome! More to come!

My brain is cursed - continually repeating whatever the last musical thing I heard - sounds like yours it too!

@ the audio memory is strong. Brother from another mother?

You are most welcome! Glad I could help!!

I wish!! That is something I've been thinking about for years, being able to draw fades with the fade tool on midi. You can do it with automation (that is the level) but it is more cumbersome and you can also fake it with automation using pitch bend, but that is a stretch at best. My best advice if you want to do that with midi (kinda) is to bounce your midi tracks in place and add them back as audio. Anyway - hope this helps!!

My pleasure! Coming very soon is a new series of videos making professional tracks from start to finish using only stock Logic sounds and plugins, so stay tuned for that! Thanks for commenting!!

Thanks for the comment! Here is a video I did on bussing where you can see this in action: ua-cam.com/video/dHH5Zti1hGE/v-deo.html Let me know if this helps!

Hey - thanks for pointing this out. I need to do a more extensive video on exactly how to tweak each parameter and what each parameter does. Thanks for the comment - I'll add this to the list!

Thanks Dave!!

Thanks! Great to see you here!

Thanks for watching!!

If you have a stereo pair, I would make sure they are at a 90 degree angle, but this technique is really to identify the problem frequencies in your room, so a single mic can do that. Thanks for commenting! Much more to come!

To answer your question, along the way I am balancing the tracks to work with the other instruments using the same bus. Then I balance the busses to work with each other in the mix. Yes, I definitely use EQ to minus undesirable frequencies. I pan on the track level (not the bus level) and yes, panning is key for separation. I'm so glad this is working for you - please feel free to ask any questions on this so I can help improve your workflow. All the best!!

Yes - I am working on that right now. Please come back soon as I will have an avenue for that very soon.

Template available now! Check out the video for the link.

Well alright then - you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I don't equate my podcast mic dynamics to my nearly 30 years of experience creating music that hundreds of millions of people have heard. Perhaps you can move past the sibilance of the mic and actually listen to what I am presenting in the content and then comment. I'd love for you to do that and come back to me for a dialog. Thanks for commenting!

@@GGabrielMusic And you're welcome to keep piercing listeners ears because you can't hear that any more

Will do!

Rob! It is always good to see you and chat. I have been a little AWOL because I moved across country and just getting back into it on high speed. Your commentary is hilarious! Always an entertaining discussion with your insights on reality. I'll be back with tons more stuff in the coming weeks. Look forward to more 'how it really is' dialog with you in the near future!! Cheers my friend!

HAHA! Yeah, that is the point I think, we are all sound designers of sorts and the more we can design ok samples to sound more real, then that separates us from the average joe just dialing up what Logic gives you stock. Thanks for commenting!

Yeah - results may vary depending on your settings. It really is how and if the tool is working for you, and if it is - then by all means, use it! Thanks for commenting!

@@GGabrielMusic Thanks

My pleasure - much more to come!

So happy that I could help! Lot's more videos on morphing Logic sounds to sound pro. Thanks for commenting!!

Amazing! I love it when it all comes together. Thanks for commenting!

Thanks for commenting! Nah, I won't be out of a job, I know how to use the plugin and I have no doubt this improved your mixes taking them to the next level as an amateur. That said, when you look to recording from a holistic perspective using the tried and true techniques that all of the major records are using today (from recording to mixing and mastering), and getting a hold of those techniques, you can take yourself out of the amateur standing to a whole other level. Keep commenting and watching!

My pleasure - much more coming soon!

Great - glad it was helpful to you! More to come!

Thanks so much!

My pleasure! Much more to come!

Thanks for commenting! Yes, I remember good ‘ol Emagic - I started using Logic in 1994 when they had a serial dongle to use it. I too used to use external equipment to master, but since I work in TV, I had too many mixes that I had to recall and had to start taking pictures of my gear to get back to what it was on that mix. I was using a Manley Massive Passive EQ and an SSL G-Series compressor - when UAD came out with those plugs, I ditched the real gear for the plugs. I will say, even though the plugs are great, nothing compares to real gear. I appreciate you weighing in! Come back for more. I will launch a much greater effort in the coming months as I have just moved and I am setting up my new studio, so stay tuned!! Thanks!!

My pleasure!! Much more to come on improving Logic sounds!

My pleasure - lots more with Logic only sounds to come!

It’s a personal preference. I use stereo because even if everything is recorded in mono, our ears are stereo and a mono signal will still be mono on a stereo bus. As far as the binaural trick, if you feel it’s working and there are no issues of phasing or anything then that’s fine but be aware, the binaural panner uses filtering and other time-based techniques that may alter the sound of the kick, thus giving you that new sound. That could be a good thing or it could be a bad thing.

@@GGabrielMusic Sound is a very fluid concept. I was born with a couple of issues one of which is a hearing anomaly that doesn't allow me to hear much above 5400. So I put a self made EQ that attenuates everything above 5400. It's not an exact science but my wife hears bug farts so I run things by her especially that hats. In that area do you have a rule of how loud hats should be in the mix? I mean if you kick and snare is -12 the hats should be -18? Thanks for your videos.

Hey - so sorry for the late reply on this - my general mix rule is lowering the entire mix so I can just barely hear it fully, then I mix my hi-hats and high frequency instruments based upon that mix. I know with your hearing anomaly that may present a problem and I never really did a db difference test on that, but the thing with things like hi-hats, is they are fast - they rise and fall quickly and they also occupy a frequency range that is outside of the bulk of the rest of the track. That makes a simple db difference a hard thing to figure out - I think it is the right approach with your hearing anomaly and I would start with a cut of 6 db, but you may need to cut is much as 12 or 18 db depending on the track. I'd be happy to listen to one of your tracks and give you my assessment. If you are interested, let's figure out a way where I can get that from you. Thanks for the dialog!

@@GGabrielMusic Thanks for this reply but you already replied 2 months ago.

Yes I can! I’m in the middle of moving, so once I get settled in I’m going to ramp up this page big time and your video will be made! Thanks for your patience!

My pleasure! I know how hard it is to get into (and remain relevant) in the business so anything I can do to help others make me happy. We need to stick together and help each other out!! Thanks for commenting!!

To make 48k the default, go to File>Project Settings>Audio and you can set it there. Thanks for the question!

Yes - you are correct and I knew that, but misspoke in the video. I appreciate the correction!

My pleasure! Lots more to come with Logic sounds....

Thanks so much!!

That is a good suggestion. Sometime I forget that I am in the AutoLoad and start recording audio then realize it is adding the audio to the AutoLoad audio folder. I have backups of my AutoLoads in case. But your suggestion is a good one! Thanks for the comment!

I set all my busses to -12. If you set them at zero, you'd blow up the stereo out. When I have a very full mix, some of my busses may end up at -18 or even lower. Thanks for the question!!

I didn’t know what you were talking about so I looked it up - yeah, I guess it’s similar - never saw that before so I guess it’s a thing….

Yeah - I sometimes forget things that Logic can do too! Then I’m like, oh yeah - that would be much easier to do it this way…. Then I forget again 😂

Ha! Thanks - wait for the next one..
