- I can't say it enough times: I LOVE LOGIC PRO X. It just does exactly what it's meant to, and does all those things extremely well! Whether it's multitrack recording, producing, mixing, mastering, Logic seems to have this uncanny ability to make your life easier.
Here's my top reasons why I can't live without Logic, and, if you're watching the video, why you probably can't either.

I just sent you a big thank you. Actually 15 bucks which amounts to about .0001% of the value you provide to me every single time that I pop in and learn something. You are not only clearly a master of what you do, but you are articulate, and you present fairly complex ideas in a very straightforward manner without ever patronizing. You are a born teacher. Thank you.
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.
I've been a long time Cubase user on PC. I switched to MAC just over a month ago as I got fed up with my PC updating etc. My aim was to run Cubase on MAC.
However, because I was on MAC for first time, I could try out the Logic trial!
I purchased Logic before the end of the trial and Cubase is now not on my MAC.
Agreed, Logic is so much more intuitive. I can get things done quicker. It's also more fun to be creative as a musician. Did I say fun 😅
Your videos are very helpful thanks.
Logic will ALWAYS be my daw of choice
Excellent, couldn't agree more!
So happy i found your channel dude
Great channel! I subscribed. This summer will be three years for me as a recording engineer. When I originally did the research, I concluded that what matters most is that you pick the DAW that is best for you. I was a performing/recording musician of many years turned music and vocal coach. My most serious voice students became artists of various styles. Some of my singers wanted the sound of the modern beatmakers for hip hop and r&b. Others wanted the natural sound of the piano for the pretty pop ballads. Others the guitar for blues, rock and country. The logic really does it all. Most recently I'm also doing soundtracks for TV and film with the help of the logic pro. For me and my artists, it was the best decision I could have made.
Wow brilliant 👏💯
Hi ! I was Cubase user but 4 years ago I switched to Logic Pro X ! This DAW is phenomenal and I think is the best DAW in my opinion !!!
Well explained. Thanks🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Than you so much! - Your info is priceless for me as a Logic beginner!
Sam I always dig your videos I would be stoked to see you do a in depth video on drum editing in Logic. I love Logic but it is difficult for me to edit live drums I have tried many times using all the tricks and it never seems to work quite right. I think it isn't so bad with a straight forward somewhat slower beat but I get all kinds of artifacts when it is a more complex beat and I primarily work on punk songs that are faster. I would really be into seeing how you go about this. Thanks for your videos I have learned a lot.
Great summary Sam.
I am new to your channel but i absolutely love it, you are so good at explaining , thanks for passing on your knowledge, top man!
Thanks for checking it out!
Great thanks - and great to find someone who really appreciates LPX - the best DAW out there and the GUI is by far the best too.
Hello Sam! I’m glad I found you!
I watch a lot of production and editing tutorials and the ones using other DAWS, I find their physical layouts awkward and confusing.
Logic Pro is just so easy to get around in and the interface is simple and pleasant to work with.
I have the same likes as you describe in this video! I’ll be looking forward to more of your videos.
Gianni❤
Thanks for checking it out!
Agree! The more I use Logic, the more I appreciate these simple features.
@11:53 Pro Tools has this. That's one of the things I miss when mixing on Logic.
Thanks!
Great Sam! Another thing that would be amazing they add is adjusting the height of the faders, the numbers are very small and it gets worse if you have a small screen!
Agreed. It would be cool to be able to customise the mixer even further.
Logic lover here too lol! I make my living using Logic. I've used Pro Tools, Cubase, and Studio One all regularly in the past. Logic is just what I find the best for me. The only thing I wish was different was that we could search for plugins! I pray for it every update but it never comes. I use Plug Search from Speakerfood but it would be nice to have it as a stock feature!
+1 for search. I'd also like to have drag & drop, a feature in other DAWs that really is a time saver.
@@faragher Ohhh drag and drop would be nice! Didn't even think of that. A main plugin window like S1 would be great too. When you open a plugin, all the other plugins have a tab at the top of the window so you can switch quickly between them.
Plugin search would be amazing; I have a feeling it’s probably not too far away from being a reality. I regularly use Logic, Pro Tools and Cubase, and definitely prefer Logic!
@@SamLoose Thank God for Plug Search in the meantime lol! When I discovered the plugin I thought I heard a group of angels singing and saw the clouds open up.... 😂
great
Got logic and Cubase. There a some things I’m really really missing in logic that Cubase does:
- search for sends tracks (logic you have to go through the lists, uff)
- select multiple mixer channels and tweak press a modifier key to SUSTAIN channel linkings temporarily (very handy)
- control faders with two finger on a MacBooks track pad
- bypass all of one (or more) channel‘s inserts or sends at once
Search for plugins and sends? YES, YES, YES, a thousand times YES! You can bypass more than one plugin by clicking and holding on the top plugins on/off button in the mixer and dragging down. If you have more than one channel selected it will do it for all of them at once!

Great vid! 🎉 Could I ask you where you got that shockmount you use in this video? I've been looking for one just like that one 🥳
I think it's a pretty inexpensive one. It came with the microphone, so I couldn't give you an exact manufacturer I'm afraid!
LOGIC PRO X SQUAD!
completely agree with the gain reduction meter and the eq thumbnail. I hope someday to load any compressor or eq and have that read it. til then, I just have them turned off
That’s the dream right there! It’s at the point where I don’t really notice the GR meter anymore. I use the Logic stock compressor for specific purposes out of pure habit, so I kind of expect it to be on those channels, and my eyes just let it blend in.
Logic Pro X is my favourite
I still love Logic - it was the reason why I moved to Mac all those years ago - but it's starting to feel dated. I started using Studio One recently and the mixer is so much easier to use and more powerful. Logic has some catching up to do in v11
I was a Pro Tools user for a long time before switching to Logic, and here are my main takeaways:
Logic is easier to use, more intuitive, more complete, more well-integrated. Making aux sends / busses is much easier. Organizing tracks is easier. The layout of everything is more practical. I greatly prefer it.
BUT. Logic is glitchy. I've had glitches appear which screw up my internal routing and take twenty minutes to fix. I've had glitches where audio from tracks just stops working and I have to duplicate the track to make it work again. I've had glitches with ARA where the audio from an instance of Melodyne comes out of the wrong track! These problems, when they happen, are so frustrating that it really makes me miss the stability of Pro Tools.
Wait.. how did you select every other track in the mixer view? @9:40. It’s not shift because that selects all of the tracks from first hi-lighted to the one you are on.. What’s the trick?
You can hold command and it will select whichever you click, without selecting all the others in between 🙂 Same works in Finder when selecting files.
@@SamLoose oh man! That’s been driving me crazy for a while now. Thank you.. seems like a simple thing but it’s not easy learning everything. Lol.
How do I import an old project in my new template
Hey Gerald. If you’re working from a template you’d need to import the tracks with their settings and then save the project as a new template, or over the top of the one you’re altering 🙂
Hi, I am a cubase user but cubase is expensive with every update, so I’m thinking of getting Logix Pro.
I read somewhere that it is not so stable anymore. Is this correct?
I’ve never found it to be unstable at all. I think it’s about the same as Cubase, which I’ve always found very stable.
Hello, good video. I love Logic too! One nitpick though - "X" in "Logic Pro X" is pronounced "Ten" (like a number 10), not "Eks".
It’s a great application. I think in the case of X or ten; to each their own. I think if it in the same way as I would Mac OSX, that would be an “X” instead of a “10”, but we’re all different 🙂 Thanks for watching!
@@SamLoose Mac OS was never "Eks". In all official videos about OS X (WWDC videos is a main go-to, and more general public keynotes) "X" is pronounced as "Ten", as well when they (Apple employees, executives) talk about it on stage or in press. Same with Logic Pro X and Final Cut Pro X. I think your content great, and it will be even more professional with using correct pronunciation.
As I said, that’s just the way I think of it 🙂
@@SamLoose Hahaha very well said, I guess mostly for artistic reasons right? LOL! I have no problem calling them both, it makes me feel flexible.
By the way, for me, I would say the user interface is pretty neat too.
I'm a recent watcher of your videos, I saw some of them and could help but subscribe. They're lovely! Cheers!!
4:04 ...or click on empty area and hit "z"
Absolutely! I’m a big fan of zooming to what’s selected, it seems to make sense to me, so I tend to do it this way. It makes more sense to me. Deselecting everything, as you say, will do the same job as selecting everything 🙂 Thanks for your input 👍 Have you any favorite features of Logic that I missed?
...you forgot the auto sampler..we can sample external or au synths..its amazing!!! haha, regards
Auto sampler is great! Such a time saver.
@@SamLoose so far no other daw can do that..and it works great..regards😀
@@djerikfox The Steinberg Halion sampler can sample an external synthesizer directly.
Correct me if I’m wrong but.. I’m pretty sure Logic ditched the “X” and is just called Logic Pro now. I could be mistaken but I swear I heard that a little while ago. I know it’s just semantics but hey, it’s good to keep these things straight. Lol.
I think you may be right :D
I love logic coz it doesn’t have the things I don’t need.
the zoom drives me crazy.
if it had “horizontal zoom to cursor with mouse scroll wheel” I could die happy.
And you CAN’T program it !!!!!!
