🙋🏼♂️Hi Everyone, I have a free download for you to learn Logic Pro faster, hope it helps: www.charlescleyn.com/learn-logic
Hi, Andrew here, thank you for your seamless content. However, I need help with Logic Pro sound library download. When I download the basic or any of the additional sound libraries, it says failed in the end, I also get a notification that I check my internet yet I have a very stable internet connection. When I try to access the sound library from the logic window, there's a lot not downloaded and when I try also to download one by one, it will still not work. What can I do to solve that problem? Thank you.
Charles, I just want to thank you for the 100 Logic tips. How can I send you some money for your work? Jesse
Your coverage has been more helpful than ANY of the Logic Pro X posts I've watched. NOW...if only I could learn how to transfer MIDI sequences from my old Yamaha QX-5 and incorporate my tone generator (Yamaha TG-33) into Logic... If you have any ideas or can recommend another source, it would be a blessing.
@@andrewm.k3896 I had that but then when I upgraded the Logic Pro it worked, and I had only just bought it, so try upgrading there is likely a newer version out there :)
You don’t understand how much you’re helping indie artists be truly independent! Thank You for living in your purpose! 💯🙏🏾
Thanks a lot Philip. I appreciate the kind words.
Speaking of which, where do you sell music?
Couldn't have said it better, this is amazing!
this is a gold mine. Thank you. There is no need to watch any other logic tutorials. PRICELESS🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really appreciate that!
You worked very hard to make this 3.4 hours video, thank you very much for helping us.
I kinda feel guilty for watching it for free, this is a lot of work and knowledge.
Thank you.
You're very welcome :)
This is one of the best tutorials on logic pro x I've seen anywhere! You've done an extraordinary job defining & breaking down these tips. I use your videos as my "bible" to approach all things logic pro x. Thanks so much!
Thanks a lot Bill, I really appreciate that.
Yes Charles, see how many people you make really happy with this for most of us intelligent lesson. Save this in a playlist is recommended. I need days to suck it all up
This is so very useful! Not all heroes wear cloaks, some wear fancy headphones and give out brilliant information for free. Thank you so much for creating this video.
aw thanks for the kind words.
This is the best help video ever of essentials for Logic Pro. Thank you so much for putting in the effort. With the time stamps, it’s a Godsend
Another massive ,milestone achievement by the Emergence team. Listening to these presets planted me right in composing mode..so thanks 🙏🏿🙏🏅✨🎩🎵🦄
Gratitude from the bottom of my heart, and hopefully thousands of other hearts. Because, it is a Guru lesson.
Best walk-through of Logic Pro X I have seen. Thanks for taking the time to record this training.
So very useful and helpful! Thank you so much!! :)
Thank you SO much, Charles. The clearest most comprehensive Logic tutorials I've seen.
Thanks a lot John, I appreciate your kind words
This was so valuable and helpful, I learned a lot of things I never knew even after using Logic for a few years. Appreciate this, thank you!
I couldn't say how much I love this tutorial!!! Great work & keep it up. A thousand thanks!!!
You’re very welcome Maxwell.
This is pure mastery of explaining Logic Pro! Hats off to you Charles and a great many thanks for your wonderful easy explanations! Top of the bill!!!
well done it has taken me some time to get through it all but now the really hard work to try and use these!!
Very great tutorial! I learned so much that will help me speed up my work flow and new tricks. I knew a few of these i learned by experients
insanely good video! Thanks!
Brilliant stuff Charles, learnt a whole load of things here. Have saved this so will be coming back to it regularly. Thankyou :)
sorry for replying late, I really appreciate that, the save is huge!
This is Fantastic. Thank you for taking the time to lay these out, Very Helpful.
You're very welcome and sorry about my late response!
40:20 for those of you who are still yet to watch this and don't know much music theory, when Charles refers to 1/4 notes, he mistakenly hovers over it 1/16s. Each beat is a 1/4 note, meaning 23 1, 23 2, 23 3 and 23 4 all mark the 1/4 notes, and the small grid lines in between depict the smaller increments.
Thank you so much for your hard work brother. This helps me a lot.
Dude this is EPIC! Literally thank you so so much for taking all this time. Its helping me heaps ❤️
This is incredible. Thank you!!!!
this is so awesome such a big help for getting started👌🏻👌🏻
Epic video- watched and enjoyed it as if it was a feature length Hollywood blockbuster! A deep thank you from all us production nerds for your hard work 🙏🏾
You're welcome John. Thanks a lot.
This video is seriously helpful. its straight to the point and i don't have to search through hours of tutorials on youtube. It's all right here. every tip after another is exactly what i need. Thanks!
sorry for replying late, I really appreciate that.
This the best video set up I've ever seen. AND there's a free download?! 'Preciate the effort sir!
The logic compressor/s are brilliant!
In fact most of the logic dynamics stuff are excellent.
another great logic tutorial, good work fellow Canuck!
Coming back to this again. Probably the best reference/tutorial for simple but productive quality of life improvements you can add into you Logic workflow. A bit of a word salad there, but its just a great reference. Thanks Charles.
thank you for making this sir!
Amazing video!! Thanks so much for sharing the knowledge. 🙏 Keep up the great work!! 🙌
Happy to do so Willy. I'm glad you liked it, hope it helps on your music journey :)
What an AMAZING video! I'm a bit overwhelmed with the information, but incredibly excited to take it in, as I know I'll be referencing this often. Thanks for so much for the time you took making and editing this, along with sharing your knowledge :) Much gratitude!
I know what you mean, it's a lot! Come back to it whenever you need, and of course, always ask a question.

Absolutely brilliant - thanks Charles. I learnt so much from watching this and will go back through it again and learn even more. You touched upon mastering at the end and, if you haven't already, I'd love to hear your thoughts on that in another video if you were considering doing that. Subscribed.
Hi Brendan, I’m about to publish a new video on How To Master in a few days, be sure to come back and check it out.
@@CharlesCleyn Brilliant! Thanks for letting me know.
Brilliant video, thank you 👍
Hey Charles. Been watching your videos for a while now they have helped me a lot in my logic pro journey. You should do an in depth video on your Mastering techniques and good habits to get into when mastering a track. I know its not just me who would benefit from it.
love all ur music keep up the great work !
thanks a lot for the kind words Big Hello :)
Thanks for this awesome bit of work!
What a perfectly good teacher that you are thank you for this comprehensive video invaluable Bravo and thank you once again
Awesome! I watch tutorials on my phone.. most tutorials I watch, I can’t see because they are recorded on a 50” monitor or something.
Thank you! This is exactly what I need as far as essential tools to create. Just found your channel. Great teaching style. Anyway I’ll be watching lots of these
Thanks Marty, I appreciate that :) See you on the channel!
Absolutely stunning presentation - thank you so much!!
Thanks Rocky!
Great vid! Do you have a video on some of your favorite automations (volume drops/fades, filter sweeps, tape stops, vocal fx, etc)?? If not, that’d be an awesome one for the future
Terrific video!! what a difference this has made for me!! Thank you 🙏 so much for taking the time to make this video and providing time markers. You explained it with clarity. most useful video !!!

My pleasure, thanks for watching
Forever grateful for these vids bro. Can’t thank you enough!! You are so good at teaching things in a way people can understand 🙌🏽
I really appreciate the kind words :)
Wow ! Thank you so much for this excellent video. I love how you number all your tips and tricks and explain, with examples how to apply them. I will go back and review it again and write the tios and tricks down with the number system. Cheers!
That's really great to hear Alain, thanks a lot for watching.
Most useful video on Logic Pro that I've seen in ages. I've taken notes, and bookmarked it for reference. Thank you!
Thanks a lot Mark :)
Appreciate you Charles. Thank you 🙏
Have a safe and productive day!
Thanks a lot :) You too man.
this is amazing. i've saved and rewatched this video for multiple reasons. great video thank you. god bless
Wonderful to hear!
This is probably the most helpful video for Logic I have ever watched, thank you so much!
thanks JJ, I super appreciate that. Also, sorry for the delay in my response
Bro, this is a masterpiece.
I keep coming back to this video
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
Thanks alot Charles, this video is so full of game changers ! I have watched alot of logic pro videos but this one is the best of all. no comparison possible. great job !
Thanks a lot Francois, I really appreciate that.
Great stuff! Your hard work is appreciated.
Thanks Cyborg!
Thank you so much man, this was really really helpful! 🙌🏽
sorry for replying late, I really appreciate that.
I’ve been using Logic for years and I had no idea about that sustained midi note tip.. there’s so many little things in here that are just making me see logic differently. I’ve been debating going over to Ableton as it’s more of a modern producers toolkit but I’m now debating staying as these tips are unlocking more real estate I didn’t know about in logic 👍🏻 great video!
This is so freaking amazing! Thank you for this video. It is a life saver!
my pleasure, glad it was helpful to you.
Thank you SOOOOO much for taking your time to help everyone out!
You’re very welcome :)
i'll never forget this. thanks for being part of this process.
Happy to help Dylan!
Thanks for the video mate! Helpful!
you are very welcome :)
Great Job. Such a comprehensive and helpful tutorial.
Thanks very much :)
Thank You, and bravo for a very well- structured presentation. Really must have been a lot of prep to get there. Much Appreciated. I started years ago in the Analog realm, then in Pro Tools, and no matter what I know, there's 100 features I intend to get to one day. Since a DAW in utterly non- dimensional, it's so hard to get 1/4 of the features in WORKING MEMORY. Even if they were once used daily when pushing sliders, twisting knobs, and recording with our EARS. Your choice of material here was great, as I can see it's useful to beginners and veterans, and that's really good judgement on your part. Well done! Being a wearer of every hat by necessity, I really appreciate work like this.
Thanks for the kind words Alex :)
Absolutely perfect, such an effort - Hats off 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot :)
Bro, thank you so much. These videos are showing me so much.
sorry for replying late, I really appreciate that.
amazingly thorough and helpful! Thank you
Thanks Colin, I appreciate that!

You are a life saver, and also a life changer. Thanks for your time. Well spent brother
You’re very welcome!
Just the title itself, got me sub right away so I can watch it later. Thanks for doing it. 🙏🏼
Thanks Dulistan, that's very cool to hear!
Hey Bro! You are awesome! What a valuable tutorial you delivered here is a real full fledged detailed one. Really for professionals how like get deeply into Logic. For me a guy coming from Ableton / Reason it is just fantastic. I have it running almost every day to particulary understand everything step by step. 100 Stars of 100!! Big Big Thank you!!!
You’re very welcome Tim. All the best.
Minor point of information: The design purpose of SMPTE lock isn't to protect from accidents-tho that's perfectly valid; I use it for that, too. SMPTE is Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, the standards body for film & video. SMPTE lock refers to SMPTE time code, used to synchronize audio and video. So SMPTE lock is intended to lock some audio cue to a specific time code to sync to the video. (It also gets used more broadly to synchronize things, like say, a fireworks display). So if you find yourself working with video, with a cue sheet, you know what to do! Anyway, impressive video; I've been using Logic for a decade, and I'm learning various things I hadn't noticed. Not just that, but actually useful ones.
Thank you! Question about #38: would this tool allow a speed down from a much higher speed to the normal project speed? or would that require a tempo automation track for that effect?also does the tool work on a master stereo mix or a group bus?
I remember watching this video when I just started logic for the first time and thought it was a little over whelming butttt after coming back wit just a tad bit of experience this changed my world now that I really understand how much time these things save. You’re a live save bless you for makin the video 🙏🏽🚀💯
So cool for me to hear that, thank you!
Thank you so much, everything was explained easily, i enjoyed watching the whole video!
thanks Nasa!
Thank you so much! Watched all in one take ☺...a few skips for things I knew, but suuuuuper useful.
