This is a great tutorial, as usual. I wanted to add a fun little feature I noticed with Drummer. You’ve probably already known this but others might not... if you create global arrangement tabs ie intro, verse, chorus sections and THEN create a drummer track, the drummer you chose will automatically create unique drum regions for each section. Each one named after the section with fills and transitions into the next section.
Man! Phat FX is such a powerful weapon!!! I don't understand why people love to hate stock plugins, but most of them are ranging from good to awesome, like Phat FX (:
Some folks are Just Plugin snobs, I love "Adaptive Limiter" ...I've compared it to other sonic maximizing plugins and 90% of the time it's sounds better and more transparent than other limiter plugins ... Point is Logic Pro X plugins are really good !
@@oompaloompa3188 Try Logic's "Adaptive Limiter" , If you know what you're doing you can get excellent results.. Now if you have a big budget and can afford Bob Ludwig or any top of the line Mastering Guru then by all means do that but trust me if you're doing everything in the "Box" then Logic is comparable or better than the majority of the plugins out there !
Trust all Logic needs to do is create access to ghost notes ( seeing the invisible notes that other instruments are playing) and then the people will choose it as the best DAW. It’s a simple fix they just got to do it
Just instead of having one drummer region for the whole take, he has two regions, so he can change the snare + drum pattern for the second half. Hope that's what you meant?
Wow, you can select multiple tracks and send them to a bus with one click, instead sending each track individually to the same bus, with so many clicks, i didn’t know that
You don’t need to gain stage unless you’re working with a mixing console, modern daws don’t care about a little clipping here and there, that’s my understanding.
Thanks The Q! I own a Gilbert Les Paul. Not Gibson, haha. It's a Korean knock off of Gibson's Les Paul. Pretty sure they were sued into the ground decades ago. I can't seem to find any info though! Otherwise, using Logic's Amp Designer.
In the library, you need to select the producer kits. So if you're using the Portland kit you scroll to the bottom of the list and click on the Producer Kits folder and there's another Portland kit in there which has multiple outputs.
Hey really like your tutorials, but got to say I can't hear any difference at all (Got to the 2:29min mark). Also your compression tutorial, although very interesting, again I couldn't hear any difference when you're turning the compressor on and off. Im listening through Adam T5 monitors. Im getting worried. Maybe Im deaf to compression and the like. Is it just me???
try to see the difference in the drums. without the effect it sounded weak and fake. when the effect is on it sounds alive and feels like recorded drums (at least to my ears). especially with the mix it is absolutely clear, you just need to listen carefully and pay attention to drums. with the effect you can hear how clear and more realistic it starts to sound. maybe listening to a real record first (paying attention to drums) and going back to these two examples might help.
@@cenkerdemir Thank you for the advice. I think you're right, concentrating on the drums does make a difference and I think I can hear what you describe. Nice to know there are some genuine and knowledgable people on youtube replying to comments, thanks Cenker Demir
I definitely recommend ear-training. Izotope PAE is free and pretty good for EQ etc, but there are also cheap paid options like Mix Mastery that go more in depth. Definitely a worthwhile investment in time if you want to train your ears (well, brain) to really hear and better understand these subtle differences.
There’s a knob on the bottom right corner of phat fx, called “mix”, it’s like the dry/wet knob on reverb plug-ins, perhaps that would be useful for your situation : )
Thanks amd3011! Select a Drummer region that you'd like to be in double time, and then open the Drummer Editor by hitting "E" on your Mac's keyboard. When you hover your mouse over the Kick & Snare slider in the Editor, two values pop up - 1/2 and 2x. "1/2" means half-time, and "2x" means double time" :)

@@oompaloompa3188 I've never used the stock Limiter... was only talking about the "Adaptive Limiter" !
This video probably saved my mix, can’t wait to try it out on my wimpy drum sound. I begging you to do a video on hard rock/metal guitars n bass.
Simply the best tutorials out there for logic..🇬🇧👍🏻outstanding
Awesome. Thanks for the tutorial on Phat FX!
Good stuff man 👏🏼
Great tutorial!

to be 100% honest I don't miss this feature from FL at all
I use Drummer + EZDrummer + Superior Drummer ... all together when recording and mixing metal.
Cool story bro
Awesome !!!
That’s not something I’ve used but now I will
Bedankt
Amazing as always.
In wich scenario would you use that trick rather than parallele compression?
Would you use Parallele comp on a Drummer track ?
How did you get the beat to change when the rhythm of the guitar changed? I know that's a whole different subject than this video covers.

Very helpful! But what if you wanted to do the opposite, and make the drums sound more distant and subtle in the mix?
Add reverb
Didn’t seem like you applied gain staging to this. Everything was clipping. Can you explain?
You don’t need to gain stage unless you’re working with a mixing console, modern daws don’t care about a little clipping here and there, that’s my understanding.
What kind of guitar did you use? Sounds amazing

You rule
How do I open the separate tracks for drummer?

I think it’s just you however the difference is very small

I find I can't use FatFX for less agressive music.. it's too harsh.

Great Video! How did you get that "double time" snare hit in the second drummer region?
Thanks amd3011! Select a Drummer region that you'd like to be in double time, and then open the Drummer Editor by hitting "E" on your Mac's keyboard. When you hover your mouse over the Kick & Snare slider in the Editor, two values pop up - 1/2 and 2x. "1/2" means half-time, and "2x" means double time" :)
Thanks! And you have a new subscriber :-)
Ditto!

But you're peaking?
78 different separate tracks makes this a difficult tutorial to observe
That's exactly what mixing consoles have looked like since the late 70s.
