    This feeling when you spend half an hour browsing for tutorials to get to learn how to record vocals on Logic, and all what you end up with is being frustrated, you have many questions unanswered, and you don’t get the vocals recorded. Then you come to Charle’s channel, and suddenly you can relax. I love the way you’re explaining all of these things, everything sounds and becomes so easy. Thank you!

      Could you do a video on how to precisely do seamless loops? I’ve been having a really difficult time getting a good loop on Logic Pro X and need help. Further more I’ve been having a hard time fighting out tempo and how to get the drums to match my guitar loop.

      Hi Peter, can you do a tutorial how to change back the “adapt tempo” into “keep tempo”? At present i make a music using “adapt tempo” about 85 and during hearing back the music is not consistent. So I try to change it into “keep tempo at 90” but unsuccessful. Logic keeps prompts not able.

    Charles came on to your channel by browsing and I am glad to be here. Have been recording with Logic X for some time but not at all in past 6-8 months for various reasons. Also now have a new Clarett +8 and new Mac Studio and was getting confused in basic set up in Logic. Of course this was compounded by not really fully knowing my new interface control software that well. Anyway, thanks for the straight forward refresher. You got me situated with the monitoring set up in particular. I will be checking out your channel. Best

  • @BreatheWithSandy
    @BreatheWithSandy 2 роки тому

    thank you! So you said don´t worry about the stereo out being too high. But then once we record the vocals around -.6db but the stereo is around -.2db before mastering. what do you recommend?

    • @CharlesCleyn
      @CharlesCleyn  2 роки тому

      you can always bring everything down before mastering so you sit at about -6 before you start compressing or limiting... but like you say just make sure you're not clipping on the recording.

    Thank you so much Charles. You are user friendly for all of us that haven't studies recording engineering and would like to learn. I almost had a my head explode listening to another teacher of Logic Pro X because he seemed to be more into bragging about all the bangles and beads instead of actually showing, hands on, how to get things recorded. When you explain it, it is so much more clear for us civilians, and singers, and instrumentalists that are trying to learn how to use a DAW during a pandemic. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

    It would definitely be great to see some more about how to edit vocals after recording. Even with gain set at a good level there will always be parts that need tweaking. I'd love to learn the basics of what to look for and what it sounds like, so far every time Ive been like "well I don't know what that is" like 10 second after in the video you explain it with multiple analogies and its so helpful. Seriously, thank you, Im sure the more I practice and follow along with your videos Im gonna get the hang of this stuff.

    I've been watching your videos, . My only user end suggestion is that in #1 and #2 is that I did not get to see where you were clicking, it went by a little quick. For us beginners/intermediate's ( I had a pro over here and I watched and learned) is that there are a lot of buttons and options to click. Way to many. They seem camouflaged to the inexperienced. You might remember them after the first few tries, but finding them in the first place is tough, at least for me.

I'm hoping this could be a solution for on the go, maybe in the studio. I need a way to maybe bounce stems in and out easily. and if logic has some straight forward basic GOOD plugins maybe i could mix with it.

    Thank you so much for your videos, they have been sooooo helpful. I set up today in a non treated room. I bought some in ear monitors so that I can record visually without cans on. I’m plugging in ears into apogee one.My in ears are way more sensitive than my closed headphones(I’m hearing much more room noise from my apogee built in mic with in ears?)I found it hard to get my backing track on logic to play at a reasonable level.
    Do you have any thoughts? I know I need to spend more time understanding the gain on the apogee. It surprised me that different ear monitors would need different gain setting? Also backing track bass sounded painfully loud on in ear monitors at the level I needed it.
    Any thoughts welcome!!! 🙏

    Hey Charles! I literally just got the interface - Scarlett focusrite 2i2 - 3rd gen interface with the Rode nt1-a. I’m having a problem though which is incredibly frustrating. I’m getting literally a ‘Wind Noise’ with a mix of noises that sound like thunder and static robotic noises also with the interface and I can’t seem to fix it at all or figure it out. Have you any idea what this problem could be? The Rode mic is working with it but not as it should because I’m getting those awful noises with my interface and it’s passing the problem onto the mic too because of it. It’s literally so frustrating not being able to figure or fix it. Now I do have an older MacBook- I have a mid 2012 one with MacOS Catalina with update 10.15.7 and I’m just wondering would the system or update I have be causing this noise or can I rule that out? I’m really struggling to figure this out so anything you know that may be the problem would be very helpful! Thank you! Ps, great video 👍
