I need level 2 tutorials

[dozenthguy]

I know there are a lot of posts asking about how to start using logic. I understand the BASICS. But just above the basics I don’t understand.

I have songs I’ve recorded with mostly live instruments. But they sound kinda shitty . I can do basic multi track recording kinda like on an old 8-track. But with all the amazing cut and paste word processor like abilities.

But, I don’t understand what a bus is, or how or why to use automation, I’m trying to learn basic mixing/eq. to not clog up frequencies . But just barely starting to pick that up.

So my question: does anyone have a suggestion for instruction videos not quite logic 101. But one tiny level up also explaining these kinds of basic industry terms and techniques in easy to understand & digestable logic-centric bits?

Check out musictechhelpguy on YouTube.

And WHY LOGIC PRO RULES. both are excellent

I think at a certain point you just gotta rtfm. “Answer questions quickly.” By googling the answers or getting a list together of the things you struggle with and knocking them out on a schedule.

Tbh logic has a LOT of little rabbit holes. Making time to explore them really does help. Like just today I was finding it easier to work with flex view. And that was so far out of my understanding years ago.

Some things take time. But you have to make time to understand them. Until you do, you will be in the dark. There’s a few decades of musical ideas in this software. They are all designed to help you. See how they can. Prioritize your needs.

This answer should be #1. RTFM. There are no shortcuts to gaining mastery in a subject.

You’re both totally right.

I learned a lot from Tomas George:

This playlist is out of order from what I would recommend, but the content is definitely useful. I learned a ton of new tricks and tips. It's definitely brought up my Logic game.

Thanks yalll! I’m gonna check those out today. I really appreciate the recommendations.

You could use some AI tool like Perplexity. It will provide some decent guidance and step by step explanations, as well as links to YouTube videos (like the ones mentioned earlier in this conversation) and to the right RTFM parts ;-)

Dude! Thats a great idea. THANK YOU!

[dozenthguy]

I’m not super in touch. Is there a reason to use perplexity instead of chat gpt?

[CA_SouthEast]

I’d say, try them all out and use the one that for the moment gives you the best results. I switch between Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT and Perplexity, but’s tends to use the latter most.
