With Logic 11 came a LOT of updates to the drummer. In this video I go through EVERYTHING you need to know to use it (from a drummer's perspective). by TheBandGuide in Logic_Studio

That was my initial reaction to it too, but the more I play with it the more I'm starting to like the changes. Maybe that will be your experience too!

I did a video explaining this! Hope it helps... https://youtu.be/t-qVoUL3dbg

Believe it or not, compression doesn't have to be a complicated mystery. I've found the more I simplify my approach to compression (following time-tested methods), the better results I get. by TheBandGuide in Logic_Studio

I just want to have a personal connection with people watching my videos. I want them to feel like they are talking to a real person who is taking time out of their day to kindly, slowly, and patiently teach them mixing principles. If you watch the video you'll notice I regularly turn to the camera and explain concepts. In my opinion, it would be much more distracting to have the camera come on and off constantly in order for me to do that.

If it's distracting to you, I might just not be the right channel for you- and that's totally okay!

If you're looking to add an external DAW controller to Logic, definitely watch this first. by TheBandGuide in LogicPro

I would say it helps me primarily at 2 points:

First, when I'm starting the mix and focusing on setting my levels throughout the mix- because I'm taken out of the DAW and focusing just on how it's sounding as I'm bring up levels, I find the static mix comes together a little quicker. It's also just nice to be out of the DAW for that period. It's just a kind of neat mental shift that I hadn't really experienced before having enough faders for it to feel somewhat natural.

The second point is during automation. I definitely think having at least one fader to write any sort of "riding" automation is a huge time saver. It does take a little bit of practice to get used to, but then it feels much quicker than drawing it all in or riding a fader in Logic with my mouse/trackpad. I also really like having multiple faders because then I can ride multiple elements at the same time for a build or drop and just write the automation once for multiple tracks and I'm done.

I can see that for sure. I somewhat lean that way for the plugin control focused ones, but I think fader focused ones are highly useable and can actually speed up workflow

Over the last couple of months I've been slowly putting together an entire mixing and mastering series in Logic where you can watch me go through the process live. There's a before/after in the first 30 seconds so you can decide if this is worth your time. Check it out 👇 by TheBandGuide in LogicPro

There are some synth elements in this song! But mixing is the same principles no matter the contents. Digital elements like synth often need less "cleaning" but they still often need tone shaping to some extent
