NOTES ON “Logic Pro 11 Complete Tutorial: SECTION 2” [NOTE: Starting in this section, I’ll give timestamps for each major part of the lessons.) Lesson 1 - Intermediate Audio Editing Time Stretching and Pitch Shifting (0:00) 1. Transpose key/pitch (Inspector -> Region -> Transpose) - Fine Tune (just below Transpose) to make small adjustment 2. Change tempo: - Option “click & drag bottom corner of track” to speed up (shorten) or slow down (lengthen). - Right click region in track -> Tempo -> Apply Project Tempo to Region and Downbeat Flex Time (6:08) 1. Only useable with audio tracks, not MIDI (to do it with MIDI, you must Bounce the MIDI first to make it an audio track). 2. AWESOME TOOL!!! Would have saved me dozens of hours, had I known about this a few months ago! Flex Pitch (25:59) 1. Also great, even though I don’t think I fully understand this one. Will need to review another time. 2. Not perfect, as can sometimes confuse 2 notes as one, so will have to divide them with the scissors tool. 3. Editor window is good to use. 4. Can “quantize” with Flex Pitch as well to bring everything closer to perfect pitch to a set amount. 5. Can change drift pitch and vibrato. 6. Above the tracks -> Edit -> Analyze Audio for Flex Editing. 7. Flex Pitch can also be turned on in the Inspector window for the track. Audio Quantization Techniques (36:33) 1. Inspector -> Quantize -> Make Groove Template 2. Quantize other tracks to the newly created groove template 3. Can be applied to vocals too! Lesson 2 - Intermediate MIDI Editing 1. MIDI Controller Assignments (0:00) - (With a plugin open and the selected window, go to) Logic Pro menu -> Control Surfaces -> Learn Assignment for “YOUR SELECTED PLUGIN” (OR: Command L) 1. Arpeggiator plugin (3:38) 2. Chord Trigger plugin (28:20) 3. Modifier plugin (37:25) - Rather wonderful tool if you have the audio interface that it can take advantage of it, so you can customize the knobs on your interface.

NOTES ON “Logic Pro 11 Complete Tutorial: SECTION 3” Lesson 1 - Advanced Tools 1. Smart Tempo (0:00) - Automatically analyzes and adjusts the tempo of the project to match the timing of recorded audio, MIDI or imported tracks. 2.

VCA & AUX Tracks (23:35) - VCA = Voltage Controlled Amplifier 5. Score Editor (30:15) 6. Surround Sound Mixing [Dolby Atmos] (33:40) - Very interesting! 7. Flex Grid & Snap Modes (38:10) - Especially helpful when working on audio for film, which normally will have you working in frame rate instead of BPM. 8. Project Alternatives (48:20) - File -> Project Alternative 9. External Instrument Plugin (50:53) Lesson 2 - Workflow Techniques 1. Key Commands & Customization (0:00) - R = record - K = metronome - S = solo track - M = mute track - Y = library - I = inspector - A = automation lanes - G = global tracks - O = loops browser - Spacebar = play/stop - Command S = save project - Command Z = undo - Shift Command Z = redo - Option Command Z = undo history window - Option K = key command window - Option P = project settings - Command , = general settings [NOTE: that is Command “COMMA”] - P = piano roll - C = cycle - E = editor - Return = set playhead to beginning of project - , = jump back/rewind [NOTE: that is a COMMA] - . = jump forward [NOTE: that is a PERIOD] 2. Turn on MIDI Chase: Option P -> MIDI -> Chase -> check “Notes” [the first box at the top] 3. Auto colorize takes (6:00): Option P -> Recording -> check “Automatically colorize takes” 4. Customize background (9:06): Command , -> View [NOTE: can also enable auto assign track colors here.] 5.

Eating an apple before mixing and mastering will improve the quality of the audio.

Nice!
