  • I can't tell you how much of my life I would have back if I knew about Q-Flam... Thank you for this Chris!
  • @joetunon
    SmartQuantize is the best feature for piano players. It sounds very natural, and what a time saver!
  • Seriously insane how much hidden potential is found in Logic! I'm so glad your channel exists, you make my life so much easier!
  • @Zoddex
    Man - I only hit q and had it. I learn so much from your vids! THANKS
  • @bluesirensmusic
    Been trying to find something like Q-Velocity for awhile. Thanks for the tip!
  • @ToXball
    Using Logic from more than 20 years I found that there are no limits to the hidden power offered by this great piece of software. The quantize possibilities are just awesome. I've used also other daws and I can assure that there are no reason to go around, Logic have infinite power in many fields, from midi, to audio to mixing...and the workflow design remain the best out there in perfect Apple concept. Long life to Logic Pro Thanks for your precious channel :)
  • @Black1ce8
    This is amazing. This will make playing my real drums and recording guitar and piano and bass over it without getting angry at my drums ability!!!!!
  • Thank you I never understood all that stuff in the inspector you’re a good teacher.
  • Thanks for this next level dive. I realize I been barely scratching the surface up to now.
  • @zachkester3
    Yet again, the logic team has options for things I've been doing MANUALLY for years. Thank you for enlightening me!
  • @purplepeople950
    Thanks man! Great breakdown - Groove template is the one!!!
  • @bonusroundsteve
    As a pianist for pop music, smart quantizing is the greatest find in history. I didn't know about it until this video. Thank you. But it messes up the sustain pedals positions. I had lots of weird places where the notes lingered too long or cut off too soon. I solved the problem by going into score mode and moving them around. Much easier to eyeball them there. Once I fixed those, the part sounds FANTASTIC. All my natural playing got right into alignment with my drum track.
  • @tobistone3188
    Wow... Until now I touched EVERY midi note of my virtual drums and bases to align them properly but don't suck too much of the life out of it. Q-Flam and Q-Range will save me yeeeeears :D Chris, you're the man!
  • Man you absolutely nailed this. Ive always used real instruments and struggled with programming and quantizing midi. Have had to start using a keyboard for a drum kit and Im stoked to move forward with some confidence.
  • That was awesome. Ive used Logic for at least 15years and never took the time to deep with these extra quantize features. I’m always hand drawing my piano rolls and such. What a time saver! Much appreciated
  • The Groove Template function is something I now can use more effectively and ensure my bass and drums (even MIDI performances) are in lock step with each other and sound less mechanical. Thanx, Chris!! 💯
  • This is one of your best Chris. Thanks, I’ll be using this info tonight!
  • @ferfrant4425
    So valuable info here. Thank you Chris. Over five years using Logic and I didn't know these advanced functions. Awesome video! but over all, so helpful.
  • @amanat7861
    One of most informative and valuable Content regarding LOGIC PRO X on youtube Thankyou :)
  • @FLH3official
    Excellent video, as usual. And thank you about Q-Flam, maybe I'm not enough curious but I've never tried this feature and now I certainly shall on my next projects.
