Logic Pro X - Video Tutorial 01A - How to Turn on Advanced Tools (ADDENDUM) Video Lecture | Logic Pro X: A Practical Hands-on Course - Music

member
hello this is music tech help guy and
welcome to episode 1 a of my Logic Pro
10 video tutorial series this video is
actually a special addendum video to
explain a bit of a problem that has
happened to several users especially
those who just downloaded logic 10 and
are brand new to it or didn't upgrade
from logic 9 like I did and actually
there isn't an upgrade from from logic
night I just happen to have not
installed while installing 10 and it
moved a lot of the files and a lot of
the Preferences over in the process the
problem is that logic 10 in some cases
doesn't already come with the advanced
tools turned on this isn't something you
have to buy extra it's not something if
it download extra it's just something
that you have to turn on in order to
make sure you can get those editing
tools a really common problem I was
hearing a lot of questions I was having
where hey Josh I'm you know I'm doing
exactly what you're doing
I'm clicking at the exact same buttons
you're doing but when I get to this
point I don't see the window that you're
seeing or I don't see the editing
function that you're seeing and the
problem the the solution in 99% of those
problems is you just need to turn on the
advanced tools and I simply forgot to go
over this in episode 1 I should have I
should have mentioned it in episode 1 so
the way you turn on your advanced tools
in logic is you go up to Logic Pro 10
preferences and then from here go down
to advanced tools so Logic Pro
preferences advanced tools the good news
about this is that when you turn them on
once they'll always stay on because the
the Preferences are global they're not a
session by session thing so that you
just turn them on once and they should
stay that way for all videos in this
series you're going to want to make sure
all these checkboxes are turned on
basically what these do is they allow
you to turn off certain certain features
that maybe you don't use you know maybe
you're not using any control surfaces or
maybe you're not mixing and surround at
all
so you can turn those off and those
options will be taken away and so your
menus
won't have as many options in there
won't be as many options say in the
channel strip force around if you're not
using that I just like to keep them all
all on I don't do much mixing and
surround but I like to keep everything
on just in case and one of the big ones
is the advanced editing was turned off
for a lot of people and they weren't
able to actually advance editing and
audio we're both turned off for a lot of
people and so they weren't be able to
follow along and some of the future
episodes the problem with this advanced
tools preferences if they're all turned
off like this if you've got show
advanced tools turned off you've
basically turned logic into a glorified
version of GarageBand and that's not
that that's not such a bad thing because
you know considering that GarageBand was
built from logics original architecture
but you know you just want to make sure
you turn those on and a lot of people
you know they download logic for the
first time they're like what is this you
know this is GarageBand this isn't you
know this isn't logic this isn't a pro
app you just have to turn on your
advanced tools and so for all videos in
this series make sure all of these are
turned on when these are off you'll find
that a lot of the the menus don't have
as many of many functions as they
normally would have and you don't have
access to certain editors down here like
we'd normally have like the like the
file editor the hyper editor the midi
environment so there's a lot of there's
a lot of things left out if you don't
turn that on so again just logic
preferences advanced tools make sure
that all of these are turned on now I'm
putting this video in between episodes 1
& 2 but currently I'm actually working
on episode 31 so this is one of the few
videos that I'm kind of just doing out
of order and then putting in there as
kind of like a fix instead of having to
redo one of my videos so if you're
currently cat if you're catching this
video right after you've watched episode
1 you'll be fine throughout the rest of
the series as long as you turn on those
advanced tools if you've made it all the
way to a video you know episode 30
already with no problems I'm assuming
you've probably figured this out by now
but it's something worth checking just
to double check to make sure that you've
got all those turn
so I hope you enjoy the video series and
thanks for watching
