Quantizing Vocals Cleanly Using Logic Pro’s Flex Time
Музыка
Doubling and tripling vocal tracks are an essential technique in music production. It makes choruses and certain parts of the song pop-out and feel beefy.
However, further vocal takes are sometimes not perfectly synced to the main vocal track. Some producers like that effect, while some don’t. It’s a matter of preference.
But if you want the layered vocals to perfectly sync without having to re-record the vocals, you can use Flex Time.
Flex Time is probably one of the coolest things in Logic. But if you don't use it correctly or do it right, you can get unwanted artifacts or little edit noises in your audio.
On this walkthrough, I show you how to cleanly stretch and edit vocal tracks using Flex Time: Specifically where to strategically place flex markers to avoid creating the glitchy, unpleasant artifacts in your mix.

Great walk-through with "best use" examples. Super helpful. Thanks. 9:29 MUH KNEE!!!
Man, I'm looking around and after watching about 10 videos, you are the only one who teachs about put markers between words. And it makes all sense. Thank you.
You're a really talented host, I love that you keep it moving, you're really funny and straight forward, totally the vibe I like. LnS keep doing this you'll go places with your vibe and style!
Wow thank you, other tutorials lacked this
Very solid tutorial, covers the what and the why, and multiple approaches to problems you’ll encounter in the journey
Great tip! I've always been afraid to use flextime on vocals but will try it!
Great and well-made tutorial. Cool and calm delivery and it seems like you're enjoying it. Subscribed mate, keep going!
This is great, thanks a lot for the help
This is a really helpful video, thanks for making this Nick!
Great video,exellent explanation. Thank you.
thanks. bang on! I thought I d leave those pops because they weren't much noticeable but I am going back to correct them now because I know I can.
I came here only to confirm what you mentioned at 2:34, that one shouldn't (or can't!) insert a marker on a piece of vocal to avoid an artifact-that it's better to use the empty spaces between the recordings. Ok, it makes sense, and now I'm working like that. But I'm wondering here... do we have the same problem with Pro Tools? Because if it doesn't, I will definitely be moving to PT. This kind of limitation in LGPX really annoys me.

I personally don't know of any in software functions where potions allows you to. I like protools but I didn't really like that a lot of stuff logic comes with I had to get a 3rd party plugin for
Can you quantitize vocals on GarageBand?????
Great!!!and I got one question,After I quantized lead track by flex time, can I use VocAlign to adjust my double n triple? Or the best way is manual adjustment like ur video?thx

You definitely could use vocal align once you have your main track quantized! Vocal align is great.
