Hey legends! If you think I missed anything important or think the template could be improved in anyway, drop a comment and let me know! Hope you found this helpful!

This is so satisfying, it soothes my OCD.

NIIIIICE! I have bought in the past some templates when I was just starting out and used it to figure out how Logic works. Funny seeing how the current way I do things is super similar to you but you added a lot more details like the groups and things like that. Def going to modify my current setup using this. Thanks Rhys!

Nice system you got there! You should do a vid on file import sessions when your sent tracks to mix.

Amazing! Thank you so much!

Great video man! And yes, as someone who's done heaaaaps of guitars for not only my own projects but stuff for hire, those tracks will be eaten up quickly. I always do 20-30+ guitar tracks per song but they usually aren't all going at the same time lol

NIIIICE! I used to download templates back when I just wanted to understand how Logic worked. Funny seeing how similar your workflow is to mine. But you def add a lot of things like the groups and having the sends in the track stack. On my way to modify my current template! Great video Rhys!

Thanks man this is super helpful for organizing sessions. I would love to see how you organize samples, files, hard drives, overall file structure for optimal performance with logic as well. I've learned a lot from your channel that has improved my mixing and overall workflow. Much appreciation! Cheers!

Hi! Thanks for sharing ! By any chance a part 2 for the go to plugins ?

@spinlightstudios

That could be fun, although I’m kind of against pre-establishing plugins for mixing 😂 I tend to change things up quite a bit depending on project to project. Although there probably are a handful of keepers that make most mixes!

Fun video! Couple of questions and a comment on MIDI drums: 1) For your stems export, where you want to keep all of your FX with the tracks affected, why do you keep a few FX (e.g. Drum Verb, Gtr Verb, etc) outside of the drum stack, gtr stack, etc? Won’t doing so cause them not to be printed with their stem? 2) What’s the purpose of creating a MIDI region on your stacks prior to exporting? 3) For my MIDI drums, on a blank session, I’ve gone through every one of my drum libraries, set up the multi-out routing needed for each library, with FX sends, parallel processing, etc. then saved each one as a User Patch. In my template, I have one MIDI Drum instrument placeholder track where I can then simply load the patch for the drum library I want to use. Works great.

1) yes if you used those external sends you would have to solo those specific tracks track and export them Individually. Otherwise you could go another layer deep in the track stack. With the drum bus and reverb inside. Relatively simple to change. Perhaps I will update them to have them like this! Just aware the level of bussing gets pretty deep 😂 2) I think I got confused between when I do export regions as audio files vs export all tracks as audio file. When doing export as a region - then putting a blank midi region on a bus allows you to render it as an audio file. The video took a while to make so I think I was a bit spaced when I got to that haha 3) that is right, so much better to set your drums up like that but very individualized to each library!

Hey man, great video! What specs does your iMac do you have to handle all these tracks?! thanks!

@spinlightstudios

2 ай бұрын

I’m running a 2019 intel iMac with some decent specs - however most of the time you won’t use all of these tracks! So you would remove any of the channels that aren’t necessary to your project :) there aren’t any plugins loaded besides the midi so it shouldn’t cause any issues. It’s once you start mixing and adding loads of plugins a session with a high track count that your cpu might start to get chewed up. Also depends what plugins you’re using as to how fast that happens. I’ll post my specs when I’m back at the computer!

Bought this thank you! Do we add plugins e.g for E.Q on the snare on the snare bus or on the individual track the audio is on?

@spinlightstudios

You can do both ultimately! The snare bus is great if you want to EQ all of the snare channels together - snare top + bottom + any samples you may add.

Thanks, I don’t know who Leon Todd is sorry, it’s just something I decided to do 🤷‍♂️ it’s just a fun greeting!

Great video! Just one question: is there a reason why you created bus channels for stacks like Snare, Kick, overheads, etc, when you could've done track stacks for those too?

@spinlightstudios

Ай бұрын

Thanks, yes I could have done that! But was just aware for the template on my store if users were still on older versions of logic it might create issues - plus I kinda don’t like the way it looks sometimes with the track stack inside a track stack. When it’s collapsed I don’t like the folder image, I like being able to see the wave forms.

@cbrooks0905

@@spinlightstudios cool! All valid reasons. Just curious…

Why do you route parallel stuff post fader? Pre fader could be better, because then they get al always the same level? That might be useful for same compression.

@spinlightstudios

2 ай бұрын

There’s no right or wrong here, just preference. But I’m merely establishing the sends/routing and any user can then change between pre or post. Routing your drums post means you can set it to unity and automatically have the same levels as your drum mix, meaning you don’t have to balance things out again, you can then add more or less of a signal. Never been an issue for me to use post fader with drums. If you’re getting your gain structure right it’s not an issue.

This is gold, man. Probably a silly question, but ow are you selecting separate sections like that when you’re clicking on stuff?

Thanks Rhys, awesome stuff. Have purchased the template just to make sure I don't miss anything (and coz I'm lazy) - a suggestion for users, instead of deleting what you feel you don't need, maybe use the hide (H) feature and that way you can bring stuff in if you need it. Great work mate!
