“She’s Not That Good” – Producing Video, Mixing Audio in Logic Pro (#Music #Production #Audio #Excerpt)

I just had to do another video for “She’s Not That Good” on YouTube. Maybe because I was scrolling through my videos and saw this one of the Mariachi Band playing Jazz in the Piazza on the Crown Princess sailing the Mexican Riviera.

But this time I used the video editor in Logic Pro, meaning, I pasted the video I already had into Logic Pro on 1 track, which separated the video and sound into 2 tracks, and then ecorded my audio recording of a book excerpt on another. This way, I could match the video with the sound. It was so much fun!

 

And now here’s the result:

GarageBand 10.4.4 Update is Here, Too!

My blog is blowing up with all of these updates. And your head probably isn’t the only one spinning.

GarageBand for the Mac OS has also released an update, incorporating some of the fab features from the iOS version. I often use the iOS version to start a project, and then finish it in LogicPro. And now I can use the new features also on the desktop version. You never know when I may prefer to use it.

Check out the update from the GarageBandGuide on YouTube.

And, while a much shorter list than LogicPro, you can read the update features available on Apple’s web page or in my GarageBand for macOS release notes pdf.

Also, the GarageBand User Guide is here.
