David Earl

love it, more FM Synthesis=)

Brilliant tutorial. FM8 was a mystery to me until this tutorial. I feel like I can now go into the FM8 and create sounds instead of relying on the presets. Thanks, David. Excellent way of explaining the daunting synth as well. Can't wait for the next one.....

I'm giving this 5 stars in advance, A because david earl has never done any less, and B i asked for this tutorial a few months ago, and whether or not it was already in development already, or it was taken into consideration, here it is! Thanks mpv

David (aka SFLogicNinja) is an audio beast when it comes to anything related to digital audio production. Having viewed just about all of his well thought out and informative video tutorials, I was floored when I saw his name in the byline of one of my go-to synths. As with all of his lessons/tutorials, David has the ability to offer incite and new approaches that you may have not have even considered, and can educate even the most "seasoned" musician. I'd give this tutorial 10 stars if I could....

Just wow! Dont let you fool by the title and the category. It is not just for Logic owners, and not even just for vocoding, it gives you a deep understanding of parameters of all virtual instruments like samplers, synthesizers! One of the most well understandable tutorials I have ever watched!

Awesome! it will definitely change my workflow!!!

Quality.Best teacher here

Hi Martin, I really enjoyed this tutorial. It helped me to understand all these wonderful functions of the EVOC. I would have loved to see more examples of application possibilities, but through this tutorial I´ve got enough knowledge now to experience on my own. best regards Amir

Superior tutorial. It helps a lot when the musical ideas presented as examples are sweet on the ear, and the way David conveys the musical potential of the EVOC-20 really hits home. I find Logic's own instruments very rewarding because they need to be explored in depth...in order to see that they are as good as third-party plug-ins.It depends on the individual.Cheers

A great tutorial! I´m not quite unfamiliar with vocoder plugins, but the run through of the synth section was an eye opener. From now on I will most certainly consider the EVOC an alternative to other softsynths. Only drawback is the sound of EVOC itself! It has nothing to do with the teacher or the tutorial. I find it pretty hard to find a satisfying sound, if you´re not going for a robot sound. I mainly use the Orange vocoder, but transfer value from this tutorial is high!

Dave earl or david as he doesn´t care - That Much ! - is a wonderful TEACHER.

SFLogicNinja, real Logic hooded hyperninja, on top of being an Earl of Logic pacing the intergalactic realm in quantumcybercruiser, making giant leap for musiciankind.

After watching 'Producing with folders' I reorganised all my big projects the way David explained so very clearly. What a relief. I also will use the folder strategy when I start recording the vocals. I feel organised and in control.

I discovered David Earl while searching for Logic 8 tutorials. The enigmatic SFLogicNinja had already provided quite a lot of Logic lessons on his You Tube page. After having some trouble seeing some of these brilliant if a little blurry (I am vision impaired) videos, I emailed him and he put me onto MacProVideo.com! I'm glad he did, as I've downloaded a truck full of tutorials for Logic and now have the opportunity to rave about Mr Earl and his fine teaching ability! In this tutorial we ...

Through both MPV and David Earl, I am very well-versed with Logic now. However , the only 2 instruments I was uncomfortably short of knowledge on were these.The Logic manual seems extra-cold on the EVP88 and EVB3....but after this I will be poring through it again, knowing that this tutorial has unlocked the tweakability of these instruments.Very interesting history and explanation of their inner workings that , rather than detract, actually gives the important " Wow ! " light-bulb moments. A LO...

I've been following SFLogicNinja's stuff for a couple of years now on Youtube and have always found any of his tutorials to be exceptionally clear, informative, and delivered with an enjoyably casual yet clearly incredibly knowledgeable air. This tutorial is no exception, and will likely cause me to completely re-think (in particular) how I've organized my large orchestral template, using Folders. My only suggestion to David Earl: do more tutorials on MacProVideo! :-)

The guy knows his stuff. I've heard some of his other tips on YouTube as SFLogicNinja. He has a coaxing manner which I like. I would rather go through one fully structured video like this than piece together the info from random clips. Rating is 4 because I never give 5 to anything.

Fantastic... a great Logic tutorial!

Absolutely useful tutorial! I changed my workflow with ease. It's now a naturally approach to work with folders. Well done! And many thanks to Dave for the good explanation!

Absolutely brilliant. Lays out a complex area with clarity and in a great relaxed, but detailed, way. My only criticism is that most of the demonstration recording tracks were empty - it would have been nice to hear the audio elements as they fit together. Still, this is a powerful and deep set of techniques and will definitely improve my workflow and understanding of Logic.

No surprise to see David here at Mac Pro.I was wondering when he was going to be noticed.I have been following David on You Tube for a couple of years.I purchased this tutorial without looking at it,that's how much confidence I have in David.Keep them coming. Bryan McClain

As usual, useful tutorial for Logic. My only comment is, as the author said, some techniques not quite right for MIDI files or apparently don't work with them, and I mostly use MIDI, but I would think a work around would be to bounce MIDI tracks down to audio tracks, or freeze them if that works, though i've not tried either approach yet. Only give it 4 stars because of above comment, but tutorial is good on the subject.

Very, very useful. I loved it! Thanks David!

Producing With Folders /David Earl Sometimes the practical things we benefit from learning are so dry & dull it's a tough road to travel ! David has done a fine job of both informing me and keeping me awake with this less then glamorous subject matter ! Great Job Mr Earl !

The sflogicninja videos on youtube have been VERY informative over the last few years so i didn't need much persuasion to purchase this tutorial. I found it easy to follow and these techniques will help me to work in a much more organised way. More please and thanks very much.

Hi I got into folders in Notator Logic years ago but they kind of got forgotten about but tutorial has well gotten me back into it Thanks folks

An amazing tutorial into the depth of producing with folders. Learned a lot of nice steps in regards to the streamlining of one's workflow. Did feel, however, that it could have been about half the length. A bit too much time watching Earl edit, copy and paste. Didn't feel that footage needed to be a part of this tutorial. Still great though! Learned a lot from watching his technique! And a very well spoken instructor.

This is one of those tutorials where you watch the whole thing end to end, then totally restructure your workflow for the rest of time while repeating "why did I never learn to do this before??!!" Thanks David Earl you are a ninja indeed

Very helpful tutorial about using folders in Logic. This topic has always been a closed book for me but now i will use folders much more. Thanks s lot.

This is so very, very good! Highly recomended !

Great Vid from Mr Earl. Very comprehensive explanations of folder use for arranging and mixing. Look forward to seeing more Vids from Sf Logicninja.

It's great to see SFLogicNinja on MPV! Your tutorial is really interesting. A must-show for anyone doing large session!

Glad to see SFLogic ninja on here finally. Your youtube videos helped a ton when I was first starting out. Can't believe it took this long before you're doing a tutorial for MPV. Good work, once again.
