Logic 8 206

No matter what synth you are using this is the introduction to all kind of synthesis. Highly recommended for anybody who wants to leave thoose preset browsing days behind.

Thanks for a good tutorials! This video Logic 206: ES2 Exposed it helpful to me as well as all your vids. Thank you!

All of Steve H’s courses have been good but this one takes the biscuit. When I first tried to use the ES2 I found the presets disappointing and the faceplate confusing so I ignored it for ages. Then I started experimenting and getting some interesting results. However, now I’ve been watching this tutorial I’m really beginning to get it, and not just the ES2, but the principles of synthesis and sound-design more generally. This is probably the best thing I’ve used from MacProVideo and I c...

This machine is realy amazing !!!

I had a basic understanding of how synths worked prior to purchasing logic but was unsure of the ES2 as there are so many options with it. This tutorial was really helpful to understand the working of the ES2 and also provided more info on synths that I didn't know about. Steve H is brilliant at getting the facts over and he adds a bit of humour to the tutorials which makes the learning fun. Just how it should be...

I was completely new to synthesizers and the ES2. This is a great intro. I feel very confident about how to use the ES2, and am comfortable with other synthesizers I've encountered since watching this. I highly recommend it if you want to learn some of the hidden functionality of the ES2 or if you just want a primer on synthesizers. FYI, I bought the software oscilloscope (3rd party plug in) used in the lessons & would follow along while watching. It's pretty nice software.

Takes you right through the interface and the controls in a logical and detailed way, but could go further with more musical examples of how individual controllers impact sound design. Would like to see more on side-chaining and mid control

Fantastic tutorial! I really enjoyed how it taught the fundamentals of synthesis along with how to apply this knowledge to Logic's ES2. You guys have fantastic tutorials and great customer service. My only suggestion... I often have to keep pausing your tutorials to write down what is being said. And with so much good info, I honestly get writers-cramp and it slows me down. If you could include some kind of summary/reference document for each tutorial (pdf maybe?), that would be ~really...

So far I'm very satisfied with the tutorials. It is really the best way to get to know the sometimes very complex applications. I would like one on how to use the video editing features within logic pro 8. Can't find one on you webside? Daniel Smith, Denmark

Professional, informative, very in depth, entertaining, unbelievably more than I thought or expected. The author is a world class expert. What a great private lesson. Invaluable. Can't wait to get to the other videos. I am the EWI player who met and talked to Steve at NAMM Thanks, Mark Tulga 5+

Steve H. knows his schizzle. He took a Logic plug-in that was totally foreign to me and made me a near expert (okay not quite, but pretty close).

Excellent tutorial. I especially found the hidden modulations such as the wavetable sweeping very helpful. Also the real world application of the Random function was very useful. That's exactly what I was looking for!!

Great tutorial; dusted off some things I had forgotten all about, and taught me some clever things I didn't even know you could do with the ES2. Highly recommended for beginners and experienced users alike!

This course covers the level of detail that logic overview course haven't got time for...The are some great features in this instrument that are just not that obvious and this course will helps you get the most out of the ES2.

The best teaching on synths i have come across

Once again, another really excellent video from Steve Horelick! You will realize how flexible and powerful ES2 is, but also how complex it is with many non-obvious features like filter chaining. Steve covers all these points clearly. If you already know analog synth, the description on Vector alone is worth the admission, and not to mention side-chaining. I thought I knew a lot about analog synths, but this has further deepened the synth programming skills for me just not on ES2 but also other a...

I get it now :) ES2 is a extremely powerful synth and Steve, once again, makes it easy to understand Logics designers strange UI ideas.

Amazing tutorial! I used to skip over the ES2 and go straight for the ES1 because there were just too many knobs, faders, and parameters to get a grasp of everything. I couldn't even figure out how to mix the oscillators -- the ES2's default preset has the mixing triangle controlled by the vectors. But now I even understand what I just said =) Steve's done a great job breaking down EVERY SINGLE option on the ES2. Although the tutorial claims it's only 150 min., it took me several days to full...

Great tutorial! Really clear and helpful. Highly recommended.

This tutorial as well as Sculpture's is amazing.The manuals seem daunting at first but, thanks to Mr Aitch and Igor...I can confidently digest the books now.Steve helps everything CLICK into place.That alone is testament to the power of teaching available here. QUALITY

Perfect! Funny, easy to understand, good pace, well thought out, & thorough.

All your tutorials are outstanding, and this one is no exception. My learning curve for logic studio has definitely been accelerated. Will you be releasing a video for Mainstage? In my opinion, it's the most exciting addition to Logic Studio.

This was a very good tutorial. Steve Horelick did a very good job of breaking down a very complex instrument and keeping things digestible while not being patronizing. His friendly and humourous approach helped a great deal. I found I was much less intimidated by the ES 2 after watching his tutorial, and I felt much more in control. Perhaps the only criticism I would offer is that perhaps some more time spent on characterizing some of the sounds that individual waves or combinations of waves ...

As I have purchased many other Logic tutorials, I was a little hesitant to get this one. After all, how different could it be? I am really glad I decided to go ahead and get it. So appropriately named. This really exposes and demystifies the ES2. I had no idea how powerful this engine is. Steve H. does it again. The only thing I wish he had done differently is to add practical examples to his explanations of the filter section instead of just using white noise to explain the filters. Whi...

The tutorial is easy to understand, well thought out, thorough instructions, the humor was ok too. Oh and the variable speed was a great idea!!!

I've taken a lot of the MacProVideo tutorials and this is the best one yet. Delves into great detail without becoming too obtuse. I am eager to get into the ES2 and start applying my new knowledge. No longer a slave to factory presets! Thanks, Steve H.!

The ES2 is a brillant learning video, if your like me and are new too software music production these videos are a must. I've watched logic starter and ultrabeat also and the information they give you is priceless. It takes the frustration out of learning

Loved it...learned alot. I will need some refreshers. Overall, I couldn't walk away from it. Thanks, that was a blast -- very enjoyable. I am looking forward to watching the other videos.

The tutorials in this series on ES2 move through this synth app in a well-ordered and sensible progression. But the ES2 is a complicated beast - and I found that its complexities outweigh its capabilities. Kudos to the folks at MacProVideo for creating a great library of videos. I am using the one on Mixing Electronica, and that one is great. I am really loving Logic Express 8, and this collection seems to be a great way to get up to speed.

Like watching a good film, you don't want this to end. At first I was put off this instrument because of its seemingly complicated interface. After watching the tutorial it is one of my favourite synths in Logic. Keep up the good work!

A great tutorial for both experienced and non-experienced Logic/ES2 users!

I wasn't sure if i would gain anything from this tutorial. How wrong i was. Once i saw Steve get those digi waveforms morphing, i realised that this was one amazing synth. After watching this i no longer am tweaking and guessing, i know exactly how to get the sounds i want. Brilliant.

Excellent job! Great exploration of an awesome synth. I think every Logic Pro user must have this, especially a dance music producer can benefit a lot from it! You can make a killer sound bank from ES2 after all these synth programming technics. More "expose" please?

This is a test review. Please ignore it.

This tutorial rocks! Delivered in the trademark, enthusiastic and comedy stylings of Steve H, (and of course, Egor) you can't fail to be drawn in by the massive amount of sound sculpting and down right outrageous tweaking possibilities this synth has to offer. Another in a long line of must see tutorials. Great job!

Awesome as always.

De mystified! Eureka moments abound! It is a very nice thing to know that one can remain teachable.Thanks for the enlightenment.

fantastic! now i understand how many effects i have been wondering about are actually achieved. thank you so much!

MPV's training products are getting better and better all the time. Great for learning AND getting workflow ideas. Nothing else compares out there. Buy it!

Before getting to know Macprovideo.com, Logic Audio was an incredible difficult program to learn. After trying Logic 7 101, I was surprised how easy it became for me. Then I bought all tutorials related to Logic, also this most recent one, ES2 Expose. Steve H. and Martin S. do together an amazing job and I am a huge fan. Thank you guys.

This is a humorous, insightful and altogether refreshing tutorial of an amazing synth. Steve Horelick kicks ass when it comes to explaining the most complex aspects of the ES2...

As usual, excellent production and logical(!) progression through the tutorial. The 'Sound Workshop' section is a great idea - more of this kind of thing would be very welcome. Presented in Steve's usual friendly manner, there is a wealth of information here, and most of the sections merit re-viewings to consolidate it. As a newcomer to synth programming, this was an enormous help.

Very good. Maybe more sound example.

This is the tutorial I've been waiting for...thanks to all at Macprovideo for making this possible! Am happy so far and keenly awaiting the next installments. Am already sure they'll merit 5 stars from the content I've already seen.

It's finally here! Thank you once again Steve for making this wonderful ES 2 so user friendly. The potential here is immense. I haven't finished all of the lessons as yet,but so far I am fully pleased with my investment for so much knowledge being easily conveyed so clearly with fun,interest and let's not forget Steve's Charming humour (I should mention - oh Egor!What have you done Now!@#%*)

So far so good. very much looking forward to seeing the rest of the tutorial. Like all the Mac Pro Video Logic tutorials there is no other way to learn. I won't even touch instrument or plugin until steve H and the gang have taught me how to use it. Keep em coming MPV. I can't wait to hand over my cash!

Very good tutorials - finally I'm starting to undrstand not just ho the ES2 works but am also getting to grips with the fundamentals of syhthesisers in general! The approach is clear and user-friendly, many thanks.

Both Logic Pro 8 and ES2 are very well done. I hope that you continue to do a more in-depth instruction on the environment window. Take care and have a good day
