Can You Import A YouTube Video Into Logic?

[reddvette]

I found a YouTube video that I want to import in to Logic. First of all, is that possible? The video is of a person playing a guitar solo that I want to learn but they are playing it in blistering real time. I want to bring it in to Logic and then use Flex Time to slow it down so I can learn it. If this is possible I would like to know how to do it. Thanks in advance.

I use Loopback (https://rogueamoeba.com/loopback/) to route the system audio output into Logic's input and record the output of the video in real time in Logic Pro.

Your options are:

- extract the audio from the video using an online tool (I use https://en.loader.to/2/ ) and drag/import into Logic

- use routing tools to route the sound from YT to Logic.

    - I use Blackhole to achieve this,

    - but you could also purchase Loopback, as per David's answer,

    - or use the loopback function of your soundcard if it has it. Many do, it might be worth checking.

Note: You won't be able to slow down the video in Logic; only the audio. I'd probably use davinci resolve to slow down the video.

I use 4K Downloader. https://www.4kdownload.com/

you can slow down the video directly on YouTube as well, though.

I use Rogue Amoeba's other awesome tool, Audio Hijack for this...

Guys, thanks for your help on this. It never occurred to me to just slow down the speed right there on YouTube. Now I feel dumb........LOL

It’s not obvious. 

using a different app (I use Virtual DJ in addition to Logic, because it allows easy isolation of stems, muting of vocals, etc.) gives other benefits, too, such as looping.
