Music Production Logic 101

An Introduction to Logic Express and Logic Pro

Course Description

This three-day hands-on course introduces students to the primary features and basic user interface of Logic Pro. Students learn how to generate a customized audio and midi configuration that will seamlessly integrate with their own personal production studio. Students also create their own song using Logic Pro's comprehensive array of software instruments, Apple Loops and DSP effects.

In-depth lessons will cover MIDI and audio recording, streamlined editing and arrangement techniques, user defined key commands, automation, scoring to picture and surround mixing. This course uses the Apple Pro Training Series book Logic Pro 8 and Logic Express 8, by David Nahmani.
