LOGIC 9 101: AN INTRODUCTION TO LOGIC
This three-day hands-on Apple Logic training course introduces students to the primary features and basic user interface of Logic Pro.

Students also create their own song using Apple 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 and Logic Express” by David Nahmani.
