Apple Logic 8 crash course

Course overview

Logic Studio 8 is the latest version of Apple and has become the most widely used professional music production package available for the Mac. It offers the user all the tools you expect to find in a professional recording studio such as effects and dynamic processors, instruments and a fully featured virtual mixing desk. Our Logic crash course is designed to teach you how to effectively use the powerful functions that Logic has available so you can accomplish professional productions and recordings. The course is aimed at the entry level student who has never used or has little experience of using this or any other music production software.

During the course you will be assigned a workstation and will go through the subjects necessary to use in an efficient and productive manner. The overall objective of the course is to enable the student to produce songs in their preferred style using the Logic software including its instruments and processors.

You can take this course either in a small group or on a one to one basis. The course is very intensive but still fun and can be taken over one or two days during weekdays, evenings or weekends. If you decide to study this course on a one to one basis you can change the course content and timetable to suit your personal requirements.

This course is also particularly suitable for people who are thinking of purchasing a home studio or a Mac but have yet to decide what soundcard, keyboard or software would be the most suitable for their needs. Our tutors and advisors are able to offer informed and impartial advice that will help you choose the best combination of hardware and software to suit your budget.
