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. A special troubleshooting section helps students to set up and optimize a Logic system effectively.

What will you learn?
Who Should Attend?
This class is designed for those who want to learn music production and composition using Logic Pro or Logic Express and who prefer hands-on and interactive instruction to best explore its functionality.

Prerequisites
Students should have a basic knowledge of Mac OS and audio terminology before taking this course. If you are in doubt about your basic music tech proficiency you may wish to think about taking our “1-day Music Technology Crash Course.” If you are a beginner this course will help you to quickly become a proficient Logic Pro user.

Certification
One of the main aims of this course is to prepare students for Apple’s Certified Pro examinations. These industry-recognised qualifications are a useful addition to your CV demonstrating that you are a confident and knowledgeable Logic Pro user. At Alchemea we include one attempt at the Level 1 Logic Pro Certification Exam as part of the course.

If you wish you can take this exam at the end of the third day of your training under exam conditions. The pass mark is 80% and if you pass you become an "Apple Certified Pro" (Level 1). You also get a nice certificate from Apple!

Once you have passed you Level 1 exam you can then progress to take Apple’s 3-day “Logic 301 Course ” (Advanced Techniques in Logic Pro)

Logic Pro Level One certification also counts towards the new Logic Studio Master Pro certification. Master certification recognizes a user’s skills with the entire Logic Studio product suite. Since workflow is such a significant component, users need certification in at least two of the applications to earn Master Certification.
