Logic Pro X Course

School of Electronic Music is an Apple Logic Certified Training Centre

Introduction

If you’re an Mac user looking to make music, Logic Pro X is a great place to start, particularly if you’re from a singer/songwriter or acoustic slant. Logic Pro X is an incredibly powerful music production software used by professionals in the music industry globally, and can be purchased from the App Store for £199. As is the nature with making music, there’s a lot to learn and it can often be difficult to know where to start.

Our training for Logic Pro X is delivered as 12hrs 1-2-1 training. For this reason, it’s suitable regardless of the level you’re at, whether you’re a total beginner, or already a long-term Logic user looking to get more from it. Training can also be scheduled to fit around your schedule on weekdays, weekends or evenings.

If you’re a beginner, we can focus on the main areas that will help get you kickstarted into making music and finish a track. This includes learning how to record audio into Logic and programme instrumentation in the genre of your choice, arranging your musical ideas and gaining basic mixdown knowledge to bounce out a song by the end of the 12hrs.

If you’re more advanced and looking to learn specific techniques, our tutor Jonny Batchelor is extremely adept with Logic Pro X and will be able to discuss your requirements and build a more tailor-made curriculum.

As part of the course you’ll gain 6 weeks access to our Midi Lab and Studio 1 (that’s 7 days a week access!) from when you start, to continue using our powerful iMacs, software, and our technical support team to assist you.
