LOGIC COURSES LEVEL 1

   

Welcome to Logic-Courses.com!
Our brand new Logic Level 1 course provides students with all the knowledge necessary to start making music with Logic Studio or Express. As well as being guided through all the main areas of the software, the modules also provide more general producer information about music, performance and production. At the end of the course, students should have all the basic skills required to produce their own tracks, with the 14 modules going from the jamming stage right through to final mastering. Students are even introduced to important sound creation methods, such as sampling and synthesizing, the latter with Novation's included classic Bass Station software synth.

Video Preview:


The course, which has been designed and presented by our very own Logic certified trainer Rob Jones, is presented in a series of online videos which you can watch where and when you prefer, with a full complement of accompanying downloadable materials for your future reference.

Also included with the Logic courses is a huge collection of nearly 1GB of royalty free samples from Loopmasters worth over £50, and a cult classic 'Bass Station' software synth from our sponsors Focusrite/Novation worth £25.

By taking our course you will not only get a perfect understanding of how to 
use your Logic software in the comfort of your home, acquire instantly usable royalty-free samples and a synthesizer, but once completed you will also be able to download your very own official certificate of completion, signed by our certified trainer, stating that you have taken the course and listing all the module topics.

 

How much does the course cost?
The cost for joining our beginner/intermediate course is just £149 GBP, which equates to approximately €165 Euros or $240 USD.

What equipment do I need?
To take the course you need to have a computer which is connected to the internet, a copy of Logic Studio or Express and some speakers or headphones connected to the computer. A MIDI controller keyboard would be useful, but is not essential.

How long does the course last?
The course is presented in 14 modules which each last between 19-25 minutes. We recommend at least 40 minutes practice of the techniques taught in each lesson, so overall it will take around 14-16 hours to complete.
