Logic Pro X
Logic Pro X Music Production Course | San Francisco
The best way to learn to produce your music in Logic Pro X? To learn in small classes! Whether you’re just starting out, or have some self-taught production experience under your belt, this course will serve up some fantastic workflow shortcuts and friendly focus from industry-active professionals who form our superb roster. Participants will get to learn how to produce music the same way as the pros do.
The course length is 36 hours – plenty of time to ask questions and bounce ideas off your tutors and fellow participants as you share inspiration and tips in a room full of like-minded people. Garnish whole-heartedly believe this feature of the learning gives all students a significant edge over online learning courses and tutorial sessions.
If you’d prefer to use your own laptop for this kind of course, that could be a good idea for 2 reasons: firstly, you can get help setting it up the way you’d like (and having the added bonus of the laptop looking the same at home as it does in the classroom). Secondly, you save money on hiring a machine. However, you can easily hire a fully-loaded iMac from Garnish by adding a $75 supplement to reserve a machine at the same time as you book the course. We’ll always supply audio interfaces, headphones and controller keyboards for anyone who needs them, irrespective.
