The Apple-Certified Way to Learn
Record, arrange, produce, mix, and master music with this bestselling, Apple-certified guide to Logic Pro. Veteran producer and composer David Nahmani uses real-world professional Logic Pro projects to guide you through step-by-step instructions and straightforward explanations, ranging from basic music creation to sophisticated production techniques.
Using a project-based approach, this book shows you how to record audio and software instruments, create musical content, and build arrangements. You;ll explore Session Players to create professional drum, bass, and keyboard performances, and use the Chord track to edit your song;s chord progressions.
