Logic Tuition

Whether you use Logic 4, 5, 6, 7 or version 8 or 9 bundled in Logic Studio, I can provide you with the support you need to understand how to use Logic and make the most of your software and hardware, whether you are using Logic Pro or Logic Express.

I can help you with setting up your system if you are starting from scratch or with specific problems or questions.

How do you set up soundcards/drivers to get the best from them.

Using OS 9 or OS X or PC (with 4 or 5)? Whatever, I can help you understand the difference between Audio, Audio Instruments and Midi Instruments.

I have a lesson plan set up to cover all the things you need to know so if you need one lesson to cover a specific area or a block to learn from scratch I can help.

Now Logic Studio includes Soundtrack Pro, Waveburner and Main Stage. I will help you get the best out of these.
