Providing a comprehensive introduction if you’re new to Mac computer music creation, this practical guide will show you how to use Logic Pro and have you up to speed in no time. You’ll not only understand what Apple’s Logic Pro software can do but also get hands-on with using it to accomplish various musical tasks. The book starts by getting you up and running with the basic terminologies. As you progress, you’ll explore how to create audio and MIDI musical parts. To build on your knowledge further, the book will guide you through developing an automated mix. In addition to this, you’ll learn how to bounce mixes and audio files for distribution. By the end of this book, you’ll be well-versed with Logic Pro and have the skills you need to create professional-quality music.
