Logic Pro X Music Production Course | Miami

Welcome to a course in Logic Pro X that’s designed with beginners in mind, but is also suitable for self-taught students, who want to augment their understanding within a small class situation. Learn to compose, record and to mix the music that you love.

Our instructors in Miami are all professionals that have many successful years of making records under their belts – and they are all excited to show you how they’ve achieved this. As a participant, you’ll get 36 hours to question and interact with your instructors and fellow learners to share and extract inspiration, or to drill down to any problems or road-blocks to creativity that you’ve encountered. It’s a truly wonderful, inclusive environment to air problems and share successes. Best of all, it’s a music production course conducted in person, where you can be spontaneous, considered or measured – all to suit your style and pace. Learning Logic Pro X should be fun and interactive, and we haven’t lost sight of that, because it’s the best way to learn.

If this sounds right for you, you can bring your own laptop along for the course, and get help customizing it to suit your own requirements. This means that every project you begin whilst on the course will look and respond the same at home as it does in class, helping to give you the confidence to create. It’s cheaper for you to do it this way, too – but if you’d like to hire one of our fully-loaded iMacs (including the most recent version of Logic Pro X), simply ensure you book one (adding a supplement of $75) at the same time as you book your course. We’ll be happy to provide everyone with controller keyboards and headphones as standard.

    Testimonials

    I wouldn't change a thing about this course. It was ten times better than I expected it to be. The instructor was incredibly informative and kept things fun. I've played with software for a couple of years and thought I got most of the basics down but I definitely was wrong. Great course! I would definitely recommend this course to anybody wanting to learn the production side of music. It was incredibly helpful and left me inspired to make tracks 24/7.

    Kristina Bialkowski

    I went from knowing pretty much nothing about Logic to knowing how to built loops, work with midi, mix, and actually be able to record the music I write and and arrange on the computer. I'm really excited because Logic Pro X has opened up a new world for me as a singer songwriter!

    Dawn Red Sun

    I am a lot better off than I was months ago blindly watching Youtube tutorials and not knowing what I was doing. The teacher was a great, very patient and understanding, with all skill levels in the room.

    Abraham Perrotta

    The small class size allowed the instructor time to give us individual attention/feedback. The teaching style was easily adjusted according to the levels in the class. As a very new producer, I never felt left behind. I never would have thought I could make this much progress in just 6 weeks!

    Andie Arbogast

    This class was great. I've been wanting to learn digital music production and was warned that Logic was one of the most complex and difficult to learn DAW. In only 6 days I think I've learned the program well enough to start producing my own tracks. Not only that but I've left the class with enough excitement to get busy and make some music with my new found knowledge.

    Paul Vachier

    It was very hands on. the teacher knew a vast amount about this topic and is very informative and clear. He has methods of utilizing teachings that enable us to relate to better understand in what circumstances these methods would be used for productions.

    Raymond Casarez

    This class was tough for me, as I'm a beginner (and am 48 with not a ton of technical or DAW experience). I wanted to immerse myself, so I could learn as much as possible, but much of the class was still a bit too advanced for me. Darren was fantastic, and I REALLY appreciated the offer to come back and stand in future classes. That makes me feel like I'll definitely get my moneys worth!

    William 'John' Bragg

    I came into the program with no idea how to work Logic, and after the intensive week, I worked out programming beats, using loops and samples…I feel like I can take my music to the next level now. Thanks 🙂

    Christy Thompson

    Great teacher who leaves no stone unturned! After Garnish, I feel that I have the tools to build a strong foundation and begin a career in the music industry.
