Logic Pro - Apple Pro Training: Professional Music Production [Paperback]

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. You;ll use Sample Alchemy, Beat Breaker, and Quick Sampler to create stutter effects and vocal chops, and learn ear-candy production techniques, such as parallel processing and turntable start and stop effects. You;ll use Flex Time to stretch audio and correct the timing of recordings, and you;ll tune vocals with Flex Pitch. You;ll add the warmth and coloration of analog audio equipment with the mix, and automate the song with ChromaGlow, mix a song using EQ, compression, delay, reverb, and other plug-ins to achieve a professional sound. Finally, you;ll automate the mix and prepare the song for distribution on streaming services with Mastering Assistant.
