Welcome to this first lecture about Logic Pro X. So this is an introduction to Logic Pro X, I'm going to quickly go over what everything basically does to get you up and running and making music straight away. So if you do want a more in detailed course about Logic Pro X I definitely suggest checking out my complete guide to Logic Pro X, which is where you go from beginner all the way to advanced. If you check out the bonus lecture after all of this I'll give you some special discounts and coupon codes as well to get you up and running on The Complete Guide to Logic Pro X.

In this next lecture I'm going to go over Apple Loops quickly, but this is just a brief overview if you do check out my Complete Guide to Logic Pro X I do go into Apple Loops into a lot more detail, but this lecture will just get you up and running in creating music straight away.

This next lecture is about recording in software instruments and recording in your own parts. I will show you on screen how to use musical typing to record MIDI information with software instruments. This lecture is where we will record in our own music to Logic Pro X. I will also show you the MIDI editor and how to edit and quantise your MIDI information.

In this next lecture I'm going to talk about the brand new drummer track in Logic Pro X. 

Logic have actually recorded in loads of different drummers, loads of different patterns in all different styles and techniques and it's actually really simple to create and edit drum with the drummer feature.

This lecture is about automation in Logic Pro X. Automation allows you to change certain parameters of the instruments such as the volume or the effects or the pan over time. 

I also explain live automation which is where you can live automate in real time.

In this lecture I'm going to talk about the ES2 synthesizer. So the ES2 is one of the more complicated and versatile synthesizers in Logic Pro X, there is loads of stuff we can actually do with it, but on a first glance it can look really complicated but I'm going to quickly go over the basics of this synth.

In this lecture I'm going to talk about flex. We've got two different types of flex, we've got flex time and flex pitch. Flex time allows us to change the timing of the audio and flex pitch allows us to change the pitch of the audio. Flex pitch is brand new to Logic Pro X and it can be really useful for creating harmonies or just for correcting certain pitches.

In this next lecture I'm going to talk about mixing in Logic Pro X. Mixing is a really detailed dense subject and if you want to know more about mixing I definitely recommend checking out my Complete Guide to Logic Pro X where I've got a whole section and several different lectures on mixing but I'm going to try my best just to quickly give you a quick overview of mixing and the mixer in Logic Pro X.
