About this course

Volume 4 of Dov Waterman's series opens Part 2 and shifts gear: this is about applying everything from Part 1 to real tracks. You'll work through a case study of Dov's track Witches' Whisper, exploring how a creative template seeds an idea, how creative automation breathes life into static parts, how organic sounds and orchestral sections coexist with synth elements. The volume is hands-on with real material throughout. End-of-section challenge: apply smart controls and automation to your own track.

Continue with Volume 5 (The Editing Process) for cleanup and arrangement.

Who it's for

  • Composers who completed Part 1 (Volumes 1-3)
  • Producers ready to write more confidently in Logic
  • Composers wanting to combine orchestral and synth material

What you'll learn

  • Seed compositions from a creative template you've built
  • Apply creative automation that goes beyond volume and pan
  • Combine orchestral, organic and synth elements in one track

What you'll need

  • Logic Pro on a Mac
  • A template (from Volume 1) or willingness to start one
  • An idea — even just a sound, a rhythm or a mood
