About this course

Volume 2 of Aamir Yaqub's Logic Pro series. Now that you know Logic's interface, this course is about creating drum and beat content. You'll learn what MIDI is, how to record from a USB MIDI controller (or Logic's Musical Typing keyboard), how to quantise and edit in the Piano Roll, and how to use Logic's flagship Drummer feature for instant grooves. The course ends with Apple Loops - Logic's library of pre-made musical content and how to browse it with metadata filters.

Designed by Garnish Music Productions. Continue with Volume 3 (Synthesis, Synths & MIDI Effects) for melodic content.
