Logic Pro 1: Production - Course Preview

Apple's announcement of the Logic X upgrade last last year took everyone by surprise but was widely welcomed.

As well as many brand new features, it had a new look and rewrite of terminology and key commands.

Ski's job has been to manage the update of Point Blank Online School's flagship Logic course from 9 to X, which meant updating all terms, screenshots and the majority of videos.

The course launched last October and you can sign up for it here:
