module 3
WORKING WITH DIGITAL AUDIO
Here we explain sample rates, bit depth, and file formats which will set a foundation for your work with audio. You'll learn editing techniques (splitting, copying, fading, looping, and adjusting volume), as well as audio processing techniques like normalisation, pitch-shifting, and effects.
module 4
CONTROLLERS, BUSSES & EFFECTS
Mastering 'Continuous Controllers' will help you create expressive MIDI compositions in any context. You'll implement advanced audio routing techniques, such as creating auxiliary tracks and using bus-based effects.

PRACTICAL projects
HANDS-ON LEARNING WITH STEMS & TASKS
Our popular MinusONE assignments are a great way to learn. After watching a video tutorial, you download the Logic Pro project files and audio stems for semi-complete projects, and complete the missing parts yourself using what you’ve just learned. You’re not starting with a blank page, and the hands-on experience really helps to cement your learning.
In addition, step-by-step Tasks and Projects allow you to follow along with the videos to help practice your workflow and guide you more efficiently to your goals.
