WORKING WITH MIDI
Your introduction to inputting and editing MIDI. You'll learn how MIDI works, how to input MIDI notes into your DAW, and explore how to create expressive music using a range of MIDI editing tools.
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.

By the end of this module you will have mixed and mastered your work, and have a final export of your composition.
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.
