Suggested Learning Routine

Monday — Logic Basics

Navigation, shortcuts, editing and project organization.

Tuesday — Drums & MIDI

Create beats, basslines, chords and melodies.

Wednesday — Recording

Practice vocals, instruments, comping and audio editing.

Thursday — Production

Build arrangements, transitions and effects.

Friday — Mixing

Practice EQ, compression, panning, buses and effects.

Saturday — Complete a Song

Take one idea from an empty project to a finished production.

Sunday — Review

Listen to what you made, identify problems, and practice the areas that gave you difficulty.

The Most Important Rule

Do not only watch tutorials—open Logic Pro and practice what you learn.

Every week, try to finish at least one complete production, even if it is not perfect. Finishing songs will teach you much faster than continually starting new projects.
