I first met David when I was asked to write The Apple Pro Training Series: Logic 6. David Dvorin created and directed the Education Department at Emagic, and when I met him he had moved on to become the Manager of Educational Development for Apple's Pro Apps division. Since then David has been my go-to guy ... when I have a question about Logic, I ask him! I've personally learned a lot from David. In fact, I still learn a lot from him ... David is one of the foremost Logic educators in the world today.
David's credentials are impeccable! Besides his work as an education specialist for both Emagic (the maker of Logic before Apple bought it) and the Professional Applications division at Apple Computer, David has also acted as a consultant for Native Instruments. He is the author of Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Logic Pro 7 published by Peachpit Press, and is a music professor at Sierra College and California State University, Chico. A frequent presenter at music technology conferences, David gives workshops and seminars on computer music and education throughout the United States and Canada.
David’s activity as a composer/performer includes performances at numerous new music venues, technology conferences, and music festivals. His last CD release, With(in)communicado, has received much critical acclaim and airplay, both internationally and throughout the U.S., including an entry in the All Music Guide (www.allmusic.com). He has worked extensively with a wide variety of artists and musicians, including the Kronos Quartet and multiple collaborations with composer Terry Riley.
A classically-trained musician, David received a B.A. in Music Composition from the University of California, Los Angeles, and an M.F.A. in Music Composition from the California Institute of the Arts, where he studied with Morton Subotnick, Stephen L. Mosko, and Wadada Leo Smith. While attending both schools, he worked professionally as a film, multi-media and television composer, and was nominated for an Emmy Award in the category of Outstanding Achievement in a Craft: Music Composition, as an undergraduate.
And he's also one of the most genuine and sincere people I've ever met! I am incredibly pleased to present his training videos here at macProVideo.com ...
