Martin Sitter

What more can I say but PURE GOLD!!!

Well constructed path through the maze of features that comprise Logic. Only drawback is that sometimes we end up "off screen" in the tutorial.

I've been involved with performing, recording, mastering, and processing audio in one form or another since 1968. From drumsticks to DAWs, I've seen and done quite a bit. I have all of the Logic videos. They are truly the key to your musical universes, trust me. These have stunning quality and instruction. The produces and instructors are obviously well above "expert" level, and these videos are simply amazing in their instructional value. I have never seen a better tutorial style or series conc...

Being relatively inexperienced in recording, Logic is a fairly heavy risk. I've tried other resources and felt confused. It has taken me two passes at Logic 101 to have it begin to make sense. This course has been very helpful. I'm ready now to go through the "hands on" stage, and I'll probably work through it again. Thanks for this excellent guide.

these tutorials are the absolute best way, to become familiar with what it is you are working with. simple, easy to follow steps, get you up and running in no time, and show you tricks that you probably didnt even know existed. i highly recommend using them, to get the most out of whatever programs you may be working with !

Once again Martin has delivered a perfect tutorial for understanding Logic. I have just purchased Logic Studio 9 and this is my first open door to audio work. Already I have gained clear understanding on the process of making music and how to approach the method of recording. An absolute must buy if you are new to Logic or even a seasoned user.

Logic 101 - Core Logic is a MUST for anyone beginning to use LOGIC. At first I was quite hesitant to buy any of the MACPROVIDEO range but after taking the plunge… I'm VERY glad I did. This video has helped me immensely towards understanding LOGIC to produce music. The video of great quality visually and the tutors explain ‘what they are doing’ & ‘how they do it’ in a very clear & concise manner, also I love the way MACPROVIDEO have broken down the tutorials into sections making it ...

Looks very interesting and potentially very powerful. I've been excited about trying this software since I heard about it. It'd be great to have access to the items Spiro mentioned below.

excellent introduction to Logic - just like its predecessor. Can´t get any better than this.

This is a godsend! Martin has cleverly used his understanding and knowledge from programs such as DVD Studio Pro to put into practice for the Appomator. Everything is clear and makes sense for the end user to put their ideas into practice with a simple yet powerful work flow. From watching this tutorial I virtually know how to get started right away. I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this. And as Martin said, it will evolve over time and get bigger and better. This is just what us keen...

Thank you. Great app developer the Appomator.What about if we were able to use the location , accelarator, camera and synthesizer and all the other functions included in the iphone

The videoes are just fantastic! I´ve tried to figure things for many years in Logic. Yes, it´s a marvelous program but I´ve had big trouble getting in to it. This is the first time I don´t mostley feel frustrated. I´ve seen no. 45 out of 260. Many more to go.

Clear. Great coverage for getting started. My only disappointment was the large amount of time on the subject of sound in the beginning. Getting into editing soundwaves as the first chapter???? That's nuts. Felt like I was in a masterclass. Anyway, overall very helpful and nice job. Worth the money, which is the key element.

I knew quite a few things already by just looking at others and just doing it. But a friend noted me on this tutorial so i watched it. Its a clear lesson which shows you the tricks around logic and i liked it very much. Not to many big words, and if there where, you get them explainend, very handy if english isn't your native language.

I feel this training will probably be used by a lot of people either new to computers or switchers from Windows. As such I felt the author over emphasized the possibility of someone gaining unauthorized access to their Mac. These kind of warnings belongs in the Security section of training but not in as many places as he put them. His over emphasis might lead to the feeling that the Mac is not as safe as it is. If he updates the training I hope he puts these warnings in the proper location...

Wow - I'd been trying to figure out Logic Pro 9 on my own and it appears very overwhelming without any starting knowledge. This course explains all the basics and then some! Basically - excellent, Martin demonstrates the use of Logic to build a song from zero and gives an enjoyable, humorous and very informative description which has given me the confidence to use Logic on every music project. Thanks for a great course!

I'd give this tutorial 3.5 stars. It was a great tutorial in many respects, and I especially learned a lot about setting up MIDI in the environment. The best part is that you will understand and learn how to use the Environment, and compared to other Environment tutorials, that's an accomplishment in itself. Still, sometimes Martin can speak quite fast and forget to slow down for those who aren't as sharp on their MIDI/Audio theory (me!). He may also skip over the occasional core concept, assum...

if you need subtitles and additional languages in your DVD project, then you need this tutorial.

This was a particularly useful tutorial as I had questions on how to connect & configure external instruments for the use with Logic. This tutorial was then recommended to me. I found it very detailed and easy to grasp. I was able to directly put what I learned to good use. Again, thanks for the good work.

Just when you think you know a program, I've been using Logic for sometime now and just out of curiosity I thought I'd watch the 101 to see if there's something I could learn. I'm glad I did, don't be fooled by the 101. Good stuff here. -DC

SO I was asked to write a review...Hummm as they say in French, "les gens heureux n'ont pas d'histoire". Meaning happy people don't have stories to tell or in other words you never hear them complaining. That's my problem with all the videos I purchased from MacProVideo. They are all so clear, so detailed and so user friendly to use that one dives right into becoming an expert and we forget to thank the teacher. Where can I put my apple I brought for you teach??? Thanks a million for all your...

Great tutorial on Logic's Environment, as well as Martin's really good detail instructing. Thanks Dude. This is a good Logic ground floor tutorial and should be viewed by all Logic users. MacPro Martin and company guys, it is time for an update on the Environment and how us the Environment in Logic 9. I'm a newbe to Logic and started with Logic. I hope to see the new updated tutorial soon!

This was such a well done tutorial. Martin is very clear and makes complete sense with everything he explains. It was a real pleasure to experience and learn!

If you are into music and production and loves Logic as I do, this tutorial is the best you can get not only to get deep into Logic but also to improve your skills all over music creating, producing, mixing and mastering. Must have!!!

An excellent way to learn Logic. I've been recording and using DAWs for years, and just recently switched over to Logic 9. Although the core concepts and functionality of DAWs are very similar, I decided to get some videos to help speed up my learning curve with the Logic interface and also to discover new working methods. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of this tutorial, and I'm looking forward to viewing the other Logic tutorials that I picked up. I create video tutorials for a...

Have to agree. Its a no brainer. Get this tutorial and you love it.

These videos are fantastic. Trying to learn with the manual was quite frustrating. These videos have helped me to move things along at a much faster pace. Really enjoy the format which allows me to go over the specific segments I need at any given time without having to sit through everything else. I've learned tons of new things already. So happy I found these vids. Can't thank you enough!

Best purchase decision I could have made. I was "getting by" pretty good with Logic, having switched over from ProTools, but didn't feel I was using the program to its full potential. There were also a few areas that were a little rough for me. The video cleared up all the uncertain areas, got me MUCH more comfortable with the program, and showed me a LOT of very important functions and techniques - and I'm not talking about things like keyboard shortcuts, either. I'm talking about highly usable...

Excellent tutorial, extremely thorough. I feel like I have a good grasp of the basics of Logic and am looking forward to exploring more tutorials as I progress. Martin is a patient and expert guide. I especially appreciated how he explained every little step, mouse movement and keystroke as he went, this really helped reinforce some of the core workflow concepts as it's a lot of information to absorb.

The tutorial is great taking me through recording a song from start to finish,its just what I needed a clear concise tutorial.I use it often when I need help with my projects and I even got exposed to a genre of music I would not normally listen to. Thanks Martin

Excellent overview of Logic...I'm working on my first song now thanks!

This is a great set of tutorials. The best way to get to know Logic. Congrats, MPV guys ! Fleer

It is informative. It drives me crazy that he says "audi - ahhh" though.

a must for all new to Logic!! Im a new mac user also so making the leap from pc, and with only my experimental knowledge of cubase LE i had the basic principles of recording etc. I also use a midi drum kit so my midi editing knowledge was there, but basic. This guide not only gave me confidence in using logic pro, but gave me invaluable tips and tricks in structuring my songs, im a drummer in a rock band, so whilst the music generated in the turoial was dance/r&b it still was very impressive...

Fantastic way to learn. I was able to retain most of the information easily because each video clip is short and sweet. And there were many,many clips! Great job guys!

the best way to learn and master logic... just awesome ;-)

Absolutely wonderful instruction. As a retired music educator, I know good, sequential instruction when I see it, and this is top quality stuff.

first rate tutorial, I have learnt things I never ever knew, would have liked more details on system preferences. all in all, a great little tutorial for the money, I have replayed it twice now and will no doubt continue to do so. Thanks again for a really great service. John Cross

I'm really enjoying the videos. Do you have hard copies available or is it expected to burn your own? I'm a little nervous if something were to happen to my computer. Anyway....great stuff. I like the detail and the fact I can work along side the video at the same time. I like the layout and the fact everything is broken out in short clips. Really works well for me. Thanks!

Very helpful Nice to have something you can play back multiple times

Your videos are always top notch. I watch them and continually learn new things and different ways to accomplish similar tasks. I have recently begun to work out at night... My workouts have now been postponed until I finish your tutorials! Martin explains things so well, I feel like I am sitting there next to him. Thanks again, Eric

Coming from ProTools, Logic looks like a jungle with all the knobs and drop-down menu's. And just one look at the 1.000 pages printed manual makes me want to go outside and mow the lawn instead. Not anymore with this tutorial. Up and running in no time, nicely paced and chaptered, with the perfect amount of detail - not to a subatomic level, not too superficial either. Excellent

I have only been able to watch the first few sections, and I love how detailed and simple it starts off. He's so clear with everything, it feels so easy to learn... so far! My one concern is that even though I've only watched about half of the sections of the 1st chapter, the subject matter seems to jump around in a way that seems a bit illogical, but perhaps that's because I don't know how it all ties in yet. I can give a more accurate review later.

Really great!

Easy to understand...You need this one ! A lot of great stuffs. Logic rocks ! Vincent (Belgium) on logic express 8

Excellent review - worth every penny!

I've made it about 80% of the way through Logic 101 and I'm totally blown away. You guys are fantastic. I was so impressed I pretty much bought everything else I wanted to know about a day or two later. I just wish I had discovered your videos earlier...I would have saved a lot of time and frustration.

I really like this tutorial! The enthusiasm of Martin Sitter is really stimulating. Keep on going Martin!

I briefly examined Logic 101, and so far I am impressed. For me it is easy to follow. Way better than the manual. And most important it saves me a lot of time. At age 76 I likely do not have AMPLE time to study 1053 pages of the instruction manual. Thankx guys. Good work.

Logic is my first attempt to enter the world of digital recording, and I knew I was in over my head when I opened the program for the first time... I was completely overwhelmed. I knew from past experience that video tutorials were the learning tool for me. I purchased many how-to books on Photoshop, Lightroom and assorted software programs; however, nothing got me up to speed faster than watching someone actually use the programs. So, I search online and found (and ordered) the MacProVid...

Useful tutorial. It would be improved with additionof advanced material.

I'm coming from the Windows world and I find that very little of that knowledge (apart from conceptual) is transferable. This is a level 1 training and it certainly covers the material in sufficient detail. My preference is to cover the main elements at a high level and then be able to do deeper dive afterwards - this course takes one through serially to a pretty deep level at each step. I find this harder to absorb and retain than where one can do a high level pass followed by a more in-dep...

film nr 8 frustrated me. The re-linking assets didn`t work for me. There seem to be differences between the english version and the german version. Especially in the short-cut menu. If I press the right button - nothing happens... But overall: if there wouldn`t be your tutorials I couldn`t understand the software so quickly.

in a world of "how tos" it's refreshing when some come along that actually deliver. i use and will continue to use tutorials from macprovideo. take care!

Another superb class on the basics of Logic Pro. Tremendous amounts of information and highly informative!

Dear Friends, Since discovering your website, I have purchased four of your videos. As you can see, these videos mean a lot, as they teach me many things I did know, even if your videos are not as current as the programs I am currently using. May I suggest that you advertise in some of the Mac magazines. Good Work!

The Tutorial of DVD Studio Pro 101 offers more than I´ve been expecting.

About 1/3rd of the way through and I have already learnt many new features, shortcuts, ways of doing tasks differently from the way I knew already etc.etc Excellent. I am sure the next 2/3 will be as informative.

Has to be the best 'how to' package I have come across. Well designed, uncluttered interface with entertaining and very informative sections For once a program that actually shows why understanding sound is important in an intelligent and accessible way. Somebody has done their homework and understands how we learn

Excellent job

I really just checked this out, kinda because it was free. But it was still a cool little tutorial. I use both PC and Apple computers, so I have an idea of the similarities, and differences between the two. Yet, still this was fun and informative.

Hi Martin and co i have puchased several tutorials from MacProVideo. they are well put together and clearly presented, they are also easy to follow. the last tutorial i purchased was Logic 401 Mastering toolkit by Steve H. Great piece of learning. i still am not clear about the general workflow of mixing: what do you start with? EQ? compression? volume? pan? when you deal with EQ how do you make sure all frequencies are covered equally in a proportionate way? and by how much should all instrum...

To be honest, I got this video because reading the Logic manual seemed so daunting. Now, not only do I know a lot about recording in Logic, but I know where to look in the manual if I need something. This has been a very helpful tutorial for getting me the basic skills I need to record and mix in Logic.

There's a lot of material in the video training course and I haven't completed it yet, but so far most what I have watched are covering things that I already knew. I hope that the course will get more into how to set compressors and the other tools/plug-ins used for mastering. I did learn how to read some of the scopes and meters

This video tutorial was kind of hit and miss for me. I have only had my mac for three months, having always been a PC Windows user. I found certain segments of the video did not take into account updates to OS X made since this tutorial was made. Even though there was helpful knowledge to be had, some of the topics covered left me a little confused as to their relevance for me the new user. I was left with many unanswered questions like, "I used to do this in Windows, so how do I do it in OSX......

I watched the entire training without using the program. Now I intend to go back and use the tutorials side by side with Logic. Very good job on learning the ins and outs of the program. I didn't know about several of the features, but now I'm looking forward to putting the training to use. Nice job Martin.

I bought a bundle of 12 courses for Logic from MacProVideo.com. Downloaded them immediately and couldn't be happier so far. This course "Logic 101 Core Logic 8" was the first course that I watched and it really brought me up to speed quickly. I love the pace of the course. Martin Sitter is a great teacher. This course is great for a beginner like me or a pro who needs to brush up on some of the basics! I highly recommend this one!!!

How do you succeed each time to bring lesson of such high quality? I now a company where these lessons cost 5-6 times more and are not so well done. Now I bought all the things I need, I can tell you that it's very cheap for 100% quality. A 5+ rating isn't possible I presume?

Great tutorial. Very detailed information. There are lots of tips and tricks that will save me hours and hours of work. The tutor really understands how to teach things in way so that everybody understands everything. Top rating. Marco

The only thing better than these tutorials is Logic itself - which would be difficult to fully appreciate without them! Martin Sitter keeps these lessons as simple as possible, while at the same time providing us with the tools to take us as deep as we would like to go. I am grateful for Logic, this class, and Martin too. :) Click "Add to Cart"!

Very well done video that covers in very good detail everything you need to get started with Logic 8. I highly recommend this to anyone who is new to Logic 8 or even someone who needs some more in depth knowledge transfer. Well done!

I would recommend this video to anyone who is new to Logic 08 (Pro or Express). I just switched from Cubase 4 to Logic 08, and was totally lost. The tutorials are easy to follow, and extremely detailed. It was definitely worth the money! Great job!

I'm glad I bought this tutorial, very informative. Other than lots of Logic features, it covers introduction material of digital sound, ex. amplitude, frequency. This is very valuable information to some new guy like me. Anyway, worth every penny. And I like the videos are spitted into small parts, it's easy for me to come back and re-watch.

This could be the tutorial made just for me, in this moment. Very well done. two problems: it's done in Logic 7 and I work with Logic 8. Why not thinking to an update veersion? I Know there are TNT 1 & 2 wich deals a lot with environment but For such a wonderfull and complex chapter of Logic I gues it's important to have a methodic tutorial from the ground, explaining the total" architecture". Second point, I'm Italian, I speak a disceet english but some time it' hard to follow a very fast tal...

Very informative and filled with practical information. Also very easy to go back to and look up specific topics.

I thought the videos were fantastic. My only complaint is I can tell I will be watching all the videos on Logic 8 and Protools and I will want more.

This was the first tutorial from I purchased. On the strength of that I have since bought many, MANY more of them. Their standard is always exceptionally high and well presented. I turn to them often and heartily recommend them.

Excellent overview Have been using Logic for almost a year and still learned several new things from this series

I really recomend this tutorial, very good cant wait to buy the next one

Very good, helped with some theory. Recomend to any beginner like myself

I have never even seen this version of logic.

Excellent tutorial,worth every penny.

This is just great! I can´t wait until the NEDi is available so I can watch the tutorials by my iPhone.

Good intro to Logic 8! would've taken me days to work through the manual to get the same knowledge which was presented in only a few minutes...always best if one involves more senses, training goes quicker and there's more time to actually make music...BIG thumbs up!

Only got thru Chapter 1 so far. I found it clear, concise, and easy to follow. Looking forward to the rest.

I've never really had the patience to stick with tutorials. They sometimes bore me. I think the main difference with macProVideo, is the way you guys break each lesson down into short clips that are easy to go back to when you want to recall a specific topic. Bite Sized Info... I like that! As far as Logic 101? It took me through the basics, and showed me things I've overlooked in Logic. I enjoyed learning, and hope to learn more!

Once again I'm thrilled with the quality of your training programs. This instructor was excellent! I'm learning, learning, learning. I hope that you will have more of the standard "basic" courses for those of us who just need to get through the day with our computers.

I had already worked my way though making my first song using both analog (guitar/bass/vocal) and midi instruments and had figured out a lot of the features (comping, track automation etc.) but in doing so I could see how deep Logic is. I found a lot of tips in the video that would have probably taken me a long time to figure out (if ever at all) on my own. I found the video to be well laid out and Martin's narrative to be very straightforward and easy to follow. I believe many of the tip...

Found the tutorial quite useful but it did not deal with a few issues as clearly as I would have liked. E.G. Burning iPhotos to a disc is not covered and as that is what I believe to be a basic function I expected it to be covered. As a "non expert" I found the tutorial to be clear enough but I have found it necessary to replay some sections several times before I got the point.

This is an absolute MUST HAVE for anyone starting with logic. Starting from scratch this tutorial is the best way to learn to master the complexity of Logic. Should be included with any Logic package. I still open it as a reference when working on projects in order to remind how certain things are done. Best buy !

The environment was the most confusing thing to me in Logic but with this video opened up so many different creative possibilities that i would have taken a long time to learn this on my own. Thanks Macprovideo

This master class gave me extremely helpful insight information on what powerful software Logic 8 is. I have learned so much. Keep up that great work!

Having been very happy with the Final Cut 6 101 I am equally UNhappy with the Logic 101 product. Logic is a dreadful piece of interface design to begin with with millions of little buttons and menus all over the place in seemingly arbitary positions. Your tutorial does nothing to explain or simplify this interface and goes straight into fast talking jargon instead giving an basic overview first. The tutorial sounds like it was done by a programmer instead of a musician. At the end of t...

I was one of the many that tried to read the gigantic Logic manual. It took me 5 months before I said there must some other way to learn this app and Macprovideo's Logic 101: Core Logic 8 had been my answer. The tutorial cleared up so many things that took me only a few days to understand than months with the manual. Thanks Martin Sitter and Macprovideo bless you guys.

I am a long time user of Mac OSX but there is always more to learn. I found the tutorial to be pretty comprehensive and gave me some good clues on how to be more efficient in harnessing the many powers of OSX.

A good one lots of good information .. laid out well the explanations make sense and help a bunch

Really great tuition. Just like having a friend sitting next to you. It's taught me so much. Top job Martin.

The tutorial I purchased[Logic 101] is great. I also got one for Garage Band awhile ago that was really helpful. I`m probably going to keep buying your tutorial they are worth every penny.Thanks. Ralph DeMarco

Werry good lerarning about soundfixing

I Love your videos. There like having a video manuel to reference when I need an answer to a question. I recommend these videos to anyone who wants to learn. I'm a Pro Tools user who is going to switch to Logic. I'm tired of always having to upgrade and spend more money with Digidesign. Logic offers everything you need to create great sounding music. Remember bottom line is It don't mean a thing if it ain't got no swing.

The Logic 101 course was probably the best training I've ever taken on ANY topic. The flow was excellent and the topics built upon previously presented material. Each topic is very short and I found it hard to pull away and kept telling myself, "Just one more"! I will definitely be buying more in the Logic series! Excellent work guys!!!

I don't often write reviews but felt compelled to due to the quality of instruction with Logic 101. Following the tutorial and working in Logic simultaneously is proving to be the ideal way to absorb the materiial quickly and easily. I am only half way through Logic 101 and already placed an order for 5 additional tutorials.

Martin, I'm almost finished with this video and its the best info Ive seen on logic.I was quite intimidated with the program ( cause im kinda old school) but i feel much more at ease with recording with logic and you kept it simple.

I got a lot out of this video. Martin is a great instructor. He does love the word 'instantiate'! Couple of notes: There were a few created 'objects' that are seen in the video but have no history. The one that comes to mind is in the LAYERS section where Martin mentions his XIO Synth. It's just there... without previous mention. On the topic of layers... It would be nice to see some ideas of how to organize objects on layers in more detail. Also... more of a Logic issue, it's very hard ...

Very good tutorial. Recommended!

Hi - being a new member to the mac/logic community , this tutorial was really helpfull - I had to work on a new musical project and didn't have the time to read the software guide - so thanks to the macprovideo team for this tutorial - one suggestion : you should translate those lessons in spanish , french , ect ... if you want I could translate in french - a LOT of people who don't speak english fluently would be interested over here - Best regards from Paris - kamel

If you are starting out with Logic 8 and want to quickly learn how to get producing your tracks, then this is the way to go! Martin does a very good job showing you how logic 8 works along with other stuff. I highly recommend it!

Breaks a complex learning task into "bit-size" pieces that are both digestible and tasty! Never thought I could actually learn this stuff, but now it's totally within grasp.

I've only gotten through half of the training program, but so far, so good. It takes you through the basics methodically and is easy to follow, but I wished at some points that the trainor did not assume that the trainee already knows what is being talked about (for instance, I had trouble with what he meant about velocity; he didn't explain what it was exactly and just went on about velocity). For the most part, however, he takes his time to explain, which is really good for beginners to record...

as a new owner of LOGIC STUDIO i kinda knew what sounds i wanted to get outta my head and the logic 101 core logic 8 really helped me with a great foundation. One big reason is that it did keep it simple and didnt go into a bunch of stuff all at once and what i LOVED about it was each video was only a couple minutes long , so it was like learning if you had add

Very nicely done video, ideal for anyone entering into Logic for the first time, and people like myself who came from Logic 7. Martin is extremely enthusiastic which proves infectious and there were many "AHA-" moments in there. Great value and soooo much better than a telephone directory sized book.

105 series gave me new tools and skills to master logic's enviroment, i have all complete series from macprovideo and i strongly recommend it to all producers out there!!! All the best from brazil to macprovideo.com team, thank you all for the excelent work ! kkep on!

Includes lots of useful information. Not the ideal introduction to Logic though. I´d prefer an approach that would enable me to start an editing project straight away. Would also prefer a more consistent path rather than jumping from one function to another.

This is the best introduction to LOGIC ever ! A MUST for beginners ... experienced users will also learn precious tips (and get rid of bad habits). Finally! Learning LOGIC becomes fun....and fast.

I really enjoyed the video, although it was really weighted toward a type of music I'm not interested in. (This seems to be the industry standard though.) I keep waiting to find a video that explores recording and mixing music made with real instruments in a meaningful way.

I just finished this tutorial in a matter of days. I also took many notes along the way (mainly tips that would otherwise be lost if reading a text). I want to thank the author of this for balancing theory, application, and interesting dialogue to keep the tutorial entertaining and educational. I highly recommend this to any new Logic user as well as someone needing a refresher. Thank you Martin! P.S. What's wrong with Country? HAHA!

Great tutorial! I needed to sweeten a series of training videos (especially air conditioning noise) and my options were to read the manual (on my computer since it's only a PDF) or spend 4 hours listening to Martin . . . I wisely chose to buy the tutorial. It addressed my particular issue, and it made a huge difference in the final audio quality of the programs. It's good enough that I will watch it again -- now that I've taken Soundtrack out for a rigorous spin -- and learn more the s...

This is an excellent tutorial on Logic for both beginner and intermediate level users. I have seen several other tutorials and although I had already learned some of the concepts demonstrated in this tutorial from these other tutorials, these concepts were explained in greater depth and clarity in this tutorial. I highly recommend it. I will be purchasing the higher training level Logic tutorials that macProvideo.com has to offer based on my positive experience with this tutorial.

Excellent!!!!!! I just upgraded to L8 and having this training made the transition very easy. I thought the presenter was very easy to understand. Keep up the great work!

I upgraded (on an extreme level) from FL Studio to Logic Pro 8. I simply like creating music for my own pleasure and amusement, particularly classical. Logic Pro 8 seemed huge at first, after watching the tutorials, I realized that was still true, but also that it was also very easy to work with. And I put together a piece in an hour that sounded better than any previous tracks I made on I made on FL studio that would take me up to weeks. As far as what I got from the tutorials, I learnt m...

I think this is a very good way to learn about hidden and special features within logic and it would be great if you could translate this into different languages. Another thing is the handling. I would very much apprtiate if i could watch the videos on TV- and/or iPhone.

I completely agree with Micheil Reid's comment (Aug31,08). There is no mention of using STP with video! After looking through the content list of the tutorial I thought the sections would be related to video stuff but there seems to be an emphasis on music. Martin even calls the dialogue in a video clip, at one point , "vocals". It seems to me this tutorial is incomplete - also picked up by Micheil Reid. There is a few mentions of things that will be covered "later in the tutorial" and ...

Martin presents the information in a concise and logical fashion (no pun intended). But what really sets his tutorials apart are certain points of information which he calls attention to. I have found that taking note of these, which might easily be overlooked if just mentioned in passing, has helped me better understand the paradigm within which the creators of Logic architected the program. This has helped me make leaps of understanding that would have taken much more time had Martin not illus...

The tutorials are fantastic and speed up the learning curve. Logic is an incredibly powerful, deep program and Martin does a great job explaining and teaching. The extra engineering tips such as how to use a compressor are great for brushing up forgotten knowledge for those of us that have been out of the studio for too long!

Great way of learning! If you could implement more on editing a long concert import as a file and then how to easy divide it into clips.

As a beginner, the tutorial fit the purpose of what I needed it for. Occasionally some sections could have been slower and I feel that if I hadn't have had the knowledge of how to use Garageband I may have struggled with some of the more technical sections. However, the person who took the tutorial was very well spoken and entertaining and kept me interested 99.9 percent of the time. If I was to suggest something to better the program I would say to put in pause sections where the person watc...

Hi, i found it very useful but i think it needed to be more crearive.

I am extremely pleased with Logic 101. I switched from PC to Mac a while back and bought Logic Studio, but didn't really have the time to sit down with it and learn the basics. I have extensive experience from other sequencers, but Logic is vastly more complex than what I am used to. Martin Sitter's style is relaxed, cheerful and friendly. It was a pleasure to sit through all the lessons. I chose to view the entire course first, and then go back to specific videos when I encountered issues in...

Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! I thought I knew the basic Logic interface pretty well, but Martin definitely schooled me with the video.

It was very helpful. The only thing I would suggest would be a little more on importing movies with chapter markers and creating a menu with them.

Absolutely brilliant video training. Thoroughly impressed with content delivery, presentation and structure. Congratulations to all at MacProVideo.com

I'm fairly technically-savvy, so when I first found out about these tutorials in my music technology class, I didn't think I needed them. I've been using Logic 8 for about a month and half, and was getting along OK in Logic. Then, I ran into problems figuring out how to beat-map, and quantize audio. Yes, Logic comes with a gigantic manual and online help, but honestly, I didn't find it terribly helpful because it just gives definitions of what the concepts are and does not really show you how...

This isn't the first time i have purchased a tutorial video from these guys (i have logic pro training too). Again, very clear and easy to follow short videos that make learning the whole program easy and interesting. Thanks again!!

Great Stuff! If You need to know something You dont...You will definetelly find it in macProVideo!

I recently made the switch from PC to Mac and had to give up Acid and Sound Forge for Logic. I stared at the arrange window for days trying to figure out what on earth I was looking at. So I got this tutorial and to tell you the truth, I haven't even finished it yet. After the first few tutorials I could do things I didn't even think possible with my old PC. I am so excited to see how much more I can learn about this great software. The tutorial is ridiculously easy to learn from. It i...

It's a very good tutorial. Easy to learn what seems so difficult at the first sight. For me very good, because I need DVDs in different languages with subtitles. I appreciate listen to a voice, not the need to read thick books. Good didactic structure, pleasant voice. Lookin' forward to buy Motion tutorial next year The Final Cut Pro Tutorials have the same quality. I'm glad to have found the M.P.V. Site. Also the support is very sweet. Have the feeling to be in a good school. Best regards. K...

Your product is sold at a very fair and affordable price. The content is excellent, i.e. does indeed offer very good instruction. Best of all the interface and program work flawlessly. Best regards, Lou

This was the first Logic tutorial I viewed, and as I had no previous experience of working with audio software and hardware it was a real eye-opener for me. It gave me a good overview of Logic's possibilities, and every time I've dipped into it again for more detail (and I'm still doing that to refresh) I've been rewarded. I can absolutely recommend this tutorial.

Excellent as usual! I have only recently started to use Logic Pro 8 and this video has been extremely useful. I highly recommend it and am going to start Logic 201 shortly. It is a super lexicon to have when working with Logic. I'm trying something out and it doesn't seem to work right, so I'm off to the tutorial and usually I find a chapter that explains it all to me in a simple way for a simple mind! Keep up the great work Martin

I would like to congratulate Mr. Sitter for an excellent video tutorial in keeping with the level of an excellent teaching guide. I tried out this tutorial based primarily after using and adapting the Soundtrack Pro 2 book in the Apple Pro Training Series for the classroom, in hopes that it too would be beneficial, and it is. Thanks for making an excellent tutorial as well as authoring the book in the pro series. Very nice!

I'm not very far in to the course, but it all seems to be very well designed and simple to follow through. Would love you guys to do one on Mainstage!

Very good! Especially since Martin Sitter does not only explain the program - but also has lots of interesting sidenotes about Electronic music, audio data in general and more. The only thing that is not being explained thoroughly is the usage of STP for video dubbing, which is not relevant for me but might be for Final Cut Pro-Users.

i will be buying more . its quick an easy thank you guy i am happy with this product

I was very pleased with this training, which I completed last evening. I ran the course on a Dual 1.8 Power PC G5 with 4GB RAM and an ATI X800 XT Graphics card powering a 23 in. Cinema Display. (OS X 10.4.11) First, the video and sound quality throughout the course was excellent. The NED interface was very intuitive and made navigation playing, pausing and re-playing lessons easy. In addition to the more formal content, I was pleased with the many helpful tips and short cuts that seem...

(Well laid out) tutorials seem to be the way for me to get hands-on experience with software tools; though it still takes time I am definitely getting there now!

loved it!! There are many ways to do things in final cut. I would love to see more without hotkeys. Thanks. The video is awesome!

I love the detail and the fact that it's broken into many short duration bits so one can review just what one needs to. You need to produce one on using Mix features, Editing, working with and Locking to Video. Way too much time goes by for additional tutorials on a subject to come out. In the words of Oliver Twist, "Please, sir, I want some more."

The tutorial has 2 great pros: a) it helps don't wasting time in reading the big Logic user manual; b) it shows in a very friendly and easy way not only how to do anything in Logic but also what's behind (i.e. the reason why you need to use any feature of the program). It would be interesting to watch the tutorial even without having bought Logic! For your information, I decided finally to buy Logic after wachting those free video tutorials n your web site.

Great tutorial! Even though I get around OSX well, and have for a few years, this was well worth the time to refresh my memory on a number of things, and to show me various little tricks and features that I hadn't realized were there.

i bought "the book" for logic pro and read it hard i bought and streamed "this excellent vid" by martin and learned even more i passed the level 1 certification test today easily 'nuff said

Wonderful

Hi,I found the videos to be very informative and educational. They are presented in a professional manner. I have learnt a great deal in the first 10 minutes in the easy-to-understand and 'plain english' description. Thank you Johnmac

I am not a big fan of reading manuals. That's why I was thrilled about the Core Logic 8 video workshop. Especially, for such a complex software it is great to have a step by step tutorial at hand and see and hear how things work in Logic 8. The author of this workshop did an outstanding job. His explanations are simple to understand, yet complex enough not to be boring. He has got a clear voice and provides lots and lots of useful tips. The workshop is devided in many short chapters with a lo...

Once again MacProVideo has done an outstanding job. This is one of the two best videos I have gotten for learning Logic 8, and if you are a beginner with Logic 8, you should definitely get this video. One of the best parts is that it first focuses on how sound waves work and are read by digital recording software. However, the video does a superb job of explaining the key parts of Logic. Additionally, the NED software is so user-friendly and so clean in presenting the videos. And, by the wa...

A fantastic edukeytion with this download to understand DVD Studio pro

Excellent program. As a new user - I didn't have any idea where to start. I'm pretty sure it will take at least five more viewings and practice to begin to gain a little fluidity with the program. But without this video course, well, Logic's a mighty deep program that would have remained a mystery.

Awesome

I found this tutorial very good. I think that the level is well pitched towards the beginner. I like the style of the presentation. I will be investing in the next level up once I have had a change to digest content of this tutorial.

For the price, this stuff is superb. I have gained so much from these videos. I thought about saying they are a bit slow and padded out a tiny bit, but pretend I didn't because they are not at all... I'm going through all my videos for a third time now so it all sinks in. Keep it up guys and I'll keep buying.

Excellent tutorial! I'll be purchasing more in the series in the near future.

thank you , I' ve really appreciated this tutorial . I use mac since a few years now , just doing couple of easy things , but there were lots of things i didn't know and understand better what i'm doing and where. maybe a couple of thing could have been added , like "sos disk " with disk utility... also stuff about Qmaster, Qadministrator , automator (i don't understand what it is for ...), how to compress file ,and most of all , how to work with multiple mac togheter maybe in a next tuto ?...

Well I've finally finished (long story - dead processor, whooping cough, laziness etc.) and have to say it's great. It's so much easier to follow than reading a (nearly 1,000 page) manual. I will try to read the manual but not right now. Martin does a great job. Mind you, I cheated by getting a 2nd monitor so I could have the tutorial running on one screen while I ran Logic in the other. I've got a bunch of the other tutorials and can't wait to get to them (might make some music first though). ...

This is a really good tutorial. This is my first NED tutorial and I really like them. I like that they reside on my hard drive instead of having to access the web. That way you can learn while you're traveling - like a book. Anyway great job!

I found Logic 101 tutorial very useful and handy. It gave full overview of basic Logic features. MUST HAVE!

This has been the best tutorial I've ever seen. Martin Sitter is a very talented teacher.. The method of building a song form a to z is the best way to get to know a program and keep the student pretty interested. U must keep this method...

Very good to pick up for a novice like me.The most important thing about this tutorial, after watching it you can find your way in the "scary" environment. Some parts could be better with a more in depht approach.

Pretty good. I knew most of the stuff but there were a few things that were new to me.

The Logic 7 tutorials are easily as good in Logic 8. Making a Proxy Movie is a very useful skill. I could make a small movie of my hands playing a difficult Guitar solo and one of my students could play it back on any Mac or PC. that has the FREE Quick-Time Player. Some people have a close friend who has a degree and they don't mind talking shop on their day off. The rest of us have macProVideo.

This is better than the Ableton courses you have online because it shows you how to make a tune from a-z rather than point out all the features of the program alone.

Mastering Your Mac taught me things I should have known, since I have been working on a Mac for years. Perfect for the beginner and the seasoned user. Thanks

I purchased Logic 8 a few months ago after using Garage Band for several months and also Cubase LE for just recording needs. I wanted to take my knowledge of Logic 8 to the next level and the Logic 101 video exceeded my expectations. I really liked the layout of the material and found everything really easy to follow. Also was really liked seeing a song getting built throughout course and use of the various functionality in the lessons added to the song. Great job Martin!

Really good tutorial for all the people starting working with Logic. Perhaps the author could have spent a bit more time on the song arrangement aspects in Logic. I hope a futur macprovideo tutorial will cover this subject in more details. Best Regards. Eric

really 5 stars, one of the best tutorial ever seen. Obviously italian version for me would be better. Anyway it's appreciated that tutorial is slowly spoken for better understanding. regards

I have not seen the whole video. I would like to congratulate Martin Sitter on the wonderful work. The tutorial video are clear, objective and easy to understand. I would just like to see more about how the DSP inside Logic works. All the best

I have almost all your logic tutorials and they are great. My background is not using computers to record and such so when I first got into it it was a challenge but this particular one logic core 8 has been great. One comment how come you never used external midi in the video? You also didn't talk about bouncing external midi just something to keep in mind,Thank You for a great product.TT

Logic is not easy if you've not used a recording application before. I was pretty clueless when I first sat down with Logic Express, even with over 35 years of experience as a musician -- 23 of them as a gigging and recording professional --, two engineering degrees with 20 years of software development experience, and prior experience (some time ago) with MIDI recording on my old Mac. For all the testimonials I read regarding how "easy" it is to get started with Logic Express, I found the s...

Very informative and useful. I could easily follow along with what was happening and quickly do it myself. I think anyone who has a mac with osx, sorry os10, would gain from watching this one.

Despite the missing tutorial on Video ..the content so far is good, with plenty of info to dwell upon. The only issue I have so far is the fact that you refer to FCP only and not IMovie or FC Exp. However you do a good job. Geoff

So far, I've been enjoying the video. My only criticism is that some of it moves kind of fast. And what I would describe as the "asides" ("while we're at it, let me show you how to open the ________ from the keyboard shortcut") can be a bit distracting. I'm pretty much a total novice with this stuff and decided to plunge in and try to learn Logic rather than a simpler program like Garage Band. So I could probably be considered a remedial student as far as this stuff goes.

I have learnt more in two days with the tutorials than a month of books and manuals. I have Logic running with the tutorial and skip between the two. I am gradually finding a intuitive method of working and the tutorial's are informative and fun, yes actually fun.

So far so goood. Important education!! Steeve

May be some informations about "terminal".... A little bit too "simple" but very interesting for beginners. It's not "mastering" your Mac but rather "using" your Mac. Thks at All. Pierre HEES

Alright, I can't keep my thoughts closed up any more. This tutorial is magnificent - stupendous - exciting - uncontrolable - creativity - bouncing - from - here - to - the - next - galaxies. I needed to learn Logic and this tutorial put me on the path of enlightenment. Everything to satisfy my learning desire was placed on this tutorial. This is the best tutorial that i have ever come across, period.

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I learned a lot in a short amount of time and thought it was well taught. My only advice would be to spend some time on the pre-made backgrounds (apple backgrounds). I am trying to use these after the tutorial and don't have the foggiest idea of how they work.

I have to say I'm absolutely over the moon with this tutorial. I'd heard good things but... WOW. Not only is the information accurate, really easy to follow, very very useful, etc, but the videos are also incredibly engaging. Martin has a way of making me WANT to watch the videos again and again, they're really engrossing! Highly, highly, highly recommended stuff and an absolute steal at the price.

This is great stuff. I'd purchased Logic Pro 8 months ago, and was hoping that it would be easy to use. I hadn't had much spare time to focus on trying to learn how to use it (and the 1,000-page manual was incredibly daunting), but I did actually work out how to lay down a rhythm guitar track, with much trial and error. I searched locally for any courses that might be available to get to know the software better, but I currently live in a small city in the south of Sweden, and there's not...

This is a very comprehensive tutorial. anyone just starting with Logic will find it extremely helpful. I learned a great deal from watching this video. Being vision impaired and seeing everything up close instead of sitting in a large group in a classroom means it's easier to grasp the concepts being taught. I can learn at my own pace and sop to review things whenever i want. Great stuff!

Dear Martin, The tutorials are very educational and informative. I teach a Logic Pro 8 course at Columbia College Chicago. My students and myself enjoy your sense of humor you display in your tutorials. It really confirms that you had fun producing the tutorials. I use the tutorials as part of my instructional procedure. The tutorials work better for my class versus the book. I explained to my class that you wrote the Logic Pro 7 training series for Apple. I will be purchasing more tu...

I have all of the Logic 7 tutorials and I must say they are extremely helpful. Coming from Garageband into a Pro app is somewhat intimidating but with these tutorials it make the transition a lot smoother.

This started out really great. It was definitely worth the $45 to gain knowledge on something I had NO IDEA how to use. Only complaint is towards the end it started assuming the viewer already had knowledge in certain areas. The 'automating the mix' section was completely lost on me. Also, it just needs a chapter explaining how to use the EQ in more detail. I have never used an EQ of this style before and it was not explained how the funny digital graph interface works.

I have only completed up to lesson 40 & of course,will have to review as I go along. The teacher is fine except 1)he sometimes uses terms too quickly or terms that he expects the student to know without explanation(amplitude for one.)I have to stop the lesson and replay until Ican figure out the word he used.(He has a slight accent)or go to a glossary or dictionary to get the meaning of the new term. I would also not take so much time in the beginning on sound theory.I am going to use...

A great foundation to the program with some additional techniques and tips that make you feel at ease breaking away from the templates and becoming more creative with the authoring process.

I tough Soundtrack Pro 101 was a very good tutorial. I'm vision impaired and found the high definition videos very useful as it makes it easy to see what's going on! My only complaint is that thee was pretty mush nothing said abut syncing audio and video clips. However if I'd not got this video I would have had great difficulty in figuring out how to use it. Logic Pro seems more intuitive to me. Thanks for the sterling effort you put into your videos. The time and patience that goes into them is...

Great tutorial. Takes you through all you need to know to get you up and running with Logic Pro. Very thorough and systematic. Almost like having your own personal teacher on call 24/7. Note on N.E.D. 2.0: This program is still kinda buggy, most noteably it displays the "Black Hole Syndrome", where the video just disappears, and you're left with audio only. Downgrading to N.E.D. 1 solved the problem.

I wish I had discovered macprovideo.com a year ago! This video is light years away from a dry, techie training manual. The pace is just right, the explanations super clear and the hints and tips invaluable. I plan to watch all the Logic videos and am very excited about how they will open up doors to me - fabulous, thank you!

Excellent video tutorials! They've done it again!

Having now spent some time with Logic, I have found the tutorials to be invaluable. The clear instructions take you step by step through all the basics of recording, and go on to more advanced editing etc. A "must have" for any first time Logic owner.

everyone likes different things for different reasons... some of this I found useful, but some too slow, which I found to be a bit frustrating at times... in this type of medium, please remember that I DO have access to a re-wind button, so feel free to STUFF each segment full of useful info...! I can always go back if I missed something... I need to know where stuff is in the program, not a basics tutorial on DAWS in general.. for what I mean, please look again at the Ableton Live vids.. I've...

This tutorial was awesome and I mean that. Although I am/was a Protools/Dig Performer guy, there is a ton of stuff in Logic and the tutorial walks you thru step by step. It's great and i am looking forward to picking up a few more once I get a grip on the basics. Good job man Jeff

I found Logic 101 to be an excellent introduction to Logic Pro. Martin Sitter is great. Very entertaining and does a wonderful job of explaining a complex program. I look forward to more tutorials by Martin Sitter.

This was not the first one I purchased from MacProVideo. I actually bought bunch more advanced topics first thinking that I could figure out the rest of LP8, then I've realized that there are some basic stuff that I didn't know about. I now feel I got down how to make the LP8 production workflow as how it was meant to be. You might think you know LP8, but you could have been wasting a lot of time re-inventing your own ill-defined workflow. We musicians all know that we need to get the basics dow...

Really good, and very helpful tutorial. I will be referencing this for ages. Looking forward to getting stuck into 201 and 303 now. And loved Martin's Dune reference; 'plans within plans'! Heheh!

This video is excellent, I would recommend it to any who is new to logic it runs through every facility there is, I would say this is a short cut to learning Logic, The way it is presented is very good and very easy to understand,Once i have finished with Logic pro 8 101 i will be investing in another mac pro video,I would say you could learn everything from this tutorials without leaving your home.

This is a must buy. Martin's style is potent yet very well-paced.Those that are paying attention will detect a humour and love of music akin to Steve H's too.Are they cousins ? haha.Great stuff.

Good. Very clear english... I'm french....

Well done ,what it covers it covers well. More subjects could be covered to aid novices in MAC like myself.

THE TUTORIAL IS GREAT INFORMATIVE ESPECIAL ABOUT THE AMPLITUDE SECTION AND FREQUENCIES

Excellent video for first-time users like myself. Learning the basics is key and this video is on point. (Big up to Martin!) I highly recommend this tutorial to any one starting out making music on Logic Pro!

Good information. Presentation too cutesy. Scripted questions are annoying. Single narrator would be fine. Either voice, man or woman great. Just not back and forth banter. I'm the student, not them. Sincerely Robert LeBoeuf

Great video. As soon as I am able to apply what I've learned from this one, I'll be getting some of the other Logic videos so I can dive deeper into the program.

The interfase is clear and the so the explanations. this has all the contents of a good printed manual but with the advantages of not having to read 500 pages (in 3 weeks you can learn what would take 4 months). just two things I dont like so much: 1.doing the dowload is a bit complicated. 2. the song used for the tutorial is really a demo song, I mean, I would have prefered something more real and rock oriented.

The following are my comment: 1) The ending of this training seems abrupt. The last topic is "Analyzing Audio clip" and it has ended just that. There is no conclusion to the training, no information on conforming the audio back to FCP etc. Felt unhappy with the way the training has ended. 2) Soundtrack Pro, as mentioned in the video too, is specifically designed for editing and enhancing the audio component of a video clip. Yet more than half of this video focuses on creating music with A...

I got a lot of value out of this and will be using it as a reference in the future

I would like to apologise for the delay in providing you with any kind of feedback. I have a number of your tutorials based mainly round Logic and must say how impressed I am with the quality of the information and presentation. Of course, there will always be subjects which we feel could be covered in more depth, but that is just a personal thing and your overall coverage is outstanding. I must say that Steve Horelick is very impressive with his natural approach and attention to detail even ...

At last some "simple" and easy understanding explanation of how Logic's Invironment works. I like the voice of the speaker. Not to fast or to slow, very clear.

It is exactly what I have been looking for, and it goes even further: thanks for the sound explanations (wave forms, frequencies, etc.) Even for a non native speaker (I'm French) it's a pleasure to follow this training course. If I had to find something to improve, I would suggest to get rid of the title page at every beginning of a chapter, it's making the vidéo longer when you play it continuously. Thanks !

I'm devouring MacProVideo tutorials at a rate of knots so look out you producers out there! The latest one I'm working my way through is the excelent Logic Pro 8 101 by Martin Sitter. Firstly, I have to admit, I just like the way these tutorials work. I tried working my way through the Logic manuals, believe me I tried! The problem for me was it felt like homework and I felt alone. I like working with people and exploring my creativity alongside someone else's creativity. Making music just is...

Training videos are very good, easy to understand, friendly, short lessons. Glad I purchased it, better than I expected. One thing I have noticed, I have a Mac OSX 10.5.4 and a couple of the things described and illustrated on the video do not respond the same way on my Mac. One is the spotlight window, the window you demonstrate on your Mac when you hit "option+apple+spacebar" has more features than what comes up on my Mac. There are a couple other things that do not respond the same way ...

I'm a very visual/hands on person. I absorb information much better in an interactive platform. So far Mac Pro Video has been exactly what the doctor ordered in helping me understand much more about the program than even the users manual. Things I didn't know were accessable to me to get a better understanding and use of the editing process in the program. I've had the software for a short time and have studied about 25 or so of the lessons and I'm becoming much more confident using the program ...

I've been a musician for around 15 years and have done a lot of recording. I bought Logic because I was very impressed with recordings I had been hearing that were done fully in Logic so I decided not to waste any more money on studio time and record myself. This is a fantastic tutorial. It got me past the basics and into recording almost immediately. It would have taken me slow months to figure out things I learned in half an hour. Great price! Well worth it. I docked it a star simply because I...

Great video. This one was really helpfull for coming more to grasps with Logic as a whole. The environment is a part of Logic i never would have gone into had it not been for this video. Now id like a follow-up video.... I still feel there are ground to be covered in handeling the enviroment like a pro. For example id like some more info on how to use a MIDI part to export to my external hardvare synth, and then import the sounds from this synth into Logic....

Core Logic 8 was very helpful. I was able to hit the ground running after upgrading from Logic 7. I would recommend this tutorial to anyone new to Logic 8.

This is the best tuturial ever Ive learned so much in two days. I took an audio engineering class at my local community college and your tuturial has enlighten me more about sound and daw system. I love you guys. I will be purchasing a new bundle in two days dealing with the environents,sound, rnb mixing and plugins, consider me a lifetime costomer.

These are amazing well thought out tutorials. Very easy to understand. Its hard to pull myself away from them because they are just as absorbing to study as watching a really good movie or reading a great book!

I Thought the video was a very helpful way for me to move over to a Mac from Windows. Certainly a true value to the user community

Almost finishing this one. Quality wise it is a great product, my logic pro learning curve changed from hard (reading the manuals) to really easy. Technically wise it is a great product too but i'll say a 4.5 out of 5 because the screen on the N.E.D is a little to small. Also, when a music track is playing and the instructor talks at the same time it is kinda strange. I truly believe this is the future for educational purposes, videos are replacing books. I recommend this product to anyone who w...

Unbelievable! Very impressed. Can't wait to start on the other videos! I very rarely write reviews but felt I had to for this.

Excellent learning tool for me ...a newbie to computers. The tutorials are clear and concise with pertinent information. I like the fact that they are very short in duration. I had some difficulty viewing my lessons at first. Evan (in Support) was most helpful in getting me on track. Evan was patient and unbelievably quick in getting back to me with suggestions to get me going. All in all...this is an outstanding program and I would recommend it to anyone new to MAC. The price is just ...

The training is detailed and concise. I have not finished the training at this point because I am a beginner. I take each section and then put to practice before continuing. The structure of the program allows one to go at his or her own pace. Great Product!!!

Hello, This was a great tutorial for Soudtrack Pro. It gave me a good understanding of what Soundtrack Pro is capable of. However, when Martin mentioned this tutorial in his Logic 8 101 video, I assumed that it would be more about using STP as a utility for Logic. Part 2 of the tutorial was most relevant for me because I wanted to learn how to clean up my audio files. All in all, this was a good tutorial, thanks.

great tutorial,very simple,clear but lessons a little bit short.

Excelent. I enjoy it very mach.

This was a nice one. Very helpful and understandable. If I missed something it was some more information about Appleloops. If it is possible to save edited/customised loops, and som troubleshooting on saving your own loops. I still cant do it. Yet, this video gave me just what it promised. a basic ounderstanding of Logic Pro. thanx.

Logic Pro 8 101 is bursting at the seams with all kinds of foundational information that I didn't expect when I bought it. It's not simply an overview of Logic—it covers tons of other things that everyone who records sound needs to know. It really filled a lot of the holes I had in my understanding of basic sound and song construction, plus the video is split up into well titled sections that make going back and finding anything in the tutorial a total breeze.

Doing the short vidieos allows one to absorb the material very quickly and has improved my mac skills. thanks

It is definately good! It's brought me a lot farther along than I woud have been without it! However, putting a section about the notation part of Logic would make it even better!

Hi Martin. All the tutorial are eccellent; I'd like suggest only, for technical understanding, much more subtitles, also in english, with option to activate them or not. Thiss should be very useful for all people that don't understand well english. But the tutorials are great.

Love it! Love them! I'll certainly be picking up others once I've gone through this one. I would like to see the download in standard Quicktime format. Other than that, excellent job.

I have purchased three books from you, Garage Band,Switchers Guide,and Mac OS 101 I like them very much. They are very informative, and it's much better not having to read everything, I hope to get a couple more in the future. Yours sincerely, Reginald Davies.

A must! With this you will get an overview of Logic. I like the fact that I can often refer to it in the middle of projects. Of all the Logic tutorials, this one is among my 3 best with 201 and 202 because you will use this for sure.

very easy way to learn! i found going back on the videos and watching them over and over a great way to learn. A week on from downloading the 101 and im now ready to download more!

The tutorial itself has been made very professional and covers all the fields of interest though the procedure from purchase to download, opening and playing needs some revision if you want to sell Tutorials worldwide. Due to the timelag with Europa it´s a hassel to send e-mail-enquirys about problems of rendering.

It has been helpful but since I don,t have Leopard some of the instructions cannot be applied with the model I own. I would like more specific help such as " click here" or "press such and such" Perhas it is because I,m still a novice and haven,t learned all tthe technical language.

Wow! This course is really that good.The only problem I have with it is, that I will now hi expectations of any other training material I use in the future.

Great.

Even if one is familiar with the Mac. platform, the hidden intricacies are worth it. Thanx again guys for another job well done R

Very useful introduction to logic

Great Video, I thought it was about using the existing templates but i was wrong, Oh well I learned a great deal of menu creation and how to assemble a menu from litteraly a blank page in photo shop.. Amazing. My room mate bought me a tutorial in the form of a book and I still have not been able to get thru it. This Has helped me a great deal. Thanks..

Nice tutorial for switchers like me it was helpful. I would like to see some tips and tricks to optimize my macbook's work flow. I enjoy this webpage. Good job macprovideo!

Very good. A lot of information which helps improve the method of work. Very please.

I'm not all the way through the tutorial but what I have viewed has been very helpful. As a professional I needed to get up to speed quickly on the basic operation of Logic Pro which the Logic 101 DVD more than covers. Its a must have for all beginners and all the professionals cross grading from you now what to Logic.

The tutorials are very good. I get a fast overview how the program works and then I can go deeper and lern moore. Nice! The pling-e-ling song in the start of a part in 101 Mastering DVD Studio Pro are a bit frustrating. Best Regards Kurt

Very Clear Tutorial, very good products (and this is just the beginning!) Thank You.

c'est bien, mais il manque encore des éléments. pourquoi il n y pas de tutorial en français?

So far, I learned way more than I expected. The tutorials are great.

Very practical and useful. The topics are well explained and it shows a lot of tips that will things easier!

I'm about half way through the course material and am satisfied so far. Boy, there is a lot to learn for a novice and I may have to go back and view them again and again to get more comfortable with some of these concepts. I look forward to learning some of the rudiments of recording guitar tracks and learning how to do takes and basic edits and expect I'll learn more about that in my remaining sessions. Best regards, Jared

Folks, you're awesome! Brilliant Job! Extra cheers to Martin! Keep up the great work…!

I have spent a lot of money in books and videos on cd for Logic and I was always disappointed with the look and feel of the materials and with the relevance. These macPro videos have a superior production quality to anything else I have seen and I can not put in to words how great these Logic courses are. You all have really done a great job and your site will be my first stop from now on when searching for learning materials.

This is a GREAT set of tutorials. Clear, well organized, concise. I had to deliver a short DVD to a client and needed to get up to speed in a very short timeframe. Actually went through the tutorial as I was also applying the lessons to the project. The tutorials got me up to speed quickly and I was able to meet my deadlines and budget!

The way N.E.D. works...awesome. I'm new to this so at the moment I don't have any comments, maybe in the future. I can't believe that I didn't discover it sooner. Keep up the good work ;-)

I think your tutorial is great as it showed me a lot of usable shortcuts to save me time on learning the functions of the program and more time playing and capturing my music. It greatly reduced the frustration of trying to learn the program through the operator's manual and is easily accessible when I need to review a specific function. I would definitely recommended this product as it systematically takes you to a competent level in a very short period.

Fantastic! This tutorial has really opened up the program to me in a way that I could never have achieved with just the manual. It's been truly invaluable, like having a private Logic tutor!

GREAT!

Well you tought me all i needed, i gained lots of time; it all went smoothly, so i'm a happy customer.

Hello, I work everyday with Logic 8 but I bought this video to improve myself. I must say that I was surprised to still learn a lot of new things whereas I thought of mastering logic. Great job and great video as well for the beginners as for the experts. Thanks a lot ! Cheers, Digital Network

I found this to be worth every penny. And I find myself using it now more like a video manual. When I first purchased this tutorial it had a different name and it was very deceiving "Mastering Logic 8" but it was more an over view because it did not go as in-depth as I felt it could on alot of things that sets Logic 8 apart for other DAWs. For instance, the Logic Environment, Plugins with in the version 8 and mastering with Logic 8. Now I would think that the rebuttal to my statement would b...

Good, expecially if are novice with Mac :)

I already spent so much money on different tutorial about Final Cut in the US I was so tired watching over and over and I still don't get it... than I forgot about you guys guess what your tutorial are so excellent I just go and find what I'm looking for right away no need to waste time by guessing... GOOD WORK GUYS Excellent

A good tutorial if you are starting with Mac and even if you have a certain level to remember how a Mac works :-) I hope there will be more tutorial talking about Mail, Safari, Ichat and I tunes,.. that could be cool Martin! And you could add how to put an icon on a file into the desktop to personnalize your mac.. But this tutorial is really cool and you are very understandable (I am French..) so thanks man!

Very nice tutorial. If you want to have a good overview of logic and understand a bit more the different fonctions go for it! The only thing I can say is that it would have been nice if Martin could have spent a bit more time about editing in logic. However it's a nice one to start!

DVD Studio Pro 101 has cut my learning curve in half. I love it. Thank You,MacProVideo.com

I found the tutorial to be very helpful. I do think that there could be more input around a systematic approach around setting up the environment for third party multi-timbrel plugins (BFD/PHILHARMONIC etc.). Regardless, I will continue to use your tutorials to push me forward. They are very well done!

its great. answered a lot of questions can down load right off the site:> will be back for more!

The information supplied was really well explained, I am looking for fairly comprehensive indepth explanations, so I may Build specific objects for my studio example tascams DM 24 digital mixer complete with all associated functions. some of the Objects explained were not included. 1) Meta events 2)Cable switchers 3)how to create Faders as objects 4)Pan pots how to create them as objects 5)transformers and how to apply them in depth 6)Macros 7)Rewire functions and how to assi...

I was not thrilled with the order in which topics were discussed on this tutorial. Also, there could have been a bit more time or detail taken with the audio recording and set-up segments. The MIDI segments could also have been more detailed. I generally don't think enough consideration was taken for absolutely "first time" users of Logic or any type of digital recording set up; much is assumed. What is there is presented clearly, accurately, and for the most part effectively. I would not h...

Hello, I'm happy with my purchase. The price is good and the player works well. Something that most DVD tutorials could probably improve on is the subject detail of their indexes. As with all manuals, the quality of the index has direct bearing on how effectively the relevant information can be located. DVD tutorials do tend to require immersion in the whole package to learn details not necessarily apparent from the index.

Without this tutorial, I would not have been able to grasp the concept of the environment at all. This would have been a serious setback for my switch fro ProTools to Logic. Thanks, Martin!!!

awesome tutorials, love the face that all are downloadable, very user friendly

Very good tutorials and great video quality. I would have liked something about Notation in Logic though!

I wouldn't waste time writing this if I weren't actually thankful for this terrififc work. The price to benefit ratio is enourmously in the favor of the buyer. I'll get more value out of Logic pro now than I ever would have otherwise. That's the point! Worth every penny.

Martin, I am new to video editing and was hopping for something a litle more stepwise and simpler. Having downloadable examples would be useful. Chunk size of each lesson is short. Regards, Michael Canfield

this tutorial contained good information but I felt that its focus on the details of building individual voicings slighted the topics of most importance to me. I would have preferred a focus on sequencing, building up beats in different song sections, saving sectioned beats out to midi, stuff like that. That material was present, but I had to skip all the way to the end to get to it.. other than that the material was accurate and solid; I just personally would have preferred a focus more on the ...

I really enjoyed watching this tutorial. Simple steps take you deep into the workflow and show 100% useful tips to enhance your working experience. Continue the way you did this!

Great videos! I like the fact that each segment is short and well categorised in the menu. Would really appreciate the cd/dvd burning function for pc. Also - I get a message when starting up on pc that a file hasn't downloaded fully when they all have! I also get an error message as the NED tries to auto update. Otherwise Brilliant!

very inspiring & instructional

VERY HELPFUL,MADE THINGS VERY EASY

Complex application. Instruction nicely done. Wish there were a different piece of instructional music to listen to over and over again. Thanks, RWD

Really good, friendly, clear and concise teaching modules. I would never have found a fraction of the information in the Logic8 programme without these tutorials to get started, since I found that the screen interface is initially overwhelming, compared to Garageband. I will be looking to get the more advanced tutorial set soon. Control Surfaces I have a Studiologic VMK 176 controller keyboard and find it difficult to understand how to programme the controller within Logic8, so that I can u...

Loved the tutorial, its fantastic value, explains everything from very basic understanding of Logic, to an in depth look at features and what they do for you. Woth every penny, and a must have if you want to get the most out of your software

Great but it is not a basic tutorial to know how to in Logic with Midi, hope Martin with all his talent will proceed in a a tutorial LOGIC 100 step by step running GM in Logic Sometime the simple task of connecting everything together it is a Monster for a beginner, really nice tutorial not basic enough to call it 101

You guys did a great job! Very easy to follow. That's Logic in my Ear!!!

this is the way to go. don't even bother with that 1030 page manual that comes with logic 8. you just pick up so many tips that make learning logic a pleasure. just can't express in words how vital it is to have this tuition. if you have any logic then logic 101 is a must.

Really excellent! This tutorial untangles the mysteries of DVD Studio Pro. It was very clear and concise, highly recommended.

Very help full. Makes Logic a lot easier to understand. Would have liked to see more info on mixing. (Panning instruments) and working with acoustic instruments, rather than electronica. Also would have like to see more on transfering projects from one DAW to Another.

very informative cleared up some of my problems

VERY WELL THANKS YOU

Have only gotten a short ways into it and am loving it. Martin Sitter is an engaging instructor, and the lessons are clear and detailed. Lack of time is the only reason I'm not farther along. Very happy that I made this purchase!

I was recommended MPV.com by a colleague who is in the music business and uses a variety of instruments and software to achieve his sound. There was no doubt in his mind that this was the place to start. He was right. If you are looking at Logic Pro 8 and need something to get you up and running - this is it, don't bother going anywhere else.

Hello Friends, Just for the record, I have enjoyed the first third of your tutorial training Final Cut 5 102. Thanks Chris

A great introduction to Soundtrack Pro. Especially enjoyed the Noise Reduction/Frequency sections.

These are the best I have found. The instruction, layout, and program is just very well done and very easy to "get into". I also had a very slight technical problem which they answered correctly within an hour or two. I am glad you guys are here.

Excellent introduction, not just to Logic, but to Digital Audio in general. Slightly frustrating to begin with, if you are familiar with how Audio works, but the sections on the Logic tools and the ideas for workflow are first-class.

Excellent tutorial. I am a new user to Logic (I have previously used Reason) and this tutorial nicely familiarized me with the basic use of Logic. I look forward to watching the other Logic tutorials I have purchased!

I was really hoping that you would show a actual project being put together. I guess i was hoping to learn more about hit points. how to time your music to an already edited video. it was very gerneral and vague on how to put music to video. I did learn some new tricks with logic but i was looking for alittle more.

This Tutorial is just Fantastic..learnt HEAPS in such a short period of time, highly recommended

Because of the great reviews I decided to purchase Logic 101: Core Logic 8 and all I can says is a rating of 5 - Best is the correct rating. I'll be getting more MacProVideo real soon.

Fantastic tutorial. I needed to understand the process of building songs in Logic and this tutorial provided me with the base I needed to experiment on my own. Highly recommend this tutorial I refer to it often when I get stuck!

I find the training easy to follow and thorough. Martin really knows his stuff! I've also learned Logic on one of his training videos and it is also great! I recommend his training to anyone.

Wow! What a fabulous tutorial. Mark Sitter paces it very nicely, without any overbearing detail. I like the way Mark uses Logic to demonstrate how sound works, which I'd like to think of as a bonus lesson in theory. Without that sort of thing for a novice like me, many of the functions Logic has are simply incomprehensible and remain neglected. Thus 'Logic 101: Core Logic 8' helps me get the most out the program, which helps make the music making process much easier. So having said tha...

Excellent concept....Being able to actually see how to best use Logic makes learning so much easier...It definately beats trying to learn from reading the manual

Excellent tutorial material and exceptional value for money.

I'm totally new to Logic and music software in general and this tutorial has allowed me to jump right in. Just looking at Logic used to terrify me before, its not a program you can work out simply by playing around with it, as i discovered! I was also concerned about my lack of theory knowledge, its all very well being told how to change the sampling rate of your wave form, but if you don't know what these things are to begin with, it could be very difficult. However, this basic theory info is c...

Excellent tutorial Thank a lot!

This series of tutorials was exactly what I needed to get me started with Logic Studio 8. I am starting from scratch with Logic, and with each session I really feel more and more confident with the software. Thanks for the great work!

Excellent. As English isn't my native language it's really good to both see and hear the guidance. the possibility to rewind and quick go forward as a repetive effect is really good. I will certainly recommend your tutorials.

Hi I wished I had this tutorial long ago. I bought another, and this one was very easy to follow and answered the questions I had and gave me that OH, THATS HOW IT DONE on what I needed. Well done...I will buy another

Is a great way to develop knowledge on DVD Studio Pro, that sin does not exist in Italian! A word of advice: make a version in Italian

Love the tutorial. Great job of making it interesting while keeping it simple! Thanks Martin. Also, love your picture!

I attended "analog" recording school (approx. 90 hours of instruction) about 15 years ago. I didn't realize how challenging it would be to learn Logic on my own, I struggled for a year. then I stumbled upon MacProVideo - totally awesome -- I learned in an hour what took me a year on my own. I love the layout -- I can always reference sections with the drop down menus - very handy - jammed full of great info, tips and tricks - awesome --

Fantastic learning video - I was new to Mac -- It wasn't hard to switch, however it wasn't easy either. I struggled with some basic pc to Mac functions-- left on my own it took to long to figure out advanced functions, this video really helped maximize my Mac. I totally recommend this video -- MacProvideo to the rescue -- way better than reading a book

easy to understand and master. great job

Exactly want I looked for – short and sweet, a very good introduction into better sound handling for an FCP user like me, who knows about the important role of sound in movies but had no code of practice in managing and improving it. Now I have!

I needed to produce a custom DVD menu. DVDSP has many templates, but I needed a certain look on this project. Watching the MPV tutorials help sort through the many options of DVDSP and made making a custom template very easy. And I actually understood what I was doing in the process....Thanks MPV!

DVDSP has tons of options and can be configured for many striking chapters, buttons, and effects. Mac Pro Video helps sort out all of these options with clear descriptions of each one. I highly recommended MPV tutorials. I especially like them because they are a video tutorial, it is much easier for me to understand a video than read an instruction manual.

as a former logic user back in the OS9 days, core logic 8 helped me considerably in getting up to speed after a 5 year hiatus from music production. Martin Sitter has a good sense of humor and made the transition much less arduous. props to the man. i wish this tutorial existed back in the day -- it would have saved me a lot of time.

Excellent tutorial. Very easy to follow and fantastic as a reference when working through the program. I can't think of a single thing I would suggest to improve it. Keep up the great work.

Martin Sitter is the best video trainer there is for Logic and Soundtrack. The man just knows how to make you understand your software, while at the same time keeping you interested and awake. Even if you think you know how to use Logic or Soundtrack, I guarantee you he will show you things you didn't know were possible.

This is the best instructional video I have ever watched. I will be purchasing more videos soon!!! thanks keep up the great work

My first video from macprovideo but not the last, that's for sure. Martin presents Logic 8 with such elegance and humour, that the 450 minutes feel like a second. By the end you actually feel sorry that it has to end! Very helpful, well constructed and original in it's approach. Thumbs up!

This tutorial was a great help. Considering the manuals that come with Logic Pro are massive and overwhelming, this video gets you going quickly. Plus all the shortcuts and tips really speeds up your work flow drastically. I can't wait for the next tutorial!!

I must be honest I am usually a skeptic when it comes to tutorials but finally someone is making tutorials the way I need them to be made! This tutorial is awesome. I am a "seasoned" Pro Tools user and it is difficult to sometimes transition when you are so comfortable with a particular product . But I really wanted to learn Logic so I got it and then purchased this tutorial. Because I know what a DAW is supposed to do, there were certain things i was looking for and this tutorial showed me 90%...

I found the tutorial "Logic 101: Core Logic" extremely helpful as a new user to Logic. It was very clear, and has got me excited to play and learn more as I go...

Up till now I'm learning slowly, so far it has helped me very well. I am new to IMac & I appreciate all I can get from it. Lucie

Hi. I'm not quite done with this training but so faer it is a good introduction.

I have not gone through this DVD fully, in fact have looked only at some lessons. However, I can immediately see that Martin Sitter's approach is very fresh and crystal clear. He neither is condescending nor prone to too much hand holding. I happened to randomly pick his explanation of square and rectangle pixel lesson in the DVD and immediately discovered why I had been doing it wrong all this time. Superbly clear explanation. I am excited and looking forward to the rest. Keep it up. ...

The tutorial gives you a step by step instruction on Logic 8. This is for beginners and advance users that upgraded from Logic Pro 7 to Logic Pro Studio.

The Logic 101 video course (Core Logic 8) is laid out in a very orderly fashion while introducing the more complicated subjects later. Martin does a great job of making the more tedious and sometimes boring subjects fun which helps keep up the interest, which is a big deal for me and a lot of people watching training videos. I would highly recommend to anyone not familiar with Logic Pro 8 to purchase this video course. The price is a steal for all the detailed training you get. Not to mention...

I think that all of your tutorials are excellent They are very comprehensive and well thought out. You can quote me on that if you like!

I believe this product should have a disclaimer saying that it's "for beginners" who are "beginning to learn" about digital music. I guess I should have assumed that from the title "SoundtrackPro 101" Having used ProTools, DP, & GarageBand already, I was hoping to learn the SoundtrackPro program as quickly as possible for working with FCP and other audio enhancing. This video series is not for that. (though I thought the presentation and product were well done.) I gleaned a little new informati...

love it

still didn't watch the whole tutorial but i can say that i've been very surprised and surprised the very good way of things. i thought that u would explain how works the program & not how works the sound in general...it helps me much more than expected. so congrats for this fantastic videos. Nick

a great help; well presented and easy to follow instructions; a much easier way to learn than reading the manual; watching someone do it is the way

This is the best tutorial I ever watched, this is really simple and easy to understand and cover all the basics of Logic and sound editing. It is a must buy for beginners and intermediate users.

I enjoyed this guide; the conversational tone and the interaction between two characters nicely counterpoints the switches between operating systems and helps bring forward similarities and differences between Mac OS X and Windows XP. The use of Parallels is probably necessary for video continuity and due to the use of the specific screen recording program, but adds some elements to the UI that are extraneous to Windows, and therefore may result in lower confidence for new OS X users. The fea...

Very useful and interesting tutorials well worth the money...

Great Video... well organized... some good explanations on sound ... I switched from PC and Cubase to Mac and Logic back in November so it's all pretty new to me... I got up and running in Logic pretty quick but this video really helped uncover some of the deeper things that I wouldn't have even thought of and also altered my workflow... which is definitely a help creatively. I purchase 5 more of your training videos after getting only about 1/3 of the way through this one so I think that says...

I have not got thru all of your tutorials yet but so far they have been very helpful. I run each part thru several times so I don't forget. More later.

This is the second logic tutorial i've purchased. Like the tutorial series for 7, this one is great. It touches on everything you'd need to know to get familiar with Logic 8. The only criticism I can offer is that the series seems pretty heavily weighted on loop based production. With Logic 8 's ability to do sample accurate edits in the arrange window, i think it's important to show just how powerful L8 can be as an audio editor right in the arrange window. I would imagine that a ...

i have found this training dvd very good and when i have the time to complete these videos i will purchase more. thanks, my only critisism is that i think you should get the choice to download the product as you do and have the dvd sent too for a little extra cost. but other than that very good

I had to give the video a 5. I feel it provided more information on the theory of sound than I have taken in on any instructional videos in the past. I believe that as this is good, I would have liked to know say for instance how to set the amount of midi captured by (control *)...etc etc. I did however learn more than I thought I would...=)

I thought the program was very comprehensive and moved in quick short clips that kept my attention. Also the flow of the program worked well. I would like to purchase additional programs

Great stuff, Martin. I haven't even received my new Mac or Logic 8 yet, still I feel prepared for diving in once they arrive thanks to your easy to understand tutorial (love the humour as well). I've already ordered three more MacProVideo tutorials (at that wonderfully generous 33% discount you offered), which are making the whole process of getting up to speed so much easier. And just last night I came across your FREE tutorial on switching from Windows XP to Mac Leopard. Thanks for ...

Generally good quality and useful information. Don't like the infomercial for loops from your sister site. Don't like the repetition from one video to the next on occasion. The clips are only a minute or two long and it feels like valuable time is wasted repeating the same info over again instead of assuming (rightly) that I have just watched the previous video and expect it to flow into the next. Martin Sitter is quite clear and good at explaining.

I have worked my way through the beginning section of the tutorials and am very impressed with them. I told myself that I would learn all the basics thoroughly to get the most from logic and these tutorials are providing a great basis for my knowledge, Im sure as they continue they will mantain the standard displayed so far. Thanks

besides the video abruptly ending without a good bye or something from the instructor, this video was excellent. concise even. i would, and do plan on purchasing the video on understanding the environment, ableton, reason, and if you have one on recycle and mixing hip hop, i would be interested in those too. Keep up the good work.

I´m very happy with your videos. the voice talking is pleasant and well articulated, understandable for a non native. The pace is good I want them all. Thanhk you Martin and Olav Basoski.

Amazing good value for money and very easy to follow. Great product; before getting into the big paper manuals it will get you started right away! The only thing I miss is a picture of Martin himself since I would like to put a face to this great teacher! Ciao, Richard, Spain

I feel the dvd was very good, it was straight to the point in all subjects matters. Keep up the good work!

This is an excellent tutorial. It is fairly comprehensive. Being familiar with Logic, I was looking more for a "Upgrading to Logic 8" tutorial. This is an excellent review which gave me different perspectives and workflow techniques to use.

The material covered is excellent but, probably because of advancing old age, he goes through it almost too fast for me JG

I found what I was looking for in this video so I am satisfied.

This IS really helpful! This is so much better then reading the manuals! I don`t really need them now! Thanks!

martin is a genius.... this series goes far beyond using logic and knowing its features... he teaches the fundamentals of sound and goes through the composition of an actual track.... the amount of effort and thought that went into this module is seriously impressive... very happy with the purchase

It was the first time i'd tried MacProVideo product. Logic Pro 8 What can I say: I'm Happy as a litttle boy for christmas. I can't wait until logic pro 8 (2) will be out. (I hope it will) Dearest Thomas

This was the perfect companion to my new installation of Logic Pro 8. Martin has really done an outstanding job of making the material approachable and easily understandable. His personality and wit come through nicely in the narrations which makes this series very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to both new and existing Logic Pro users.

Exactly what I needed! I have watched the whole tutorial twice and come back to it a couple of times. Martin is an excellent guide in this fascinating world of Logic Express, after his down-to-earth explanations I am even beginning to understand the manual. It is so much better to see it happen than to read about it. Thank you very much!

Very in-depth found it very helpful,

Martin, I have truly enjoyed your work putting these tutorials together. Great job. I wish I would have found them sooner. The encoding and the program that you have created for viewing are superb!! I look forward to purchasing more ways to learn. Michael

Not intimidating. Helped out a great deal.

I am a music hobbyist who recently changed from the PC to Mac, and from Sonar to Logic Express. I had already worked through the Apple Courseware book on Logic before I bought the video. I believed that I needed additional training. The video is very good, although parts can be confusing. Using the word "instantiate" which is not explained until a very late lesson caused me some confusion. Also, the portion of the lesson that is done in Soundtrack Pro is somewhat useless to Logic Express owners...

I was having trouble navigating my Logic 8 , even the little things I was doing wrong was limiting me in my pursuit of making a great recording. Core Logic 8 in the first 5 minutes showed me the shortcuts using the keyboard and sent me on my way!!! I have not even made it all the way through the video yet and I have made tremendous strides. By the time i get to the end I know that I will be making records! Core Logic 8 was the best the thing I bought, next to the Mac of course!!! Highly Recomm...

Great tutorial but wish there was more on the editing tools and atroubleshooting section also recording path was really breezed over I realize its impossiable to cover everything so great otherwise!

I have have been recording as a hobby for years. Went from 4 track tape to logic pro 7 and now logic studio. I absolutely love these tutorials. At last I have found an effective way to learn this massive and complicated program. MacProVideo has revolutionised the way i learn. I love it. Keep up the good work.

Hi Everybody I am still working on with this tutorial and it's very helpful. I'm looking forward to the other six tutorials and sending you my impressions. Greetings, Beat

I have been very happy with the tutorials and have nearly completed both. I am considering purchasing additional tutorials 303 and 202. We are a new studio growing from a home/project setup to a small commercial enterprise. We have migrated away from protools and committed largely to Logic. As an apprentice engineer my primary challenge is managing multiple take tracking sessions, managing the numerous files generated by the process and effectively providing a comfortable recording environment (...

Hi Martin, Thank you so much for making the daunting task of getting up to speed on an application as rich and complex as LOGIC 8 feel like fun. The Logic 101 video pleasantly surprised me many times by thwarting my usual skepticism of such tutorials. Each time I would say to myself "This video is great but I am sure he won't cover XYZ"... sure enough you do cover "XYZ" (and much more) using fantastic and intuitive examples that are immediately applicable for a musician/composer. As you can ...

Ah......Swami Sitter. Wondrous knowledge and a vocal countenance that oozes GeekChic. Bewilderingly informative and affable sense of having someone hold my hand....excellent. Snitt Nayzelsplatt

I have only made it through the first few videos -- but so far very nice, just like the Logic 7 I purchased back in 06. I love the style of the narration and the examples -- this is why I chose to get the Logic 8 tutorial when I bought the software.

Hi there. this comment apply to all videos: Great videos. one suggestion though; It will be great to have a text index for all topics and tips addressed in all videos. Some times I remember a great tip I saw on one of the videos but it takes me forever to find it. Thanks,

Well, after buying both tutorials books (some years ago, now) I then bought logic 101 MASTERING LOGIC 7, and now I bought your new LOGIC 101 about version 8...... Do I need to say anything else??????? The quickest way of understanding LOGIC logic ????? Mr. Sitter tutorials!!!!!!! (actually I feel like I were a good friend of yours, because the tutorials are made in a way that make you think that...) THANKS A LOT FOR IT....... MacProVideo rules... love from Rome!!!! francesco

Good training, althogh the trainer did get on my nerves when he said buttons...bahtons bahtons. other than that it was great.

i would be lost without this video...

Clear, simple and direct. As a result, very enlightening. Even though I've been using logic ever since Emagic started it, there is always some thing you miss because there is so much packaged in Logic. Core Logic 8 should not be underestimated by any one! The difference between Logic 7 and 8 is pretty dramatic, in my opinion, and Core Logic 8 is really worth looking into. My one complaint is that Martin has a slight Mister Rogers style to his voice over work but he's still cool! Buy it!

One of the best tutorial which is easy to digest and understand. Keep up the Good Work!!

Hi, The other Logic tutorials I've seen have been BRILLIANT, really helpful and VERY focused on the real-world application of how things work and why... The video was good, relatively informative BUT overall, i was slightly disapointed... the main reason i bought this was to really understand what the environment is about AND to understand (with real life examples) of HOW TO UTILIZE and use it... for example: • Using the Multichannel ULTRABEAT, and how that routes the signal...I wa...

I'm moving to Logic from using Cubase for years. The 101 training video really helped in making the transition. I now know how to do things that I knew how to do in Cubase. Maybe even a bit more. This is my first try in using net video tutorials and I have to say that videos work a lot better than books. One point reducted because I felt that the instructor was stretching some things a bit too much. But I suppose that I'm a bit different client as I'm familiar with other DAW's already. Less expe...

This tutorial is at about the same level of the 101 course but goes into detail on how to make your own custom templates and buttons in DVDSP. I used to use iDVD for sending out quick client review copies, always fighting it and manually adjusting the templates with custom backgrounds, text styles, colors and such--and generally wasting a lot of time trying to trick "easy to use" software to do what I wanted to. Meanwhile, DVDSP was sitting in my kit the whole time, unused because it seemed s...

Very good!! Thanks!

Great Video. However I wish you would have gone more into the environment and more specifically midi input into logic on this video. overall a great and very easy to understand training

Hi So far I like it It moves a little fast for me and I would like to have more time on file/folder management. I am headed to the Arctic(Kugluktuk) to work with kids at risk in a couple of weeks and I will I will be buying this same tutorial for their computer. Earlier I bought an Ableton live training DVd from you folks and it never worked in my computer,I really should have bought the downloaded version instead. Anyhow so far so good thanks Mike The charity I started is at www...

I find the tutorial very good and useful. I would like however that the pace be slower. This particularly with regard to the activity monitor section.

The product is organized and demonstrated good mastery of content, supporting detail on MPEG structure was fascinating and coverage of some advanced features was useful. Detailed coverage of aspect ratio preservation. Got me quickly started making manual overlays just as I had hoped. Quick start download and play was factor that lead me to purchase but also has the ill effect of having the course divided into to many far too short segments, each with their own head and tail bumpers and annoy...

As someone who has been making music on the Mac since 1997, my main objective for watching the Logic 101: Core Logic 8 video was to quickly get up to speed. In the beginning I continually found myself reflecting "If only I had this type of tutorial when I was just getting started. This is really very relevant information for the beginner which is delivered in a manner that creates a comfortable learning experience." Presenting the material in very small segments means that someone new to Log...

Many years back I was a Vision user but was priced into a PC platform. After bouncing around with various recording applications I decided to go back to using the Mac now that I can afford it! So I jumped in at Logic 8 and macprovideo.com got me up to speed in hours rather than weeks. Thanks guys the value far exceeds the price.

Martin, You do an amazing job of presenting the material and demonstrating the steps to take. I look forward to stealing a few minutes out of the day to view a few lessons whenever I get a chance. Will probably take all the classes in the future as I get done with the current. Only thing that might help is a keyboard command sheet on PDF or something to use as quick reference as presented on order of lessons. Thanks for you great work. PS really enjoy the Canadian accent...reminds me of ...

i like it it"s good

I'm quite new to Logic, bought it less than a fortnight ago... I am very satisfied so far with this introductory course. (I haven't tried other courses, though...). The short lessons makes it easy to find just what I'm looking for, when I don't remember how I do this or that operation in Logic 8. It's a new - and very exciting - world for me. I'm most interested in a combination of using loops together with my own guitar and keyboard and voice. What other courses do you have to offer s...

Excellent tutorial, and a very reasonable price considering the amount of invaluable knowledge that is contained within. It's fairly easy to figure out the basic functions of Logic on your own, but this video does 2 things. 1. Improve your workflow speed by teaching you to utilise UI features more effectively. 2. Explain the advanced features that you couldn't really figure out yourself, like manipulating the environment (which previously had me completely stumped). Excellent work Mart...

This tutorial of Logic 101: Core Logic 8 was very helpful. I learned a lot about logic 8. I am coming from a Pro-Tools back ground and ordered the tutorial to help me with the learning curve. I look forward to the next installment.

I must say I was skeptic, because sometimes you come across sites who have reviews that look like an inside job. Well let me say I'm not affiliated with these guys by any means so the following statement is as organic as Florida oranges...This is hands down the best tutorial you are going to find. The sections are short, but the content is vast which makes it very easy to rewind, fast forward, etc etc. I was somewhat familiar with logic, but this video really served as a test and gave me courag...

A great way to get started editing music to video!

Very informative. It helped me to learn the program. Did exactly what it was intended to do.

Simply the best! Incredibly organized and presented. Couldn't be better in it's information and presentation. The only thing I would wish for is a more in depth section on all of the editing tools. Is there a supplement training that address's this a little more? I always recommend your company!

Love it!!! Nice job breaking down the intricacies of Logic 8. I've been "shedding" each chapter... Keep up the good work...

Hi Macprovideo I'm new to logic, after watching your video on Logic 101:Core Logic 8, I start makeing Tracks right away. Thanks Macprovideo.

UK user, new to Logic. Recently purchased Logic Pro. These tutorials are excellent value - highly recommended. A million times better than a document or help-book because you see the mouse on the screen as it works with clear, real-time explanations from an obviously experienced user/tutor. Fantastic value. My learning curve has gone exponential. Thanks to macProvideo for a real quality product.

I'd already purchased MPV's Logic 7 but I thought the Logic 8 tutorial would smooth over the transition. It's a great introduction to the new version of Logic and I recommend it without hesitation

Hi, I'm a pretty experienced user of Logic, been using it regularly since version 4. That being said, I still am getting alot out of the Logic 101 tutorial. I skip over some sections, but I am learning some new tricks, especially as I adapt to Logic 8. I should probably get the tricks and tips one as well. One thing I would like to see is a midi lesson on "living groove". Don't know how to explain this, I saw someone demoing it at a conference a few years ago and it blew me away. Unfortunatel...

The tutorial is well organized and presented logically. The index is very handy to go back for quick review and each clip is the perfect length. Well done!

I am fairly new to Logic.Transferring in despair from Cubase 3 & PC to Logic 7 & Mac Pro. I have Logic 101 but I find Core Logic8 is more intuitive by following the song thro the various features of Logic. I feel much more confident using the program. Switching to Apple Mac Pro has also given a more stable platform to work on.

Martin's Logic 8 101 tutorial is fantastic! I was already a pretty experienced user of Logic 7, but in switching to version 8, I thought i'd need some help getting around and learning the new features, look, and workflow. Martin's video totally nailed it for me.

I thought the tutorial was perfectly paced. It seems as though a novice would not feel overwhelmed, and a pro would not be bored. That said, I am a singer songwriter, and am not into electronic music, so I would have appreciated an added bit on vocal pitch correction. It would be refreshing to see someone address users like myself, and our particular needs as guitar players/singers, in conjunction with a program like this. Still, I learned alot, and at a rapid pace, yet I feel I retained mos...

This is a must for those new to Logic and would be good for those who don't consider themselves experts. I wish I had known about this tutorial (and about MPV in general) when I first got Logic. How to use Logic's tools and interface is clearly explained - very nice. If you are looking for a shortcut on learning how to work with the tools and the GUI, this is it. About the only thing this tutorial left me wishing for is more coverage for Audio recording. Not just what you can use the tools ...

I was new to Logic, so this video tutorial was just what i needed. Excellent stuff!!

I recently upgraded to Logic 8.My level of expertise with Logic being very basic, I searched everywhere for tutorials.I have some books I was working from - and they are fine - but I have to say the macPro videos are just brilliant. I find them really clear and very concise. Seeing the various operations taking place right in front of me, with everything explained is such a help. Also, it is so easy to pinpoint the particular event I wish to learn. Top marks! Thanks very much David

Sory for my bad english It's a good Tutorial. I dont't like : electronic music I dont't like : the intro with the logo, too long I dont't like : there is no lesson of "tab tempo" and "table des battements (in french)" I like : I've learn the base of Logic in few hours. I like : N.E.D. is usefull Thanks

Great product! I've learned dozens of applications by reading books. From web design, to graphic design to music software. Nowadays I have less time. I as able to learn so much in way less time than reading a book! I'm looking forward to new tutorials.

I love it !! and it's fine to get updates. all the best from Marrakech.

Just finished working through the program and found it very helpful. Being a Singer/Songwriter I would have liked more info on Audio Editing Tips & Tricks and maybe one lesson on Vocal Pitch correction. It was obvious that Angel/Allison's vocal needed some help and then in last couple of lessons it HAD been corrected - it would have been nice to have walked through the process as her pitches were corrected.

This training is great for a novus engineer. It teaches both Logic and the basics of engineering and sound. For experienced engineers, this training wastes a great deal of time on very basic things (eg. sine waves, phase cancellation, what digital converters do, etc.) Many engineers, who are very experienced with other DAWs, are now taking a look at Logic for the first time because of its new features, great sound quality and pricing. Therefore, you may want to include a summary section th...

This tutorial is great- I was hoping for something to teach me the basics of Logic (which it did) but I got so much more, too. My workflow is much more streamlined, I have a great understanding of track and effect automations, using my DSP effects, mastering, etc. I could go on and on. Top job!!!

An excellent introduction to Logic Pro. I'd not used Logic before and was quickly able to start using it. I particularly liked the way the videos explain some of the crucial background principles (like waveforms, frequency, etc.) that other books leave out. There's some really invaluable information here. A much nicer way to learn than the huge stack of books that comes in the box! Thank you!

Really enjoyed this DVD. Thought the trainers presentation was great.

Thanks very much Martin for the concise and to the point tutorial on Logic Studio. Once I got going on the tutorial it was hard to stop at times as I could hardly wait to get to the next movie. Great info and tips. I have used Express for quite a while and decided to step up to Pro when Studio came out. I am very glad I did. You make what can at first be rather daunting easy. Thanks again! I will be back for more!

The tutorials are well planned and presented. Martin is especially good at narrating what he's doing and why (and how else you might do it), even for simple operations. This means that just watching him work gives you a lot of familiarity with the program in just a little time. This was worth a lot to me.

This, being my first tutorial really wet my appetite for more! While I wasn't a fan of the particular musical selection, the information was very satisfying. Keep it coming!

switching to logic was a breeze. I really really recommend this tutorial.

Core Soundtrack Pro 2 is super. I lke the way Martin helps me work better in SP2. Keep up the good work and make the next program..

This was my first Tutorial and it was a super way to jumpstart my Mastering of Logic

Thank you for a very well done set of tutorials. The format is a lot more friendly than reading manuals, and a lot of crucial information is presented here in a very well thought out manner. I really like the presentation format a lot and would like to purchase more videos for Logic, however, it looks like most everything else involves only synths & stuff for electronic music, which isn't my bag. If you would produce more tutorials pertaining to Logic and Audio recording/editing, I would glad...

It's empressive but I'm still in the early stages. There's so much more to logic than Garage Band . so I think this video will be even more essential .

I was very impressed with Logic 101. I have been using logic 7 for over 12 months and didn't think that there would be much to learn from a beginners tutorial. Well I'm glad to say I was wrong. Logic 101 is packed with easier ways of doing things and useful bits of info I just had never thought about before. It would be nice if there was a way to have your existing purchases count towards a discount if you end up buying the whole package. Because I enjoyed 101 I have since down loaded the Sculpt...

Very good tutorial. Very informative and got me up and running in no time.

By chance, I found this webside. And immediately I downloaded the N.E.D and the Logic 101 tutorial. I was very surprised about the easy installation and the good quality of the videos. To use the N.E.D. is straightforward, very simple and easy to use. All in one it's worth every cent. And for sure, it was not the last tutorial I purchased from "Mac Pro Video".

On the positive side, a fabulous video for getting started and learning Logic Express 8. I personally like watching a video instead of reading a book. For me that works better. The thing that I had a little problem with was understanding the spoken word. The conversational style is fine. For me it would have helped if Martin spoke a little slower. I appreciate his enthusiasm with the subject matter, but sometimes his words would trail off at the end of a sentence. Many times I had to s...

Hey, thanks a lot for the Logic Tutorial. I had a lot fun whatching them. For me you can focus more on the complett Studio where people are using Logic. Where important for me is: Working with Logic Controls Timecode Video Inserter from Unitor 8 to the TV Display, Working with Surround in Logic 8, Working with other DSP Based PlugIns (for example UAD and SSL), and also the Bugs that Logic 8 already has! I have got differnet Problems with the new Logic 8. Some Grafik Problems. LED Meters wh...
