Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

I also use www.macprovideo.com
 
Another good website with tutorials is www.groove3.com.
 
Each of the sites have an option to do a monthly subscription of $25.00 USD that is charged to a credit card or debit card. This will give you access to all the tutorials that are available (the even have some tutorials on NI stuff). You can cancel the subscription at any time and it might be a cheaper route than purchasing each video. Hope this helpls.

Subject: [Logic_Cafe] Training: Opinions?


  
I've been using Logic for quite a while. Probably not as long as many 
of you, but I think I started with version 4. However, for a little 
while now, I've been feeling like I haven't been getting the most out of 
Logic -- both due to just carrying forward old skills without updating 
and due to old skills not often used getting lost in the shuffle. Also, 
I just (finally) upgraded to Logic Pro 9. I think it's time I settled 
down for a complete ground-up revamp. I've particularly enjoyed the few 
DVD tutorials that Native Instruments put out for, for example, Kontakt 
2 (I wish they'd update it), and I find that I'm more likely to go 
through something like that than to slog through a thick book.

I've been considering a couple of avenues, but they're just the ones 
I've coincidentally seen advertised. Lynda.com has a couple of videos. 
"Logic Pro 9 Essential Training" is 5.5 hours, and is rated a level 1 
out of 3 on their skills curve. I'm sure it's a good place to start, 
but I worry it won't be anywhere near deep enough. "Logic Pro 9 New 
Features" is 1.5 hours and is level 2. It's probably useful. The site 
had a $25/mo subscription rate, or $37.50/mo if you want exercise files 
to do the exercises. However, even though the price is right, if the 
videos aren't good it's a waste of time, and I don't see that they have 
any further higher-level videos for Logic Pro.

The other avenue I've been looking at are the Ask Video videos about 
Logic 9 Pro. They seem to have three DVDs, just called Level 1, Level 2 
and Level 2. They cost $39.99 each, or there's a bundle of all three 
for $109.95. (That's the pricing at musicstudiodirect.com -- if you 
know of a better price, that would be cool.) They claim to have (for 
the three-pack), over 12 hours of video across 134 separate videos. So 
it's much more expensive than lynda.com, especially since I'd likely not 
need more than a single month there, but it seems like it might go much 
further.

I'm wondering if anybody has any experience and can give any feedback 
about either of these or if anybody has another favourite that they'd 
like to recommend.
