I've recently been inspired to jump back into Logic Pro. One of the funny things about being a music producer is how easy it is to get set in your ways. With so many options for music making out there, it's surprising how many of us fall into habits, and end up using one DAW over all the others.

Equalisation - or EQ - is one of the most-used audio processes. Whether it's a musical project, or post-production video work, EQ uses filters at various frequency bands to either subtly or drastically shape the sound of an audio file, instrument or vocal performance, to name just a few.

So in this guide, we are going to take things back to basics, and focus...

I've recently been very fortunate and got hold of a MacBook Pro with Apple's M1Pro chip, and it's a stunning device. You may remember our article here, where I discussed the options for the best Mac for running Logic Pro, and now having an M1Pro chip in my home production arsenal, I can safely say that the verdict was right.

So, in this guide here's what we're going to cover: Logic Pro's Drummer Logic Pro's Drum Kit Designer Logic Pro's Drum Machine Designer Some great tips for using these   So, let's jump right in.   All...

You tracks are on one side of the screen, listed from top to bottom, and then your audio is organised and recorded into a horizontal environment which follows a timeline.
