Advanced Logic Pro: Hip-Hop

Advanced Logic Pro: Hip-Hop is an advanced-level experience for producers aiming to master the craft of hip-hop production using Logic Pro. Students will analyze production across the genre’s history, build advanced drum textures using Drum Machine Designer, flip samples with Quick Sampler and resampling workflows, and develop professional-quality vocals and mixes using Logic’s native tools.

By the end of the course, each student will complete and present an original hip-hop track that demonstrates artistic voice, technical excellence, and genre fluency.
