Can't shake the feeling that this course could be MUCH better if it had been planned and polished a bit more.
The instructor often gets lost doing repetitive things that could have been edited out for clarity (like loading and naming every sample in a plugin instead of just showing the example with one or two and cutting the screen capture to all loaded), and it feels like the classes are not very scripted. Sometimes, he suggests loading a file at the end of the class, which would have been great to do at the beginning to illustrate what he is doing. He often talks briefly about an option on an instrument or plugin without explaining why that option should be used or its advantage against another. Sometimes, it feels like you are just following button pushing more than really understanding the concept.
If you ar able to look past these nuances, some good information can be taken from it.

Course details
Electronic music is an umbrella term for a wide variety of genres and sounds, from ambient, dub, acid house, trap, drum and bass, dubstep, and more. But whatever style you produce, Logic Pro can handle it. This powerful DAW is uniquely suited to capturing your creativity and expressing your sonic ideas. In this course, instructor Nate Mars shows you the core techniques professionals use to produce electronic music in Logic Pro.
He starts with building the foundation of the track—the drums. He shows how to program beats in Ultrabeat, utilize your own samples, and create drumbeats for a variety of genres. He then moves into creating basslines for house, trap, dubstep, and other genres, and getting a great deep sub-bass sound. He next moves into creating lead synth sounds, starting with Logic Pro's built-in Alchemy and Retro synths. He also goes into using samples and adding sound effects. Then he pulls it all together and demonstrates ways to arrange the tracks, use creative effects, mix the tracks together, and use automation to finalize the mix. Plus, learn how to send your MIDI note and clock data to external synths from Logic Pro X—a fun way to experiment with analog sounds.
