Julian says…

I have been using Logic as my main songwriting and producing DAW for more than fifteen years.

Whether I’m Songwriting, Arranging, Producing, Mixing or simply trying out ideas, Logic is the first place I go to achieve what I need to do in a fluid and flexible way.

It can seem daunting but is all about getting ideas out of your head and into the real world.

This 24 week course will take you step by step from the very basics of getting set up all the way to more advanced concepts such as audio and midi manipulation and then getting your tracks industry ready.

I will be teaching you the Logic how to’s, do’s and don’ts that I have learnt over the years.

This course is aimed at aspiring songwriters, musicians and producers giving you the tools to take your music, whether acoustic or electronic to the next level.

I have successfully used Logic live and in the studio in my work for the likes of Seal, Rod Stewart and Trevor Horn as well as countless emerging artists.

Knowing Logic like the back of my hand has enabled me to work quickly yet more importantly enjoyably and I’m really looking forward to sharing it all with you!

See you in the (virtual) studio!

What will I get from the series..? Glad you asked!

Easy to manage course work

Just like a foreign language, you can't speed-learn production. That's why we've made this course to fit into your life so you can learn without pressure. You'll join a live masterclass every 2 weeks and be set an assignment. That gives you plenty of time to work on the assignment and watch the replay video before the next masterclass. No stress and no overwhelm!

Start learning how to record your songs immediately

You'll be learning step by step the simple way to immediately start using Logic Pro X to create music from the very first session.

Get access to top producer Julian Hinton

Julian Hinton has an incredible track record and will show you in his amazing live masterclasses how he helped create music for Trevor Horn, Seal, Robbie Williams, Gabrielle Aplin, Rod Stewart and many more world famous artists. This is your chance to get direct access to Julian for a whole year!

Get answers to your production questions

At the end of every live masterclass there's a Q&A session where you'll be able to get the answers you need to your questions. You can ask Julian anything you like, from production techniques to recording vocals, plug ins, mixing and mastering, and much more.

Get feedback on your work

Get valuable peer-to-peer feedback on your tracks and production, plus share tips and techniques in our exclusive Pro Production Logic Feedback Loop in a private area of The Songwriting Academy community. This is for Logic Masterclass students only.

Build a professional network of like-minded people

Networking is essential in the music business and as a serious songwriter, artist or producer, you need to do it! That's why this course is so much more than 'education'. It's giving you vital connections to other like-minded songwriters, producers and artists around the world with a shared goal of success.

Regular assignments to keep you motivated

In these carefully designed masterclasses, Sie will be setting you assignments to work on during every masterclass which you will post in the Pro Production Logic Feedback Loop for feedback and discussion with your peers. You'll be given so many new techniques to practice , goals to work towards, as well as a regular motivational kick in the pants.

Watch live or later

Don't worry if you can't make all the live masterclasses, or if you join the course partway through. We'll be uploading replay videos for you to watch anytime at your leisure, along with useful time cues to help you navigate to your favourite sections, plus any additional course notes or downloads. You'll have lifetime access to all 24 webinars.

Two pay option

We're also going to make things easier for those of you who can't afford the full payment instantly. We'll give you the option of two-pay for this course, meaning 50% payment to get started and then 50% payment 30 days later. There is a surcharge for this but we hope it makes things easier.

Pay less than £0.20 pence ($0.30 cents) a minute to learn LIVE from a top producer

My goal is to help as many songwriters and producers around the world as possible so although the course is valued at £1995.00 I’m making 24 x 90 minute masterclasses available for the you NOW at just £395.00

Think about that for a moment…that’s less than £0.20 pence ($0.30 cents)/minute to learn from a world class producer in a live class!

Why not make it a bundle?

This course will be running alongside two other Masterclass Series from The Songwriting Academy

Thank you for sharing your insights and revelations! It’s truly a beautiful gift to have people willing to share what they have learned.

Rachel

I am sure you have hundreds of emails but I just wanted to thank you most sincerely for being so generous with your time, giving us such a good webinar and sharing your love of songwriting. It was great, useful and enjoyable.

Jasmina

I wanted to let you know that already from your masterclass last night, I feel like I am in the right place – this is exactly the kind of support I needed right now at this stage in my career. Furthermore, having taken other academic courses in songwriting, I really love and value your particular approach, mindset and the content of your teaching from your professional experience, it really is compressing “decades into days”.

Todd

I just wanted to thank both of you for your time, song critique and suggestions. I found the call with Angela extremely informative and helpful. Martin your analysis of my tune was spot on! I will pair my skills together with your suggestions and come up with a plan to proceed forward. Thanks again!

Riccardo

Thanks Martin, this is awesome!

Shayne

Wow, wow, wow— Thank you so much for the stellar Week One webinar, Martin. My thoughts are just racing right now. And I am a bit nervous and freaked out at the moment… ha ha. I haven’t been active making music in over 25 years. But the assignment is just the kick in the back-side that I need right now to actually get me creating again. I’m the master ninja of procrastination– so this is really the push to get me moving. Thank you so much for the push to get going, Martin. Much gratitude

Dan

Brilliant first session Martin. Very insightful and learnt so much! A lot of great techniques to take away from that webinar, I will be using the 7 step planner immediately. Looking forward to the assignment and the next 49 weeks.
