This course is a fantastic breath of fresh air. A very different type of course from most others on the platform. Two things I particularly love. The first is that Alex supplies all the projects, making it very engaging to follow along. In fact, it's essential that you do this, I feel; otherwise, the course might feel more like an extended lecture; but with the ability to use the project files, the course really comes to life. The second outstanding thing about this course is that Alex uses ONLY Logic plug-ins. And he doesn't just use the usual suspects either - he really uses a range of stock plug-ins. How many courses have you watched that actually use Delay Designer or the EVOC20 Filterbank, for example? Even a plug-in as hard hitting as Clip Distortion is almost never used anywhere during Logic Pro courses. Not so here. A huge range of Logic's plug-ins get their time in the sun. In fact, the stock plug-ins that are typically used in online courses - Tape Delay, Stereo Delay, Compressor - are the only ones NOT to be used at all. This is so refreshing. Thanks, Alex!
