Sound Design and Composition in Logic Pro

Sound Design and Composition in Logic Pro gives you a complete, practical path to creating professional audio for film, television, and video games inside Apple’s flagship DAW. Led by producer, engineer, and composer Shareef Islam, you will learn how to set up your sessions correctly, work efficiently with audio and MIDI, and deliver polished mixes that are ready for clients.

You will start with the essentials that keep real projects on track, including session preparation, bit depth and sample rate choices, and smart import workflows for video and audio assets. From there, you will dig into creative production using Logic Pro’s built-in tools plus third party libraries, building layered sound design with Track Stacks, Samplers, and Synths while keeping your template clean and fast.

As you progress, you will apply effects, automation, and proven mixing approaches for cinematic clarity. You will practice both stereo and surround techniques, then learn how to export cues and stems so your work lands exactly how music editors and game teams expect.
