Requirements
No programming experience needed. You will learn everything you’ll need to know.
Required: Laptop or desktop computer
Required: Logic Pro X or GarageBand (On a Mac) or any digital audio workstation (DAW) of your choosing.
Optional: A drum sampler plugin. In this course I create beats using everything from the stock “drummer” function in logic to Ez Drummer 2 & 3, to Ugritone Drum Samplers
Optional: MIDI keyboard. I will be using the QWERTY keyboard for any examples I program completely from scratch but you may find it easier to follow along with an external MIDI controller.
