Attendees will learn how to write, record, edit, and mix music using Apple’s music software and sound library package, Apple Logic Studio. Apple Product Representatives and Clinicians will focus on the new features of Apple Logic Studio and will conduct the two classes.

Instructors will show how Logic Studio’s included software, Apple Logic Pro 8, simplifies music production.

The Apple Logic Studio Tour will also cover integration with Apogee and Euphonix products such as the new Euphonix MC Mix, also available at Guitar Center stores, Apogee Symphony, or Apogee Duet, which is available online as a standalone unit or with the Apogee Duet Recording Package. The Apogee Duet Recording Package is a complete home recording setup that combines the Apogee Duet FireWire Interface with Apple Logic Express 8 Software along with two versatile Audio-Technica microphones, tripod stands for both, two Fostex PMO Monitor Speakers, and cables to connect it all.

Downloading Ipod Music – Pitfalls, Tips and Tricks 25

Posted on November 20, 2010 by Jennib And Friends

Downloading iPod music online can be a tricky business if you are not careful. You may wonder what’s there to worry about. Everyone else, even your neighbor’s dog is downloading music for iPod while he is watching TV, right?
