Our take
Based on the ratings of 12,922 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2020. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a 40-hour Logic Pro X course, 182 lectures across 31 sections, that starts with a primer on digital audio and recording, then works through MIDI, editing, mixing, automation, surround, notation and scoring to video. One thing the syllabus shows that the sales page doesn't: about 25 of those 40 hours are a single Mix Demonstrations section, 22 long real-session videos. The taught core is closer to 15 hours. It's Mac only, naturally, and pitched at absolute beginners as well as self-taught Logic users who never learned the fundamentals properly.
Reviewers say the teaching is detailed and methodical. The course is sold under the Make Pro Music name, and students refer to the instructor as Rob, praising his pacing and his habit of explaining why, not just where to click. Several say they went from knowing nothing to recording their own projects, and one singles out basics like gain staging that free tutorials skip. The complaints are about polish and age. The last update was August 2020, for Logic 10.4, so newer versions look different in places. One four-star review says some videos lacked editing and felt unpolished for the price. Another found the demo song, heard over and over, grating enough to nearly quit.
In our Music list it sits beside another complete Logic Pro course. With 4.5 stars from about 12,900 reviews, and 57 percent of them five stars, students clearly get value from it. Wait for a sale rather than paying full price, and expect to translate some screens to your current Logic version.
Pros
- Covers the whole chain: recording, MIDI, pitch and time editing, mixing, automation, surround, notation and video
- Reviewers credit it with fundamentals like gain staging that free YouTube tutorials skip
- About 25 hours of real mix demonstration sessions on top of the taught lessons
- One reviewer praises Rob's pacing; another credits him with explaining the principles, not just which button to press
Cons
- Last updated August 2020 for Logic 10.4, so newer versions look different in places
- A reviewer says some videos lacked editing and felt unpolished for a paid course
- The demo song repeats throughout, and one student found it grating enough to nearly quit
Since I've started, I've been able to accomplish everything in the fields of engineering and production I've aimed to do so far, thanks to Rob's thorough and meticulous instruction.
Listed as all levels and mostly true for beginners; experienced users will find the advanced Optional sections and mix demos the useful part.

I've been using Logic for a year and a half trying to learn on YouTube and other free sources. But taking this class has been the best choice for me!! Many of the basic lessons (such as balance your tracks at -18db) are not told by other peoples. Others I feel almost want you to be confused. Also, you told me the notion of recording "hot" is an old principle no longer used with digital recording. THANK YOU!!! I really appreciate your attention to detail for explaining the principles your teach. This class rocks!
By Hector Neftali Guzman on 9/14/2021
The information given is good, relevant and it is explained well. At the time that I took the course it was in need of an update and some of the videos lacked minor editing. Really this didn't take away from the information given but it did make you wonder why you had paid for a course that seemed unpolished. I would still recommend the course as long as you are not paying full price for it.
By Dylan J Casper on 12/31/2020
Coming from knowing pretty much NOTHING about Audio Production in Logic to finding this course, it pretty much has revealed SO MUCH I didn't know. Tools in the DAW I didn't even know existed that I didn't know I had access were brought to light. I still have so so much to learn but having this now as a resource is Life, or, may I say, Mix Saving. Very glad to have discovered this.

This course has been a lot of fun and extremely helpful. Other than purchasing LogicX and experimenting on my own, I had no previous experience. Since I've started, I've been able to accomplish everything in the fields of engineering and production I've aimed to do so far, thanks to Rob's thorough and meticulous instruction. His approach and demeanor also make for an excellent learning experience and his pacing is just right. It's been great.

The music is just so horrible, and I really wanted to quit this course just because of that. The knowledge is great. I was literally losing my mind listening to "now lo-uh-uh-ve dont come easy easy, slow ...YOU MADE A BAD PAN OUT OF ME!!! and I can hardly breeheeeheeeeeee" over and over again.
By Paul Garry on 10/17/2018
Great course, in depth and covered so much about Logic and production in general. I docked half a star because although I could pre-download the course, it actually wouldn't play that way so I had to stream directly. Quite frustrating when trying to do the course on my commute (whilst taking notes). Have done several Udemy course and this is the only one I had this problem with.
By Marcus Thompson on 8/18/2018
Having used Garageband for a number of years to varying levels of success I decided to upgrade and stop relying on others to record my songs. I was looking for a course that would teach me how to use Logic Pro and all aspects of it, and this course does exactly that and a whole lot more. This course is extensive and Rob's friendly yet to the point teaching style is perfect. This course is a must see for anyone wanting to know how to get the most out of Logic, arm themselves with powerful skills, and stop relying on others to create great sounding music.
By Patryk Polanski on 7/30/2018
As a newbie in Logic, the course has really helped me to get started and explore all the capabilities of the software. The topics cover the majority of functions and are often very well explained. Will be coming back to it without a doubt. One thing I would have liked to be improved is the exercises. A lot of the times Rob (the teacher) was saying 'and now apply this to your own mix' or 'have a play around with those settings'. Also, Rob showing us how he comes up with ideas and develops them into full songs would also be a nice touch. However, seeing how much other stuff Rob is giving away for free on his websites and YT, I can't really complain and still think this is a fantastic course.
By Luis Santana on 10/26/2017
I have been doing music from time to time since 15 years. During this time I have had soooo many questions.. of course.. this is not my area... but it´s something I really enjoy to do... I would recommend this course 100%... why? - It´s clear - It´s for beginners and for people with some knowledge - Resources are great - Rob explains in a super clear way - He gives many tips on how to do the things in the best way. In this course, Rob has clarified many questions I have had since long time ago. It´s just great! You will not lose your money. It totally worth every penny. Thanks, Rob! Cheers, Luis.
By John Sampson on 9/29/2017
Very good course. It really breaks Logic X down into manageable chunks. I found it best to dip in and out of the course over several weeks while trying stuff out in practice, otherwise there is a huge amount of informationto absorb. Rob is also a great teacher and explains concepts very clearly. One downside is that questions/comments don't seem to get answered.
