Our take
Based on the ratings of 228 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a 48-minute crash course in Logic Pro, free, split into eight short lectures. Tomas George builds a simple track from nothing: drum beats, basslines and chords, the arpeggiator, then a quick tour of the mixer and a first look at Retro Synth. It only works if you have a Mac and Logic Pro installed. The audience is people new to the program, and the course itself tells advanced users to skip it. About 10,800 students have taken it.
Reviewers like how quick and clear it is. One calls it straightforward and easy to follow, another says that after owning the program for a while they now have an idea of what a mixer does, and one reviewer was impressed enough by the teaching to say they would pay for it. A Portuguese-language reviewer says the shortcuts and tips were the most valuable part, and that Tomas makes clear up front that he will not go deep. The complaints come from the last two topics. One complete beginner got lost at the mixer and Retro Synth, while a more experienced user found most sections below their level. Of 228 reviews, 127 are five stars and only four are one or two stars.
At no cost, it is easy to justify as a first sitting. It was last updated in July 2026, so it is not a stale upload. Just keep expectations realistic: there are no quizzes or exercises, and a track made in under an hour is a sketch, not a skill. Use it to find out whether Logic suits you and to get past the blank-project stage, then move to a longer course for proper mixing and sound design.
Pros
- Short enough to finish in one sitting, and it ends with a simple track built from scratch
- Reviewers call it straightforward and easy to follow, and praise the teaching
- Picks up useful key commands and shortcuts, even for people who already poke around Logic
- Free, and updated in July 2026 after a 2018 launch
Cons
- Mixer and Retro Synth move fast, and one complete beginner got lost there
- Very little depth: reviewers say most topics are shown, not explained in detail
- No quizzes, exercises or projects to practice with afterwards
Good course for beginners that progresses at the right level and right pace.
True beginners fit best. The mixer and Retro Synth sections move fast for some, and regular Logic users find it too easy.

good explanation of basics
By Samuel Francis Bright on 10/30/2022
Yes, a perfect match for me to understand how to create music from scratch.
By Sydney Walker on 10/24/2022
I've been playing around with Logic Pro X for a while now, but I know there's so much I could still learn. Most of these sections were a little under my skill level, but I was introduced to some key commands I didn't already know, which was cool. The biggest things for me with this course were the last 2 sections on Mixing and the Retro Synth. I've never really tried to mess with the controls within the Inspector page, so learning about the Retro Synth was exciting. Can't wait to learn more and keep developing these skills!

THE TEACHER IS VERY EXCEPTIONAL, I AM SO IMPRESSED... I WOULD PAY TO HAVE SUCH A CLASS, WITH SUCH A TEACHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

By Ace Mach 12 on 8/3/2020
Super Straight forward, simple quick easy to follow. I'm exited to learn more from this guy.
By Kika Waialae on 5/22/2020
Iʻve had this program for a while and never understood it at all. I now have an idea of what a mixer does and somewhat how to use it. Hopefully as I continue this course it talks deeper into mixing. For that reason I give it 4.5
By James Cook on 1/18/2020
Great primer for logic pro x, just what I needed
By Jon Harris on 12/17/2019
Good course for beginners that progresses at the right level and right pace.
By Pianpian Liu on 4/13/2019
I started getting really lost from when you started talking about mixer and then retro synth, for a complete beginner I think it was a bit bewildering to go that fast but I get that it's a free beginner workshop. maybe those things DON'T need to be added into beginner workshop?
