Musical Architects - Produce Your Professional Song In Logic (Udemy.com)

Wow, this is an amazing course. Marc brings a very special mix of creativity and structure together in this course. Not only does he show you his creative process and approach but he openly shares all of his musical and technical knowledge. On top of this he is constantly teaching tips for Logic Pro, which has totally upgraded my workflow and speed using the software. What I learnt helped me to advance my music production far beyond anything I could imagine. One area for consideration would be whether there be updates to the course to reflect the updates to Logic Pro in recent years. Highly recommend this course, incredible value.

Is really good actually, I thought this might be an average course on Logic Pro based stuff and not much about music prod. or teach anything song-related, BUT NO! ITS ABSOLUTELY WHAT I NEEDED! Yes its really good.

I have heard, learnt and used many of the practices shown in the course over the years - and still got stuck at times and not able to take things really to the end. This course is gluing it all together. Now I understand how all these topics connect, how I can get unstuck, and what tools and approaches I can effectively use to overcome challenges. This is helping me to take my craft to the next level. Thanks so much, Marc! You are a great musician and a great teacher!

An excellent course, very informative. Marc has an excellent style of presentation. My experience beforehand was having written a dozen songs, the lyrics and all instrumentation, and using Reaper for recording. So the first few modules had several nuggets of advice I could use, but mostly reinforced I was on the right lines. I can see how it would be even more beneficial if I'd seen this before I'd started songwriting. The main benefit for me came from the later sections, on recording vocals and better use of the software (sidechains, production, buses, mixing) where I've gathered plenty of hints and tips to make things sound better. I am undoubtedly going to be a better producer of my music after Marc's advice. Thanks!

This is quite a comprehensive course and I enjoyed it a lot while also (importantly, of course) learning quite a lot. What stood out to me was the considerate, patient, and well-organized teaching style of Marc, who is able to take the perspective of a (less experienced) student of the course, also showing and appreciating different alternatives, the occurrence of uncertainties, and emphasizing subjective tastes, creativity, etc....while still providing clear, focused structure and guidance suitable for any style or genre (for example, with multistep guides to important steps of the process). With my music, there were times, when I felt kind of lost...I was entering the course at a somewhat-intermediate level but would also recommend the course for beginners. So many important concepts (small and big) that I picked up over the years from random sources are bundled here. Did I miss something? In my personal case, I try to get better in sound selection, instrumentation, texture. So I would have been interested in more details in the change-up from the original draft with keys as the dominant sound to the new version with guitars, organ, etc. It was a difference like day and night and I really would have been interested in more details in the thought process, experimentation, also a bit in the sound design of the guitars. (I understood, though, that the basic approach was similar to what we had learned before.) There were a few similar examples where I would have liked to know more about such specific details along the way, but I also think Marc made the right choice to focus on progressing with the course instead as it is long and comprehensive enough as it is. Thanks, Marc, for a wonderful course. It was crystal clear to me as a viewer how much time and effort you put into this and my impression was that it really paid off for me as a student. I also appreciated the lovely details like metaphors, drawings, overlays for additional structuring, and of course the playful background music and sound effects. All the best to you!

Hi Marc, I can't locate the 1 downloadable resource mentioned in the intro notes and would like to know if the completed project, "another world", is available too as a file from somewhere. You've done a great job on this I'm most grateful for your time and effort. --- I have located the Musical+Architects+Syllabus.pdf and am totally satisfied.

I'm only halfway through the course and it has already exceeded my expectations. The course clocks in over 9hrs of content and covers the whole spectrum of songwriting, recording, production, etc... It's honestly worth a lot more than what is being charged. The only reason that I think someone would have given it anything but a 5 stars is it is an intermediate course and they may have been a beginner. It is jam packed with content and if you aren't at an intermediate level, it may be daunting, but not impossible. I'm certain I'll re-watch this course many times as it has so much information to take in.

Great value for money! I think the content is above my level (I'm a beginner, haha), so I actually have to pause a lot and experiment, go back to my notes etc., but seeing how Marc goes through that process is very illumunating. A few things that I've enjoyed so far: - clear structure, clear aim of every section and very good quality of materials - tips that appear on the screen throughout the course - the initial Logic Crash Course - a lot of space for reflection and "playing" with options - the depth of the topic - before I signed up to this I also had a look at other available courses (of course) and all of them seem to be super short?

Around halfway through the course, and it's a good fit for what I was looking for. Taking a tour through the complete creative process has been extremely valuable, and I actually like that it's not a step-by-step tutorial - you need to pay attention to keep up with all the handy shortcuts and techniques the instructor uses. It's not a class I'd recommend for the complete novice. Some foundation in music theory and basic DAW usage are almost certainly necessary to get the most out of the content. For someone who has been noodling with musical ideas and hasn't found a process for turning an idea into a complete song, though? It's a great structured guide to one person's process as a solid starting point.

The course is very well structured and covers a wide range of topics that come together when producing your own music. What i loved about the course was that Mark gives a very positive and encouraging feel which make the videos a pleasure to watch and makes you think of music production from a holistic perspective. I can't recommend this course enough to beginners but also advanced producers.
