Introduction
Hello, my name is Nyk Cowham. This is week two of the Introduction to Music Production coursera.org course by Berklee College of Music. Today I will be teaching how to setup a new audio recording project using Logic Pro X digital audio workstation (DAW).
Preproduction checklist
Before starting a new project in Logic Pro X we must have a "preflight plan". This is our preproduction checklist:
- Project folder: name & file location
- Bit depth, buffer, hardware I/O devices
- File type for recordings
- Sample rate
This checklist is based on the general checklist for DAW setup. It is specific to the workflows within Logic Pro X.
