Learn the Logic workflow
Follow a sequenced course from setup to MIDI, recording, editing, Session Players, mixing, mastering, spatial audio, and export.

Every module connects to ear-training, theory, metronome, tuner, and DAW drills so learners build musical reflexes away from Logic.

Resource vault and update lab
MasterLogic keeps canonical source files in structured Markdown, YAML, JSON, and CSV, then exports Claude-friendly and learner-friendly bundles. That lets curriculum, resources, quizzes, and Logic version caveats stay maintainable.
Release Lab Operating Rules
- Track Logic Pro release notes and flag affected lessons.
- Add compatibility badges for Mac, iPad, Apple silicon, and Sound Library requirements.
- Publish short update lessons for new Logic tools such as Session Players, Stem Splitter, Mastering Assistant, Sample Alchemy, and Atmos export changes.
- Keep resource manifests separate from Apple-owned Sound Library content so downloads stay original-resource-first.
