I offer private lessons for Logic Pro X and/or audio engineering concepts at $30 PER LESSON. These hour-long lessons are custom 1-on-1 meetings, tailored to whatever genre of music you are interested in. Both Logic Pro X and the concepts of audio engineering as a whole can be overwhelming so I’m more than happy to help you learn!
Speaking of learning, the world will always need an audio engineer. If you’re serious about learning and working in audio, please reach out to me for availability on any upcoming gigs I have that you can help and learn on-site.
