The epilogue of the music creation process

The third part of the review deals with sections 25-33. Those segments are focused on the DJing part, which means no more deep dive into Logic. The major tools here are the DJ set and Ableton that allow you to share your music with your audience. Moreover, here you are getting Armin to talk about the business side of music production which is pretty cool.

From Logic to DJ set

Till now, (parts 1-24) there was a significant focus on the DAW as the center of attention of this course. Make sure to read our reviews regarding Part I and Part II which are proof that Armin van Buuren Teaches Dance Music is one of the most practical and efficient courses out there for demonstrating Logic Pro X in the real world situation.

We know that the most challenging part of independent filmmaking is the creation of the music…. but It’s your own music, and you own these precious assets like footage.

Now, when the soundtrack is done, Armin grants you the knowledge for how to share it correctly (edits, mashups, basics, techniques, and tips) by utilizing a professional DJ set. We need to emphasize that these parts are not meticulous and technically in-depth like the Logic parts, however, for our audience those segments are expendable.

Summary

Y.M.Cinema Magazine is dedicated to educating filmmakers. We got a lot of questions from our audience about why should we review a course about dance music so comprehensively? The answer to that is simple: We know that the most challenging part of independent filmmaking is the creation of the music. Personally, I have been struggling on making my own music to my films, as this is the most innovative choice and a pure artistic challenge. Think of that! It’s your own music, and you own these precious assets like footage. Moreover, you can adapt your music to fit your film accurately and emotionally. Furthermore, learning how to utilize Logic Pro X is a huge privilege for filmmakers and visual content creators for many reasons beyond just producing music (sound designing for instance). Finally, Armin van Buuren Teaches Dance Music is the BEST Logic Pro X course which you can find by far! We absolutely recommend you to experience this pure fun and educating journey.
