 Welcome to the New York Logic Users Group
The NYLPUG is organized and hosted by Jonathan Perl and Steve H of Mac Audio Trainers (the premier provider of Logic certificaton and training – but you already know that). Founded in June 2005, NYLPUG is dedicated to bringing together creative musicians, producers, songwriters, composers, sound designers and other users of Apple’s Logic Studio. Our meetings are open to all: the only cost is a small room rental fee to use the space at Dale Pro Audio each month (currently $7/person at the door).
Past meetings have included luminaries in our field, such as Bob Power, Toby Gad, Peter Schwartz, Tim Gilles, etc., each of whom has brought fascinating insights into their careers and workflow. We've spotlighted local producers and composers, such as 300 Monks Music and Doghouse NY. We've hosted Apple's Pro Audio developers and marketing team. And we've had presentations from software and hardware developers, such as Apogee, Redmatica, Metric Halo, and more. At each meeting, you'll get the opportunity to learn more about how Logic can be applied to your own creative, professional, musical, and auditory endeavors. It's an opportunity to meet other excellent folks as well, so come on down and check it out, before you miss all the fun!
