Aside from that, I was formerly an employee at apple where I was often called in as a specialist to teach people (you guessed it) how to use logic. Apple didn’t buy out Logic until version 7. Now, if your nor convinced that this was unfair, then consider that I have been using Logic Pro since version 3, which if any of you remember was available for Windows, as it was owned by the company that created it originally, emagic from germany.

They wanted someone associated and certified directly by Apple right away, so they fired me and gave someone else the job overnight. My pay was fair, but not enough to make dropping a couple grand feasible, that is if I was even given the option to begin with. They seemed real hungry for the deal to go through, as would anyone who owns a school I’d imagine… Long story short, I was fired out of nowhere because Apple demanded that a teacher of any logic class should be ‘Logic Pro certified,’ which, ofcourse requires attending a course and completing a series of tests that costs a couple thousand dollars to take. At some point, the higher ups at the school started talking endorsement deals with Apple.

I was well liked by student body and staff alike, and anyone who went there and took my class would come out with a whole new world of ways to use Logic. I took pride in that job, cared for my student’s success and knew my topic of teaching inside and out. I was teaching at a production school (which will go unnamed for the sake of this post) where I taught music production using Logic pro, beginning through advanced. One example of a company pushing their customers in a very unfair way for the sake of aggressive marketing schemes is a story that happened to me some years back.
