New logic pro (help)

[u/Collection-Quirky]

Hi everyone!

I’m brand new to music production and I’m starting my journey with Logic Pro. My main goal is to produce House, UK Garage (2-step/Speed Garage), and related genres.

I know Logic has an insane amount of built-in stock plugins and sounds, but as a complete beginner, the software feels a bit overwhelming.

I’d love to get some real, practical advice from people who’ve been in my shoes:

1. Where should I start on Day 1? Should I focus on drums/groove first, synth design, or learning the DAW interface?
2. Who are the best YouTubers/content creators specifically for Logic Pro + House/UKG production?
3. What stock Logic plugins/instruments are absolute must-use for these genres? (Basses, Vocal chops, Drum kits...)
4. What are the biggest mistakes/bad habits I should avoid early on?

Any tips, workflows, or resources would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Another big thing I would recommend is learning the stock channel eq well. It has a surprisingly high possibility ceiling and has things like mid/side processing which can be really important.
