Apparently Point Blank Online's Dubstep Course was so popular that the Web-based music school has decided to make it available to users of Apple Logic, too. No longer limited to users of Ableton Live, the Point Blank Online Dubstep Course is now open to Logic users for enrollment.

The Dubstep Course covers a broad base of dubstep styles and is designed to help you create ribcage rattlers, chilled grooves, experimental dubs, or something edgier if you prefer. According to Point Blank, thanks to the course's video feedback from a pro producer each week -- DVR -- your tracks will improve quicker than you can say "wobble bass."

This course was co-developed by producer / DJ / label manager Jonny Miller and Point Blank's own Danny Lewis. In the Dubstep Course, Miller, who has racked up releases on labels including Aquatic Lab, Sidestepper Recordings, K7, and Twisted Funk, examines a broad range of production techniques from bass heavy dubs through to more techno-influenced flavors. As for Danny Lewis, this Point Blank instructor offers his expertise on sound design techniques and more.

In addition to video feedback, the course's tutors also host a weekly live Master class where students can discuss that week’s content, raise technical questions, and share information. Course materials such as video tutorials, project files, audio resources, DVR, and detailed course notes are available to students for a full year from enrollment.
