A Case Study of Applying Logic Pro X To Enhance Pin (Isan Lute) Performance Skills of Isan Folk Music Majors at Roi Et Rajabhat University

Abstract

This research investigates the application of Logic Pro X to enhance Pin (Isan Lute) performance skills among Isan Folk Music majors at Roi Et Rajabhat University. The study addresses traditional pedagogy limitations by integrating Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) technology into the instructional framework to modernize folk music education. Utilizing an action research methodology, the process involved a specific sample of music students practicing through systematic recording, rhythmic looping, and digital amplifier simulation features. To rectify previous structural errors identified during the peer review process, this version clearly defines the research design and the specific pedagogical intervention tools used to facilitate comprehensive self-guided practice and technical skill acquisition.

The results demonstrate that Logic Pro X’s visual feedback and high-fidelity sound synthesis significantly improve students’ technical precision and rhythmic consistency compared to conventional methods. Specifically, the ability to analyze recorded performances in real-time allows for immediate corrective feedback, leading to measurable gains in instrumental proficiency. The findings suggest that blending technological innovation with traditional training maximizes educational effectiveness and addresses the diverse learning needs of contemporary students. Furthermore, this integration provides a robust and scalable model for modernizing folk music education in higher education contexts, ensuring the preservation of cultural heritage through modern digital tools.
