"Advanced logic pro 7"
It's a wonderful book. It's a real help for Logic pro 7

"(In italian) Ottimo per l'amatore e il professionista"
Ho trovato le 13 lezioni del libro utilissime -- oltre che molto ben fatte e ben scritte -- per razionalizzare l'apprendimento delle funzioni evolute di Logic Pro: dalla padronanza del Project Manager al setup di uno studio virtuale completo, all'ottimizzazione della navigazione attraverso marker, locatori e shortcut da tastiera fino all'assemblaggio di una traccia audio completa ritagliando con precisione le parti migliori di più "take" diversi dello stesso passaggio e la sincronizzazione di audio e video. Tutti i tutorial sono corredati di file inclusi nel DVD allegato.

Quando l'ho comprato io (agosto 2005) da Amazon costava meno che sul sito di Apple.

"no demo version in this book"
Unlike its predecesor, this book doesn't comes with a demo version of Logic 7. It says on the description demo version, but it doesn't specify of what, those demo version are of several plug-ins.

"Must Have!"
If you are serious about learning all the intricacies of Logic Pro 7 this book is a must have.

"Outstanding! Covers all the bases!"
After using Martin Sitters book, "Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express 7: Professional Music Creation and Audio Production", I read the promise of an Advanced version of the series. As I wrote in my review of that book here on Amazon, I have been eagerly awaiting this one's arrival, as I consider myself an intermediate/advanced user, as I use Logic 7 on a DAILY basis in my own studio on various styles of music.

So, let me say from the outset---David Dvorin does not disappoint!

This book is written in the same format of Sitter's book---that is, well-written tutorials covering a LOT of information in each chapter well-geared towards practical use. This one starts with a couple of chapters on more efficient use of Logic and getting your interfaces set up efficiently. I predict that most "advanced" users will have already set up Logic's "Audio Configuration" to work with their particular interfaces, but there is much more than that in these chapters, including suggestions on how to make your personalized setups portable, just in case you move from studio to studio or computer to computer, as I frequently do when recording a live event.

From there, there are a few chapters on Advanced Production techniques, including efficient ways to manage multiple takes of either MIDI or audio data, and how to work with Apple Loops, as well as how to generate your own. Not hard, btw, but nice to step through it a couple of times. There is in depth information to cover some of the more complicated, newer plug-ins, like Sculpture (whew!) and Ultrabeat, as well, as many fine those to be the most daunting of all Logic's plug-in instruments.

Then there are great tutorials covering "advanced" editing techniques, which I found to be the most useful parts of the whole book. Nice, elegant tutorials on forming great comps in Logic, using markers in many different ways, and doing more advanced MIDI editing.

Then there are 3 great chapters on Mixing techniques, involving bus use and groups, as well as incorporating outboard gear and more advanced automation methods.

The book closes with a chapter on notation and film scoring.

All in all, the perfect complement to Sitter's book. Trust me, with the Logic 7 Pro EXHAUSTIVE manuals, and these 2 books, no Logic user need look elsewhere for information. All other books are superfluous. Don't waste your time or money on them.
