What our customer's say!

"Excellent Book; But Apple's Logic Studio (Logic 8) Makes it somewhat outdated", After I purchased Logic Express 7, I was told that this book was excellent. I bought it. The book is really helpful when attempting to understand the complexities of Logic Express 7. Indeed, Logic Express 7 is a remarkable program but complex in ways which defy direct explanation: you just have to see it to understand.

That said, Apple has recently released Logic Studio which contains Logic 8, a program which is reported to be vastly more logical, intuitive and powerful and yet simpler to use. For that reason, many people who might otherwise try to learn Logic Pro 7 or Logic Express 7 are now going to be able to buy an upgrade which will vastly reduce the need to understand old or outdated commands, structures or layers of functionality.

Sometimes a book keeps its vitality because programs don't change that much, but in this case, the new generation of Logic is significantly different and may reduce the utility of this book.

"Best. Manual. Ever.", So many tutorials and manuals I read for software leave me confused so I just use them as a backup when there is something in particular that I'm trying to learn. Some may be like me where having a hands-on lesson sinks into the brain much faster.
This book is like taking a class. The lessons are installed on your computer, follow the book at your own speed and you're learning in just minutes. I've heard nothing but good things about this book, so I decided to get it. So glad I did.

"Better Than The Rest", Logic and Logic Express at any given moment can seem very illogical to the user. This book, although written with the idea of (logically) exploring its features and use in a step-by-step manner using prepared lessons with pre-packaged audio and midi files, can also be used to learn the program by reference. That is to say, for example, that if you'd like to learn how to enter Midi, or edit it, you can find the chapters and functions regarding midi, use the example chapters/sections with your own files and learn how to use the program.

If you are already a "seasoned" DAW owner/user, other than to figure out where/how the very basic things you are doing in another program are located/implemented in Logic (transport controls, audio editing windows, import/export of files), you will be better off going straight to the second book in this series, Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Logic Pro 7 (Apple Pro Training) by David Dvorin.

I use another DAW in addition to Logic/Logic Express. Logic Express' documentation severly lacks compared to that in Pro, and I would recommend this series of books for Express users in particular, but they are also valuable for those using Pro. One note, however: It is not generally clear in either of these books whether a given function (for example Groups functionality or the Marquis Tool or Aux functionality) is implemented and available in the Express version of the program and thus no workarounds are given for any 'missing' function, although workarounds generally exist.

Another nice feature of the books is their coverage of the 'plug-ins' that come with Logic and Express, most all of which are quality and useful to Logic and production in general. Especially for those who have not used a DAW before, and can find the use of software instruments, midi implementations and functional plug-ins such as reverb and compression a bit of a mystery. The chapters here will be of value.

There are other books written for learning and using Logic. But for me, this series was the best. I was able to find the information necessary to get me using the program quickly and efficiently (which is not to be taken lightly when it comes to using Logic, which is reknown for a steep learning curve) by example and reference more easily than with other books. Good indexes and clear examples are positives, not knowing whether something is implemented in Express is a negative, and some points just don't seem to be covered so its back to Apple's support forums to figure it out. But all things considered, best in breed in my opinion.

Your mileage may vary...

"A manual you can use.", I was able to start using logic within minutes of flipping through this book. It is well written and laid out in a user friendly manner. I couldn't get anywhere with the manual, and I am use to reading technical babble. Get this book if you want to start using logic quickly, efficiently, and to its full potential.



"Great tutorial - but written for those with experience ", First let me say that this book (and it's partner Advanced Logic) are extremely useful and turn the "get to know the software" headaches into real pleasures. Having said that, this is obviously written by someone who is so familiar with the software that they take some things for granted that aren't obvious to the first-time user.

All in all though it is well worth the investment and comes with its own set of "songs" that walk one through the various features of the software in a well organized way.

"New to Logic? You need this book.", My excitement at being the proud owner of Logic Pro 7 was quickly tempered by the sheer complexity of the software. I spent time with the included documentation and even bought another training book. But it was this book that unlocked Logic's power for me.

Each chapter is a standalone lesson on a different aspect of Logic that takes about an hour to complete. The lessons are well thought out and quickly empower the reader. The author allows the reader to experience one easy success after another which quickly built both my confidence and competence with the software. After completing the first chapter, I smiled wide and was once again excited about using Logic. I found the author's style to be encouraging, easy to read and not condescending.

Printed on high quality paper and signature bound, the book easily lays flat on a desk. The DVD included with the book has two Logic sessions for each chapter: One for use at the beginning of a lesson and one that demonstrates the end result. I recommend this book without reservation to Logic novices and expect that even seasoned pros can learn new tips and time saving techniques.

"Tutorial for Beginners Only", I am new to Logic, but extremely well-versed in other DAW applications. I was looking for a book to cover hands-on issues not specified in the Logic manuals; what I found instead was a series of tutorials that mimic the information found in Logic. If the Logic Reference Manuals don't address a given topic - for example, dealing with latency issues or how to properly archive a project - don't expect it to be addressed here. You're paying for the same content covered again with better hands-on instruction, which may be of great benefit to beginners of the Digital Audio Workstation paradigm.

Bottom line is look elsewhere if you already understand the Reference Manual material.

"Recommended", Being a long time Logic user, i still like to study this book to see which areas of Logic I'm still a novice in. What I like about this book, is the Structure, with the chapters and the Tasks to fulfill. So it get's me closer to a streamlined workflow.

"Helpful Logic", This book truly helped me get through the basics of Logic Express 7. The tutorials allowed me to get used to the everyday functions as well as some of the more advanced features. I would highly recommend it for anyone getting familiar with Logic. The only drawback is that it does take a fair amount of time to get through the tutorials etc.,but it is worth the time.

"OMG!!!", After just one lesson you know you're in for a ride. I just got Logic 7.2 and going thru the "getting started with Logic manual that comes with the software didn't really even compare to Apple Pro Training series. Even if you're handy with software and think you can just figure it out, you'd be doing yourself a huge disservice not owning this book. Hands down the best way to learn Logic 7!!!
