Description

This book is also available as a pdf download for $15 from my website DingDingMusic.com/Manuals The only "Graphically Enhanced Manuals" for Apple's new GarageBand version 10. "GarageBand X - How it Works" from the GEM series (Graphically Enhanced Manuals) explains Apple's popular music production application "GarageBand" with rich illustrations and diagrams that are not found in any other manual (this is the only manual available). This 321 pages letter size book presents this software application in great detail with that easy to understand, visual approach. What are Graphically Enhanced Manuals (GEM)? They're a new type of manual with a visual approach that helps you UNDERSTAND a program, not just LEARN it. No need to read through 500 of pages of dry text explanations. Rich graphics and diagrams help you to get that "aha" effect and make it easy to comprehend difficult concepts. The Graphically Enhanced Manuals help you master a program much faster with a much deeper understanding of concepts, features and workflows in a very intuitive way that is easy to understand. Testimonials: Readers love this unique way of learning applications no matter how easy or complicated the app might be. Here are some responses from satisfied customers:"I wish all the manuals on software were like yours!" - Giovanni C."You have the gift of making difficult concepts understandable" - William B."Your style is the most informative and clear I have ever seen" - Mark D."Great stuff Edgar! I bought your other Logic GEM books and love em..." - freeform"Thank you so much for your fantastic guides; I've learned so much!" - Brandon B."I love your manuals." - Eli.

    • Excellent Book!!
I must say, I’m impressed by this book series. I’ve used GarageBand for basic projects but thought it was time to dive a little bit deeper with this new version of GarageBand. The book series was highly recommended to me by a friend, so I ordered the GarageBand, Logic Remote and Logic Pro X books (in case I wanted to upgrade right away). You can save money on Amazon by ordering a whole set. I admit I was not sure about ordering all three books considering the higher prices but reading through them, I can say, they are worth every penny. It makes learning really easy. The books have extreme attention to detail, and the more advanced sections are very well explained with graphics that are helpful. For the typical GarageBand, aka casual music producer, like me, all the necessary background information is provided to explain and understand the functionality. But still, it doesn’t feel like its dumbed down for the beginner. Every little detail is in this book and can assist a beginner or a person with experience. I’m sure I will master GarageBand with the help of this well written book. Note that the pdf files are cheaper, but call me old fashioned, I like the feel of a printed book. Highly recommend it. ... show more

    • No better way to learn GarageBand X
I have the Logic Pro X book from this “Graphically Enhanced Manuals” series. A much better way to learn an app than with the usual text-based books out there. Now a friend of mine started with the new GarageBand app and I thought this book would make a nice gift. I browsed through it when it arrived and it is written in the same visual style like the Logic book. My friend will be up to speed in no time and sure he will understand every aspect of GarageBand when he finishes this excellent book. ... show more

    • The visual approach works for me beautifully
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I learn much more efficiently if I am …. ... told not just how to do it, but also why. …. presented with clear visual aids, charts, graphs, that use color to highlight various features, which are then fully discussed with reference to the visuals …. offered the whole story about the development of audio recording, editing and mixing, (from reel-to-reel tape recorders to the latest DAWs) … able to choose what sections to read at different times depending on my purposes For all these reasons I find that Edgar Rothermich’s manuals are the best I’ve ever seen. To make things even better you have a choice of buying his 300 page book for about $ 48.00 or download the whole text in PDF format for $15.00. I bought GarageBand X in a PDF format and I liked it so much that I also went ahead and bought the book so that I can write on the pages . When the time is right, I intend to get Logic Pro X as well. I would be dead in the water without this manual. ... show more

    • Not Suitable for Novices.
A useful reference text for intermediate to experienced GarageBand users, that is completely inappropriate for novice users. The author seems to feel that a "cookbook" approach to a first project is incorrect, well he's wrong. An in-depth recitation on how to resize various windows is out of place for someone who is already mystified by the application. He does a good job on explaining the basics of music recording, and then jumps wholeheartedly into the minutiae of the various aspects of the program. Who cares about file structures before having created workable project? ... show more

While unquestionably a well thought out guide to how each of the garageband controls operate, this was not the product i needed, but i will keep it as a terrific reference. still looking for the guide that will walk me through actually creating projects using loops, drummer, and the other song creation functions of GB 10.1+. ... show more
