  • Great basic introduction to Logic Pro X
Format: Kindle
I'm a long-time (20+ years) hobbyist musician (not pro, non-gigging), who has always longed to do more. I've begun the process of setting up a proper home studio and recently purchased Logic Pro X to be my DAW, as Garage Band wasn't quite enough to handle my creative interests. This book teaches Logic Pro X from the beginning (minimal experience necessary) by providing step-by-step tutorials, with very little extended discussion, except to explain what your goals are and what you've just accomplished. At the end of each chapter are review points and questions that would be well suited to a formal course, but I didn't really use them. The downloadable exercise materials were high quality, and useful. After working through this book, I don't feel like an expert by any means, but I do feel like I have a good understanding of the basic functionality and the ability to get working. In fact when a friend and I were making some music last weekend, I felt comfortable diving right in to record our efforts and he remarked on my knowledge of some of the keyboard shortcuts, etc. Having finished this book, I'm ready to learn more, perhaps with some more in depth reference texts, but really the best bet may be to start recording my own stuff. In that regard, it's more than informative--the book is inspirational. I also feel like I know enough to justify the cost of the software, which is quite valuable to me as well. I would recommend this book. ... show more

  • Great book - well written overview of Logic X and using a DAW
Format: Paperback
(Five stars when read with the PDF updates file) Well written and super easy to follow with many great illustrations and simple explanations of some pretty complex topics. Some Logic's areas could probably have books all to themselves so if your expecting a lot of detail on EXS-24 programming or what every plug-in does this one isn't for you. That said a definite must read for anyone starting out, or who's just dabbled on the surface with Logic. IMPORTANT (at least until a new edition is published) if you are using Logic X 10.1 (Update released Jan. 2015) then while you download the various lesson and media files make sure you also download the PDF file with some updated text and illustrations. Nearly every time my system didn't behave as described or my menus/screen looked different it was described in the PDF and was a result of the upgrade. David also runs the logicprohelp website and does answer many of the questions on the forum. Better yet he doesn't deride/patronise those of us who are still learning this stuff or are newbies. ... show more

  • A must have guide!
Format: Paperback
I bought Logic Pro X and felt the program was quite intuitive as it is. However, there are so many features in Logic Pro X that it would be impossible to learn all of them just by using the program without any instruction or training. The great thing about the Apple Pro Training guide is that it takes you through actual projects and typical tasks a recording engineer would do. It is a great learn-by-doing guide. I highly recommend this book to get the most out of using Logic Pro X. There are so many features to Logic that this book is just the starting point! Just learning to use the built in synthesizers is a topic for another book!!! Clear pictures and step-by-step instructions. ... show more

  • Structured learning
Format: Kindle
Didn't think twice when I bought this one, as I had good experience from the David's preceding book about Logic Pro 9. I had some worries, though, that much of the information would be redundant. My worries were needless; the new book primarily focuses on all the new functionality provided with Pro X. This being said, it's still a book that covers/brings all the basic knowledge you need to have to work with Logic. These training books are certified by Apple, so they hold a high quality. I specifically like the consistent step-by-step approach. Everything is explained in detail and illustrated by both pictures and easy-to-follow guidelines. The book comes with comprehensive audio and project material, which is great when you need to be hands-on. I bought the ebook/ iPad Kindle version, so had to download the files from the publisher's web site. It went easy and smooth. All in all, I can only recommend this book. It covers all main aspects of music creation with Logic Pro X, without being cluttered or diving too much into depth. It keeps a good balance between essential information and information for general understanding. Lastly, I need to say that this is not for everyone. If you don't wish to read 500 pages while doing your hands-on exercises, I would recommend to use video-based tutorial services like those provided by macProVideo.com instead. They're really great too! ... show more

  • Clear, sensible, bright with color...
Format: Paperback
I had a previous version of this book for a previous version of Logic, and found it very helpful. I thought that with the many changes in Logic Pro X, this would help me get up to speed with it. It's well written, well proof-read (not something you can count on in these days of electronic publishing), well laid out, easy to understand and well ordered for a progression of learning. I got a kick out of the usual cardboard pouch for a CD or DVD in the back of the book, only this time it conceals a code for a digital download. The use of color screen shots is well done: nothing seems daunting and in fact the color tends to draw the eye and draw one in. ... show more

  • What an awesome book!
Format: Paperback
I am getting ready to take Apples Logic Pro X Certification test so I kind of had to get this book because the test is based on this book. A person won't pass without it (at least that's what I hear). This book should be read by everyone who uses Logic Pro X and not just those who plan on taking the test. David takes you through it all step by step and explains things in a way that keeps you out of trouble. At this time I'm almost half-way through the book and loving Logic Pro X. In fact, I have yet to be stuck in a place where, as I go through the book step by step, following exactly what David says to do - I haven't gotten stuck ... well, at least not for too long. Thank you David for helping me understand Logic Pro X better and for helping me to make great music! ... show more
