This brand-new Apple-certified guide, reconceived for Logic's new interface, uses all-new projects and media files to show you how to record, produce, and polish your musical creations with Apple's professional audio software. Veteran audio producer David Nahmani uses step-by-step, project-based instruction and straightforward explanations to teach everything from basic music creation to advanced production techniques.Using the book's DVD files and either Logic Pro 8 or Logic Express 8, you'll begin making music in the first lesson. From there, you'll learn to record audio and MIDI, edit sequences, master mixing techniques, and use Logic's software synthesizers, sampler, and digital signal processors to put the perfect aural polish on your audio creations. A special troubleshooting section helps you set up and optimize your studio and Logic system effectively. Whether you're looking to use your computer as a digital recording studio, create musical compositions and cutting-edge surround-sound mixes, or transfer that song in your head into living music, this comprehensive book/DVD combo will show you how. |

Very Good - You need this book to use Logic fully |
|
I have been messing with computer recording for a few years now and just got a Mac and Logic. I used Cakewalk programs and FL Studio prior to getting Logic, but when I tried to use Logic without the book I was pretty lost. The book takes you through the steps to use all the main features of Logic and also explains basic recording techniques that I was not familiar with, but are the difference between an amatuer recording and a pro version. The section on mixing was very helpful and especially useful with songs on the DVD. I learned a lot. I only wish that along with the DVD came video showing you how to use the program. Reading each step and following along with the program takes a while, but really its the only way to learn since you have to push the buttons to hear what happens. |

Best Logic book, for both beginners and more advanced users |
This book is REALLY great. Comes with a DVD with all the lesson projects, loops, etc. that you'll need. The great thing here is that you DO everything rather than just READ about how to do it. Everything happens on your computer in the exact way that the book describes it, as you're going along. I was quite experienced in the basic uses of Logic 8 when I got this book, and I had been a proficient user of Logic 7 before. But I followed the book from the beginning to end, and I learned SO MANY new things. I also really learned things that I kind of thought I knew but didn't really understand, I learned three and four different ways to do the same thing each step of the way, and going through the process allowed me to internalize all of the really useful key commands as I worked through the lessons. I am literally 100 times more proficient at just getting around in the program now -- it's becoming like an extension of my fingers.
Such an amazing, almost infinitely deep program -- ideal for literally ANY type of musician -- and this book is without a doubt the BEST one available, whether you are just starting out or you really want to polish your chops. |

great tutorial for converts! |
|
I recently switched from a 7 version vetran of Sonar to a new Mac/Logic convert. So teaching an old DAWg new tricks hasn't been easy and Logic is full of handy little tricks that you wouldn't guess just opening up the program and starting with it. This book and the companion website ([...]) has been an invaluable resource for me in the transition. |

Excellent startup guide. |
|
Compared to the manuals included with Logic Studio, this guide is FAR easier to understand. Everything is step by step, and even if you're a novice with Logic, like I was, you'll have no problem learning. The book tells you exactly what to click, where to drag, and everything else in between for many, many functions of Logic. While it is a bit pricey, it is well worth it, as you will save a ton of time learning and spend more time having fun with Logic. In about a week, I was proficient in all of Logic's basic functions; if you have used Garageband in the past, it will be a bit easier for you. The book also comes with a disc loaded with sample project files so that you can follow the tutorial word for word, step by step. |
