Logic Pro X 10.1: Apple Pro Training Series: Professional Music Production

"Structured learning" according to Christian Listerus. 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 guidel. T. Hodgman said Old Dog learns new tricks. Just the book I needed to introduce a motivated composer to computer-based music production. The exercises are precisely structured with ample details on what to expect, where to look for various settings, functions and audio controls. My previous experience with music production software was PC-based cubase. There has been a long period since that and the power and consequently the complexities of the programs. Little knowledge transferred from my previous work and so, this book is the "leg up" I desperately needed. Exercises are predicted to take a certain amount of time, so I can establish a lesson plan, according to my time availa. "Great Book" according to RCC. I've only gone through the first few chapters but learned so much. I am a beginner with Logic so this was exactly what I needed. I guess this is why it is the Apple Certified Method.The method is lab based so it's like being in a classroom only without the instructor.
