Finished as of today when I became certified in Logic Pro. I'm giving this book 4 stars as, while it was good and very informative and a great companion to the course, there were details in the book that were wrong and had I not had the priviledge of a trainer to point these facts out to me I would have learnt techniques that were incorrect. Still, like all the other apple books, a handy aid to have!
Excellent how-to on this very complex and powerful software. Here is the blunt truth about computer manuals — 90 percent of them go unread. This one would have had the same fate had I not had to study for a certification exam. I am very glad I stuck with it. Peachpit's strength is the graphics that help guild the instruction.
Thank you Apple Pro Training Series! As always, you have helped so much. It was way easy to find what I needed to know in this guide and so far it's helped a lot. Woo! Going to finish this album and then consider getting the next one.
Great book to begin to understand a very powerful audio tool. Get through this book and you will have a functional knowledge of Logic 9. I don't think there is a better place to start
