This book is a gem. For anyone beginning their exploration of Logic Pro, and for those who want to expand on their existing knowledge of Logic, it is a must have. A great addition to the Logic manuals.

For a first-time Logic Pro user this book is essential. No matter how much help text is embedded in software, the handiness of a thorough manual makes problem-solving easy. The online option from Peachpit is a bonus, and with upcoming technology (iPad) this could be a boon to the Training Series.

This book made using Logic Pro 9 a breeze. It was clear in its directions and provided pictured examples. I would recommend this book to anyone using Logic Pro 9!

I’ve been a Logic User since “the beginning” on my Atari ST, and I’ve reviewed the various iterations of this book over time since Apple bought the company from Emagic, Logic’s initial German developer. As I’ve seen authorship of this book change with the version changes of the program, I’ve seen absolutely no drop off in the quality that initially led me to give Sitter’s version of the training program (for version 6 or 7..can’t remember which I reviewed off the top of my head) a glowing 5 star review. I make it a point to go through each page and every tutorial for each and every review I write, and while there are a few more typographical errors than I’ve seen before, and some differences in some keystrokes/menu choices later in the book that must’ve changed later in the “shipping version” of Logic 9, there is little to complain about here, except to wish for more! Each and every chapter gives one a VERY practical lesson in Logic’s use that can benefit one’s music production immediately. The book does a great job accenting the new features of Logic 9 while still covering all of the basic navigation (although I missed seeing chapters on setting up the workspace, environment, and setting up screensets—these were in the older books) and properties of the “core” program.
And, DON’T skip out on this even if you’re an experienced Logic user. Logic 9 is different enough and comes with enough new features to warrant spending a few hours with this book. While online video lessons seem to be all the rage (and I do find them useful on occasion), I still learn much better and more actively with book in hand and using interactive files. This format simply is the best method there is, and this goes for all of Apple’s “official” certification series books. There is simply no better method for self-teaching these programs.
OK, I’m ANXIOUSLY awaiting the “Advanced” version now to see how good it can be! HURRY UP with that, please! Would like to see some coverage of Mainstage in one of the books, as that part of Logic is a VALUABLE resource, for sure.

This is a great book, very easy to understand and organized in a smart way.
The illustrations are clear and to the point. There’s a lot of practical information here, and what I like the most is the emphasis the author makes on working effectively (keyboard shortcuts, etc.). Even though it’s a technical workbook, there’s a very strong sense that the author cares a lot to make Logic Studio very accessible to the reader.
Highly recommended.
