Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Logic Pro 7
Book Review: Outstanding! Covers all the bases!
Summary: 5 Stars
After using Martin Sitters book, "Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express 7: Professional Music Creation and Audio Production", I read the promise of an Advanced version of the series. As I wrote in my review of that book here on Amazon, I have been eagerly awaiting this one's arrival, as I consider myself an intermediate/advanced user, as I use Logic 7 on a DAILY basis in my own studio on various styles of music.
So, let me say from the outset---David Dvorin does not disappoint!
This book is written in the same format of Sitter's book---that is, well-written tutorials covering a LOT of information in each chapter well-geared towards practical use. This one starts with a couple of chapters on more efficient use of Logic and getting your interfaces set up efficiently. I predict that most "advanced" users will have already set up Logic's "Audio Configuration" to work with their particular interfaces, but there is much more than that in these chapters, including suggestions on how to make your personalized setups portable, just in case you move from studio to studio or computer to computer, as I frequently do when recording a live event.
From there, there are a few chapters on Advanced Production techniques, including efficient ways to manage multiple takes of either MIDI or audio data, and how to work with Apple Loops, as well as how to generate your own. Not hard, btw, but nice to step through it a couple of times. There is in depth information to cover some of the more complicated, newer plug-ins, like Sculpture (whew!) and Ultrabeat, as well, as many fine those to be the most daunting of all Logic's plug-in instruments.
Then there are great tutorials covering "advanced" editing techniques, which I found to be the most useful parts of the whole book. Nice, elegant tutorials on forming great comps in Logic, using markers in many different ways, and doing more advanced MIDI editing.
Then there are 3 great chapters on Mixing techniques, involving bus use and groups, as well as incorporating outboard gear and more advanced automation methods.
The book closes with a chapter on notation and film scoring.
All in all, the perfect complement to Sitter's book. Trust me, with the Logic 7 Pro EXHAUSTIVE manuals, and these 2 books, no Logic user need look elsewhere for information. All other books are superfluous. Don't waste your time or money on them.
Summary of Apple Pro Training Series: Advanced Logic Pro 7
If you want to do more than simply use Logic to improve the audio in your video projects-if you want to start actually creating and producing music with it-this Apple-certified guide provides the key. Whether you're a composer, producer, songwriter, engineer, studio programmer or simply want to create and produce pro-quality music in your Logic-based home studio, you'll find all the self-paced, step-by-step instruction you need here to begin creating your audio master works immediately. As both a professional musician and a former employee of eMagic and Apple (the former and current makers of the software), author David Dvorin knows Logic like no one else. Here, he uses project-based tutorials to reveal all of its secrets, including its newest: advanced DSP techniques and the ability to layer MIDI instruments and split channels. In short order you'll be scoring and composing; jamming with Logic's software instruments; employing advanced mixing, editing, and production techniques; and more. A companion CD includes trial Logic plug-in software and the lesson files needed to complete the book's exercises.
