Book Reviews of Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9
Book Review: I wish all textbooks were written like this one
Summary: 5 Stars
I recently switched to Mac and started using Logic Pro 9 as my primary DAW. I had many frustrating moments trying to achieve the effective workflows I was used to from before. This book was my savior.
For a good overview of the contents, I recommend using the 'Look Inside' feature (click on the product image), the table of contents (beginning on page vi) is quite descriptive.
I would love it if every text book were as clearly structured as this one. Each lesson begins with an overview of which project files (included on a CD with the book) you will be using, how long the lesson will approximately take, and what skills you will learn. Then there's a short introduction giving you some background info and showing why the skills you are about to learn are important (this last point is crucial to preparing your brain to take in the information that follows). The chapters go on with step by step instructions. Here, as well, the author first explains what you will achieve, then takes you through it. This helps you put everything into context, or, if you're confident enough, you can skip the individual steps and see if you can achieve the goal by yourself. At the end of every chapter are test questions reviewing the most important aspects of each lesson.
There's an abundance of screenshots (in color!) that help you make sure you're doing the correct things. I just finished the book, and I was never ever lost in its course.
This guy knows his didactics!
What really made this book fun is this: Many lessons are based on project files of high quality songs (e.g. Mitral Valve Prolapse by Joe Hedges). And these lessons let you do something important within the arrangement of these songs. This means you're constantly listenting to something that's entertaining you, and you're making it even better! What could be cooler?
Throughout the lessons you get to know a wide variety of musical styles, electronic music, r&b, pop, rock... This way you also get an initial feel for what's important in different genres.
If you want to set a really firm grounding for your Logic Pro 9 or Logic Express 9 skills, I highly recommend this gem of a book!
