"Logic Pro 8 Power!" provides a complete introduction and reference for Logic Pro in a volume less than a third the size of the Logic Pro 8 manual. It doesn't attempt to cover everything, but it makes sure to cover the things that you are likely to run into while using Logic to make music, through simple, thorough, and complete explanations. The book also explores why Logic works the way it does, so you'll not only learn the mechanics of how to do something, but you'll really understand what you are doing so when you're ready to explore on your own, you'll be fully prepared and successful. After learning how to set up Logic, you'll learn about the Transport and Arrange, how to record and edit audio and MIDI, how to mix down your song, and finally how to save your song and organize your files. The final chapters provide guidance on the more advanced features of Logic that you'll need as you create more complex compositions and build a more involved project studio. There's something here for Logic users of all skill levels--newbies will learn Logic front to back, while seasoned users will gain lots of tips and tricks as well as a handy desk reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars
Literally...,
By Chico Marx (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logic Pro 8 Power (Paperback)
... Plagiarized right off the original manual. Seriously, just read the manual. This book is nothing more than scaled down version of the Logic manual, only worded so that it appears to be something that is enlightening you. Which is a total waste of money, since you're paying for information that has already been given to you when you bought Logic Studio. Totally useless.

Great Introductions...But...,

This review is from: Logic Pro 8 Power (Paperback)
I don't have Logic yet [I've recorded on it with fellow recording artists, but I don't personally own it], but I plan to purchase Logic Pro 8 in the next month or so. I wanted to read this book and get an idea of what Logic is, its capabilities and what I'm looking forward to doing. I was first introduced to the Power Series a few years ago when Propellerheads' Reason 3.0 was released. The book's [Logic Pro 8 Power] information was great and makes me very confident in knowing what I will need to do when I open Logic for the first time. I now understand with great depth what a chanel strip is, how to sequence in the Arrange Window, Software Instruments, Audio Tracks, etc.
The only thing I would say was a major STRIKE was that the book's photos were not in color. That's the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. 5 stars for content. 1 star scratched for the omitted color. They balance out...

Love This Book,

This review is from: Logic Pro 8 Power (Paperback)
I picked up Logic X from the usually sources, I couldn't believe all the new features!!! I've been keeping my mouth shut for a long time and lying to all my friends about it. Even worse, I couldn't ask any of them for help with it either!
This book is going to blow the doors off of Logic X. Good job Don and Orren. Hope to find time to read the Advanced Chapters soon!
