I hesitated in purchasing this book as I have been burned in the past by books claiming to offer "hints", "tips", or other sundry "pointers". This book, while not really geared for the beginner (e.g., the author assumes a lot about the reader's knowledge of Logic Pro, and doesn't tell the reader how to do things step by step), is an EXCELLENT, succinctly written, DENSE assortment of REAL tricks for intermediate to advanced users of Logic. I've read it twice, and although I am an advanced user of Logic, I found something new in each read that has improved my workflow.

Again, it should be apparent that this is NOT a "tutorial" book. One is referred to the excellent Martin Sitter Apple Training Series book for that; however, once one is "into" Logic, this should be on every user's bookshelf, and the price is right as well.

The book opens with VERY USEFUL recommendations on system optimization AND maintenance that I have not seen in any other book on DAW's. From there the book gives tips on recording, arranging, Logic plug-ins, mixing, and mastering that just can't be found elsewhere, except maybe in a magazine like the UK's Computer Music or MusicTech...

Stephen Bennett has provided us Logic users with a virtual goldmine of GREAT tips for the intermediate to advanced user. I think EVERY Logic user should have this book, and should read it often. Your work with Logic will be immensely more pleasureable---thanks to Mr. Bennett.

I am brand new to Logic and this book is extremely helpful in giving some practical approaches and suggested settings to start with for mixing and mastering CDs. There are only a few places in the book that offer tips that aren't broken down step by step for beginners to follow but generally it does give you the paths to find what you're looking for. It's a bargain and I highly recommend it.

Logic 7 Pro and Express users will find an excellent companion to the program in LOGIC PRO TIPS AND TRICKS, a guide to the powerful Apple Logic program which can be difficult at best. The tips and tricks address these frustrations, showing how to get the most from recording, editing and mixing using the program - and no prior knowledge is assumed. Chapters begin with the basics of successful software setup and optimization and move to workflow management, typical tasks, and the program's hidden functions.

'Logic Pro Tips and Tricks' by Stephen Bennett is a great book to keep by the side of all Logic users. Logic is a confusing application that can befuddle even the most skill Mac users, so having this great reference full of tips and tricks handy is a welcome addition to the library. My only gripe would be the lack of color and having to deal with the grey pictures throughout, but this is a minor annoyance. The audience that would be looking to pick up this book is more concerned with content than layout so it's a trivial gripe in the whole scheme of things.

If you are a Macaddict that uses Logic, you owe it to yourself to pick up this book today and improvement your skillset immensely!!

**** RECOMMENDED

This little book is well worth the buy. It shows you the needed information fast. If you are searching for answers, this is the one you need. Where other books go into the why and how in a more elaborate way, this book shows you the path in an easy way, like a picture book. It showed me some hidden features, which I now use every day.
Great buy.
