Format:Paperback
I can say with some certainty that I've never read a text book which has made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.
This book changed that. It really opened my eyes to just how powerful Logic is as an audio production tool.
The lessons are simple and easy to follow and are accompanied by project files on the enclosed DVD which truly allow you to gain hands-on experience of Logic almost immediately. Just to clarify, the DVD does NOT contain how-to videos, something that a few people have been disappointed by in other reviews I've read. Speaking from experience, how-to videos are a fat waste of time. I started watching a complete Logic video guide before buying this book only to realise that none of it was sinking in because I was zoning out in front of the computer screen. Surprise surprise, by the time I'd finished lesson one of this book I already felt I'd learned more than I did in the 2-3 hours I'd wasted sat watching the Logic video guide. Each to their own, though.
That aside, this book has been compiled incredibly well and it's clear that a lot of time and effort went into producing each lesson. The screen shots in the book match EXACTLY what I see on-screen and each instruction follows on from the last without ever leaving me in the dark or asking myself "what... are they talking about??". Aside from a couple of minor typos I really cannot fault this book.
BUT
Despite its 400-500 odd pages, it really is only a beginners guide. It covers the core components of Logic extremely well but left me asking a lot of questions. Fortunately, I guess that's why they wrote a followup book, Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 9 Advanced Music Production: Creating and Producing Professional Music, so they could convince us to splash out yet more cash to satisfy our hunger to learn more.
Well, they convinced me.

worked with cubase before, switched over to logic, and this book was the best kickstart i could get. if you've worked with DAWs before, you'll get through this book in a couple of days, and you'll feel like you've worked with logic forever. if you're new to DAWs, you'll spend atleast a couple of weeks with this book, but you'll be amazed of how much you'll learn. 10/10

So, the book is OK and covers most of the relevant features of LP, but overall it a bit of a let down for me. I use to work with cubase and also bought a book to guide me through it, and it covered a hell of a lot more stuff than this book and in greater detail.
If you already know the basics of working with this type of recording software, forget it, there is no point in owning this book. Instead just read the little booklets and .pdf that came with LP and check out Sound on Sound pages (and other sites / forums) for more detailed explanations of key features in LP. If you are new to the game then it covers the features easily and well enough. Depends what you are after.

Great Book for Level One Certification
I bought this book for preparation to the Apple Logic Level One Certificate.
If you study it, you pass. That's a 5/5.

Indispensible
If you are new to Logic Pro, this teaches you so much.
I think it could be usable by someone brand new to recording but it moves forward pretty quick. Read more
