Apple Pro Training Series : Logic Pro 7 and Logic Express 7 (2nd Edition) (Apple Pro Training)

Summary: COMPLETELY rewritten for Logic 7!!! Pleasantly surprised!
Review: I was a HUGE fan of Sitter's first edition training book for Logic 6, as indicated in my review of that book. I am a seasoned semiprofessional who uses Logic Pro 7 on a daily basis (and I have been a user going back to the C-Lab notator products which I used on my Atari ST's way back in the late 80's), but I still found little tidbits and hints, workflow ideas, and features that either I wasn't using or that I wasn't using efficiently; therefore Sitter's first book was a true blessing in disguise, even though touted for "beginners", it was truly for "everyuser". In fact, I considered it a paradigm for books of this nature...it covered almost all features of this complicated program in a very readable, fun, and staged fashion.

So it was with great anticipation that I awaited delivery of the newest version for version 7 of Logic. I have been amazed at all of the new stuff in Logic 7, much of it not only new, but trend-setting, in fact. The new book covers practically all these new features; e.g., Apple Loops, Global tracks, etc., and more, in Sitter's easy-to-follow style.

I have already gone through the book twice and picked up on tons of new stuff that I have implemented into my daily work with Logic 7. If you are a user, whether beginner, intermediate, or advanced, you would be hurting yourself (and your clients!) by not reading this book at least once! This is true especially if you want to get the most out of Logic 7's new features, as the book does an excellent job at steering you through them via GREAT tutorials. I was expecting to see the book for version 6 with a few extra chapters for version 7, but I was pleasantly surprised...THE BOOK HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REWRITTEN FOR VERSION 7!

The book comes with a DVD chock full of song files, tutorial files, AND 100's of FREE APPLE LOOPS! These loops alone are worth the price of the book!

I said it in the past review, and I'll say it again...If you only buy one book to help you with Logic 7, this is the one, by far! The others are simple rehashes of the manual...dry, boring, and in some cases, useless. Sitter's book will not disappoint.

Now, where's that book for Advanced users that I've seen available for preorder???!!!
