Good revision for the Apple exam. Easy to read. The exercises are useful, if a bit boring.

This book presented a great introduction to Logic Pro X. It is really helpful that the book includes sample data and step-by-step instructions for various tasks you might want to perform within the program. I appreciated that the book covered multiple ways of doing things. There were a few places where the behavior didn't match up exactly to what was described in the book. Usually this was related to UI changes (differences between the version used when the book was written and the latest version which I have installed on my MacBook), but I was usually able to figure the difference out and get the example working as expected. It's a good resource if you want to learn Audio Sequencing using Logic.
