Great for getting up and running with Logic Pro without having to immediately jump into interfaces or other software specific. Nahmani teaches Logic Pro by showing you how to create and edit tracks, not by going through Logic's features one by one.

Excellent starter book for Logic newbies and worthwhile for veterans to learn the new features of Logic Pro 8. Plus you'll probably pick up some new keyboard shortcuts.

Nahmani also hosts the very excellent logicprohelp.com forum - an excellent companion for learning Logic Pro or Express.
