One moment, please.
Thanks for your interest in my book. Please use the " Look inside " feature by clicking on the book cover to browse through the book. This way you will get an idea about my unique concept of "Graphically Enhanced Manuals". As you can imagine, I spend a lot of time creating those graphics and diagrams to demonstrate and better visualize the functionality of the various software applications I cover in my books.

The Graphically Enhanced Manuals help you master a program much faster with a much deeper understanding of concepts, features and workflows in a very intuitive way that is easy to understand. I would like to see the author create a project and build it up as he explains the controls. Having been in education for over a dozen years, my experiences tells me that most people learn from doing, not just reading and unfortunately this book is more the latter in direct contrast to its claims.
Yes, it explains what each control does, but not how it works in the context of an actual project. This book is far and away the best explanation of Logic Pro that I have found. Logic has the deserved reputation for being a powerful but obscure program, especially to non-professional musicians like me. The book begins with an explanation of Logic's architecture using an excellent analogy, and I found understanding the architecture to be key to understanding Logic's multifaceted and obscure UI.
While this old document has many typos, it is also an excellent description of how Audio Midi Setup works, especially with regard to Network MIDI connections. After many attempts to get it working, Edgar's explanation helped me understand the architecture of this as well.
Get this book, and get the MIDI description from his website. You won't regret it. Very useful! This graphically enhanced manual really is superior to anything I've ever tried to read in the realm of a software tutorial book. Edgar explains things really well and the use of the numbering system to bring you exactly to where in the graphic the words on the page are describing is really a wonderful tool.
I would encourage Edgar in the future to use different shapes and colors for these link symbols. The book I purchased utilizes numbers 1 thru whatever may be necessary in a black circle. It is sometimes difficult to find the number in the graphic and perhaps if different colors or shapes were used that might be easier but this is still a 5 star book. But not what I thought I was getting. This book is fantastic for someone that wants to know exactly what is on the software and how it works.
But it does not give you step by step instructions on how each to use the individual applications of the program. Such as how to record your own voice and create harmonies.
Which is what I was hoping for. That information will hopefully be in the follow-up book. Which is set to be released soon. I hope. So if you want to know the behind the scenes of everything you can click on, I highly recommend this book. I must say, these GEM books are amazing, so much better than all the other Logic books that I've seen that just explain one feature after another and are often very dry to read through.
Their visual approach is more engaging and I actually understand the features and functionality and can implement them right away. This makes the learning process so much easier, and there is a lot to learn. If you want to learn Logic I can highly recommend this book. I'm in the process of switching from DP to Logic and came across these books in the Graphically Enhanced Manuals series.
One thing I realized right away are all the graphics and diagrams that you usually don't find in a typical user manual for software apps. I know how a sequencer works, but I had to find out how Logic works differently than the one I'm used to.
Those diagrams make it very clear and I'm up and running in no time. Its visual!! This is the way to learn an app. Highly recommended. See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. This is a great book to really understand how Logic Works. Report abuse. This is quite a good book for Logic newbies like me. It does explain the concepts of Logic X Pro well and is well illustrated. Logic includes a robust and full-featured piano roll editor for working with MIDI.
Simply double click any MIDI region on the timeline to bring up the note editor in the bottom panel. Here you can adjust note pitch and length, quantize your performance and manipulate other MIDI information like velocity or channel. The piano roll also features tabs for the Score Editor and Step Editor to give multiple views to see your musical information. Flex Time is a similar editor for rhythmic material. If you need to bring percussion or other elements onto the tempo grid , Flex Time can do it quickly and transparently.
Keeping track of your takes, edits previously used material is an important job in any audio project. Logic Pro makes it easy with dedicated features for comping, grouping tracks and managing alternative files. You can also easily create folders of tracks called Track Stacks and store alternatives to make sure your sessions stay clean and organized. One of the biggest benefits of Logic Pro is its excellent suite of built-in plugins.
Reverb is one of the most important mixing tools for producers. There are many different styles out there and plenty of third party plugins to choose from. But you might not even need to bother with these with the built-in Logic Reverbs. Space Designer and Chromaverb handle the two most important reverb types —convolution and algorithmic. Space Designer comes with an excellent collection of impulse response files for modeling real acoustic spaces. Chromaverb can handle your dreamy algorithmic reverbs with a unique approach based on the absorption of sound in a circular structure.
Choose from additive, virtual analog, spectral or granular sampling oscillators for unlimited sonic possibilities. But if you just need a simple, user-friendly synth with classic sounds ready to go, Retro Synth is perfect. Its analog, sync, wavetable and FM synthesis modes give you access to the most common vintage synthesis tones in one package.
Based on the extremely handy Quick Sampler plugin, Drum Machine Designer lets you build custom kits based on any sample with ease. You can also plug in the awesome Drum Synth voice or any other plugin in any pad slot to create unique drum machines. Logic Pro takes the same approach to guitar plugins, with dozens of excellent amp models, virtual cabinets and stompboxes available in the Amp Designer plugin.
At a substantially lower price point than many other DAWs, Logic should be on your list to consider. Michael Hahn is an engineer and producer at Autoland and member of the swirling indie rock trio Slight. Gear guides, tips, tutorials, inspiration and more—delivered weekly. Music Gear. DAW Guides.
