This Book is written by a pro and made easy for us to follow, he knows his stuff and teaches us some invaluable tricks.
Apple Logic Pro is going to be around for a long time, like everything Apple touches it shines and this book is a great start to help you learn alot more that the basics.

Summary: Beyond the basics... but JUST beyond.
Comment: I thought i was going to find inside this book a large amount of tips & tricks about which plug-ins and shortcuts are most useful to take advantage of logic pro at the max. But wasn't it. If you are already a logic user, don't buy this book. You already know everything if you have spent some time trying the different features inside logic. It's just a technical book, it's just like the manual sorted in different way. Manual is sorted by windows/options. This book is sorted by necessities, and the information contained is almost the same.
A good book if you are a bit lazy to explore logic. You have a dvd with examples that you could do yourself. Not a good book if you already know which plug-ins are available in LP8 and what use them for.

Summary: A must-have for all LP8 users!
Comment: This is an excellent book. But it's still just an introduction to Logic Pro 8. The reader is treated as a relative beginner without the instructions being over-simplified. It's well worth the read just to get familiar with the new keyboard shortcuts. Most chapters are updated from the previous `Advanced LP7' book, but with all the new navigation techniques explained. There are several chapters that are completely remade with great projects and fascinating results. Even `The Environment' exercise was actually fun. A more advanced book in this series would be much appreciated, with lots of midi editing and mixing techniques. Also, a demonstration of the `MainStage' and `Logic Nodes' programs that come packaged with LP8 now would be helpful.
