Martin Sitter wrote this Apple Pro Series book on music creation and audio production with Logic Pro and Logic Express 7. The book contains a DVD-rom. Sitter starts with the most simple and works his way through most of the programs’ basic and medium-difficult features. He starts with setting up the Logic environment, then the MIDI setup.

These topics are difficult enough by themselves, but the author manages to make them clear, even to a less experienced audience who are stepping up from GarageBand, for example.

In the next chapters, Sitter discusses the audio configuration window, and creating audio for movies. One of the last chapters covers surround sound and how to set up Logic and the system you’re using for maximum results.

Although Sitter’s tutorial book only scratches the surface of Logic Pro’s many capabilities and features, the subject is hard and complicated enough to fill up the 580 odd pages without ever running out of steam.

By the time the author reaches the more complicated functionality like the movie/sound synchronization, he also shortly covers extra features like the Fader, Using Sends, and the Hyper Editor.

When you’ve worked your way through Sitter’s book, you should have a thorough understanding of how Logic 7 works, what you can do with it, and how to accomplish most sound creating and editing tasks. However, if you want to learn about software instruments and advanced topics like scoring to video, you need to look further than Sitter’s excellent tutorial.
