Good examples, handy to have.

I consider this a convenience item, since you can find this information in the Logic Pro manuals and on many places on the Web. That said, this is a well written workbook, and they include a disk with Logic projects for the exercises. The disk also has some demo versions of plugins, which I think are a waste of time and space. But other people may find them handy.

A must-have for all LP8 users!

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.
