PC Publishing has released a new book - Making Music with Logic Pro by Stephen Bennett, a composer and post-production engineer who uses Logic every day.

This book introduces all the features of Apple Logic, but aims to never lose sight of your objective – using the program to make great music. Logic is often considered to be a complicated program, but by taking a step by step 'logical' approach, the book attempts to makes it easy to use the program's features to the full.

It describes the installation of the program, gives a practical introduction to setting up and using Logic and leads you through your first recording. It describes how to use the Arrange page, the Event list, Matrix, Audio and Hyper editors and how to use the Score editor to print out your music.

There are sections on audio and MIDI recording and editing, mixing, Virtual instruments and effects, mastering, effects plug-ins and audio processing. There are chapters on choosing and using MIDI and audio interfaces and choosing the right hardware.

Making Music with Logic Pro costs £19.95.
