mikepinkerton Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 With no offense to David (who we already know is awesome just for running this site!!!) can someone post an honest review of the book? I read and returned the first in the Logic7 series because it was just too simple. I really enjoyed the Advanced book, but part 1 was a waste of time. Is that the case here as well? -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusaproductions Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 just ordered it and it if is a blank sheet of paper I will have still gotten my moneys worth via this site. Thanks Dave and congrats. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjs Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Congrats Dave! Just ordered at Peachpit! Got a nice 'first time buy' 35% reduction Now what do we have to do to get that discount? I didn't see a first time offer anywhere on the Peachpit site. I'm getting ready to cancel my Amazon "pre-order." Now they say it won't ship till mid-January!

musick Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Now what do we have to do to get that discount? I didn't see a first time offer anywhere on the Peachpit site. I'm getting ready to cancel my Amazon "pre-order." Now they say it won't ship till mid-January! You'll get a mail with a coupon code after registraion at Peachpit, that code needs to be entered during the order and you'll get the discount Got my book today with Fedex, looks good! Will have some reading to do this weekend! So shipment to the Netherlands was quick enough and the discount covered the shipment costs.

dkgross Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 I really enjoyed the Advanced book, but part 1 was a waste of time. Is that the case here as well? -Mike I think, as with any 101 Level book, anyone who's use the product for a while already will find it 'too simple'. That's what Advanced Books are for. 101 books are for learining the basics. I'm already Logic 7 Certified Level 2, but I'm backstepping and 'relearning' L8. I'm only thru a few chapters of Dave's book, and I've already learned a thing or two, and rethought some workflow. And 'unlearning' some old L7 bad habits it's all about what you get out of the learning, as much as it is what you put into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trebor99 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 getting my book on Friday and looking forward to it.. I'm mostly a 101 neophyte but have gotten closer to being intermediate lately.. hoping this book will move me closer to the deep end like most of you guys. BTW Dave: checked out your Helldogmusic site and pretty awesome stuff.. want to get to that level myself someday soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 thanks, Trebor....funny..my site is in SUCH need of an overhaul..Got lots of new music to put up there...just need to change service providers, etc....and that's a pain in the ass have fun with david's book..There's always something new to learn.

musick Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 My findings so far (after going through the book for an hour or so) is that there are a lot of very basic things that most of us already know, but as Dave also said that's to be expected in a 101 book. But also saw a lot of practical tips and tricks that are so important for a fast workflow in Logic and making the books worth it's value. So I'll go through the lessons in the book the next few weeks, more fun as sitting under the Christmas tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bresnark Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 Just to clarify. I've already bought OUR David's book and I'm enjoying it very much. However, as people have pointed out, a lot of it is very familiar. If I also buy the OTHER David's book (http://www.peachpit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0321502884) is this one more advanced - or still rather basic? I want some genius tips I haven't read elsewhere! PS: this is not to say that David's book is anything but brilliant - and I am very glad to own it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkgross Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I'm going to make an assumption that the 'other' David's book is going to be worth it, having gone thru the L7 Advanced book. It will be interesting, however, to see how the 'teaching styles' compare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bresnark Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 I bet the OTHER David doesn't thank us all in his intro. Fair made my heart boom-titty-boom that did... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rounik Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi David Just wanted to add that I've received my copy of your 101 book! Have just started looking through it & it's very nice indeed! I'm enjoying your teaching style a lot. Well done again! Thanks Rounik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musick Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I also like the 'hands on' approach teaching style. Logic and all it's functions are described very well in the Logic manaul, but this book explains how to use them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusaproductions Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 So I just got dave's book in the mail yesterday. I've been using logic daily for the last three years so I feel like i know the program pretty well. In the first two pages I have already learned several cool shortcuts. The first few chapters seem to be geared towards people just getting their feet wet but, at the same time they all have good real world applications and show good technique and work flow. Scanning towards the end of the book there seems to be a lot more advanced sections. I have to say that this book is going to be a great learning tool both for me (a fairly advanced user) and will be indespensible for anyone just getting into this program. It feels much more digestible than the manual and more about making music than I've seen in many of the tutorials I've watched about logic. I have to say that the teaching style and the focus on real world applications makes this book one of the most effective teaching tools for learning a DAW. I'm blown away by how many things in this book I already know thanks to reading practically everyone of Dave's (and others) posts on this site and still surprised by how many cool workflow and techniques improvements I have already seen in the first few chapters. You can really tell that Dave used the input from this site and his workshops to write a book geared toward the producer/ musician/ engineer not the software geek. Can't thank you enough dave, with each tip and hint I learn you make it easier to focus on producing music. Bless Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
