The Apple-Certified Way to Learn
Record, arrange, produce, mix, and master music with this bestselling, Apple-certified guide to Logic Pro. Veteran producer and composer David Nahmani uses real-world professional Logic Pro projects to guide you through step-by-step instructions and straightforward explanations, ranging from basic music creation to sophisticated production techniques.
Using a project-based approach, this book shows you how to record audio and software instruments, create musical content, and build arrangements. You’ll explore Session Players to create professional drum, bass, and keyboard performances, and use the Chord track to edit your song’s chord progressions. You’ll use Sample Alchemy, Beat Breaker, and Quick Sampler to create stutter effects and vocal chops, and learn ear-candy production techniques, such as parallel processing and turntable start and stop effects. You’ll use Flex Time to stretch audio and correct the timing of recordings, and you’ll tune vocals with Flex Pitch. You’ll add the warmth and coloration of analog audio equipment with the mix, and automate the song with ChromaGlow, mix a song using EQ, compression, delay, reverb, and other plug-ins to achieve a professional sound. Finally, you’ll automate the mix and prepare the song for distribution on streaming services with Mastering Assistant.

The official Apple Pro Training Series course for Logic Pro 11.
This book is a comprehensive introduction to professional music production with Logic Pro 11. It uses real-world music and hands-on exercises to teach you how to record, edit, create, arrange, produce, mix, and master music in a professional workflow.
The book is organized as 13 lessons that are designed to guide you through the music production process as it teaches Logic Pro.
Lesson 1 establishes a solid foundation of key skills: navigation and zooming. You’ll become familiar with the interface and the various ways to navigate a project.
Lesson 2 walks you through creating a project from the ground up, using Apple Loops and editing regions in the Tracks area to create an arrangement.
In Lesson 3, you’ll explore effect and instrument plug-ins, use the Library to load patches and presets; and save your own plug-in settings.
Lesson 4 dives deeper into typical situations that you may encounter when recording audio sources, such as microphones, guitars, and MIDI keyboards.
Lessons 5 through 8 explore the new Session Players to create virtual drum, bass, and keyboard tracks. You’ll then create your own custom chord progressions in the Chord track to make them play in harmony.
Lesson 9 sets you up to create content by programming MIDI in the Piano Roll, creating drum beats and step automation in Logic’s new Step Sequencer, editing Audio regions; and adding fades and turntable start and stop effects.
In Lesson 10, after separating instruments from a fully mixed audio file, you’ll sample vocals and drums from the separated tracks and import them into Quick Sampler and Sample Alchemy to create a variety of sampler instruments. You’ll play with Beat Breaker to reshuffle and manipulate slices from a guitar arpeggio.
Lesson 11 explores various ways to edit the pitch and timing of your recordings, using Smart Tempo to ensure that all your audio files play at the same tempo; creating custom tempo curves; using groove tracks and Varispeed; time-stretching audio; and tuning vocals.
In Lessons 12 and 13, you’ll study the end processes of music production: mixing, and automating using track stacks and EQ, compressor, limiter, delay, and reverb plug-ins. You’ll export your final mix as a stereo audio file after optimizing it with Mastering Assistant.

- Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2025I am a casual Logic user, but had already experimented with the Session instruments in Logic 11. This book is fairly thorough, and its examples do a great job of walking through the Session instruments. I also found it very readable in covering more basic Logic functionality, where other books (and articles) I had read, were not as clear.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Learning and as an Ongoing Resource for Logic Pro 11+
David Nahmini's Apple Certified Training Series on Logic Pro for me sets the standard for lesson-based learning. My previous history with Logic Pro and David's book dates back to Logic Pro 8 but I'd let my skills lapse until recently when a new musical project has seen me record band rehearsals and want to quickly turn around mixes for the players to learn from, so a for refresh was in order.
Logic Pro 11 brought a number of significant enhancements to the application, including stem splitting, advanced session players, AI-based ChromaGlow and Mastering, taking advantage of Apples M-based silicon. I wanted to be given a solid foundation of the core aspects of music production as well as knowledge on how effectively take advantage of the powerful functions in Logic Pro 11.
David Nahmini's book exceeded these expectations. The lessons are structured incrementally with core activities, eg zoom, repeated across chapters to provide a familiarity with the processes will providing a basis to build further knowledge and skills. The new functions of the Logic Pro are well explained within the context of the lessons.
The downloadable content is well selected to suit the lessons. Since completing the Lessons I'm now using the book as an ongoing resource as I'm working with Logic Pro.
The only glitch with the Book is that Apple changed a couple of things between Logic 11, on which the book is based, and Logic 11.1 and further updates. These are minor and the Author has published errata on the excellent Logicprohelp website, where he is also an active contributor, which I appreciate.
Overall I highly recommend the Book for Logic Pro 11+.
