Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9: Complete Guide for Music Production - Peachpit Press Paperback with DVD Edition - Perfect for Home Studios & Professional Recording

First of all, my apologies since English is just my second language. Second, please take into account my own level regarding DAW software: I'm just a hobbyst. I began a few weeks ago by trying several softs before getting to Logic Pro 9. I decided to buy Logic Pro because of my previous experience with GarageBand. After getting Logic Pro 9 first thing I could appreciate was that it was completely different from GarageBand. I mean much, but MUCH more complex! I was going from here to there in order to get all kind of tutorials, both video and written ones, without any success at all (they did not accomplished their proposal at least for me). Finally, I got a sample from the book "Apple Pro Training Series: Logic Pro 9 and Logic Express 9" by David Nahmani. By just reading the first chapter and completing the corresponding exercise I was completely aware that it was the kind of book I was looking for: detailed, clearly explained, results completely agreeing with the book figures and views, concise, and so on (just read the many comprehensive reviews in this site). My first concern was to get it as soon as possible, i.e. the e-book version was by far the better one for me, being a foreigner living outside the US.However, there was a big problem: this book is highly dependent on the additional contents that come with it as a DVD with the paper version of the book. The electronic version just make a little warn by noting that a link to a web place in the back of the final part of the book would allow the buyer to get the same content as the printed version. By quickly reading the only few adverse reviews of the book, all of them were related to the point of another buyers being not able of downloading any file at all. Really a difficult decision to do: to got right now the e-book version and eventually get the DVD content, or to buy the printed version and wait at least a couple of weeks for the book and the DVD to arrive to my home (do not forget the shipping price, almost $25 additional bucks for an expedited way of shipping). Well, to make it short: by tossing a coin I decided to buy the e-book version. With my heart beating a little quicker than usual, I checked the web link, I tried it, and finally, believe or not, I got the thirteen files from Peachpit publisher's site in no time at all. A couple of hours for the almost 1.6 GB of additional contents! So, I highly recommend this book for any new comer to Logic Pro 9. Additionally, without leaving aside another reviewers opinions, my own experience downloading the accompanying files was really a premium one. And remember that you can always get your book back to Amazon and get the printed version if you are unlucky downloading the DVD content. So, get it now and start enjoying a great beginners book for Logic Pro 9!
