This book is the brand new, updated, and revised edition (released 2015-0915), based on the latest version of Logic Pro X v10.2. "Logic Pro X - How it Works" and its companion book "Logic Pro X - The Details" are the first and only up-to-date books on the market for Logic Pro X v10.2 (The book cover might still show 10.1 due to Amazon's database update cycle). Other Logic books on the market are still based on older versions of Logic Pro X, which is problematic. Due to the many changes in the recent Logic updates, older Logic books are confusing to the reader with their incorrect descriptions of features and workflows.

"Logic Pro X - How it Works" was not only the first manual available for Apple's new music production app "Logic Pro X", it is the most comprehensive one. On 396 letter size, full color pages, the  author explains the app in great detail with additional background information that is often required to fully understand specific features.
Many of the information regarding the functionality of Logic Pro X is found neither in the official documentation nor anywhere else. Logic Pro X is a very deep and sometimes complex application that users (beginners and pros alike) often struggle with. This is where the unique approach of the Graphically Enhanced Manuals series come in. No matter how complex or complicated the subject is, the author provides easy to understand graphics and diagrams that let the reader understand and master the material.
The follow-up books "Logic Pro X - the Details (part 1)" and "Logic Pro X - The Details (part 2) cover the more advanced topics

What are Graphically Enhanced Manuals (GEM)?

They're a new type of manual with a visual approach that helps you UNDERSTAND a program, not just LEARN it. No need to read through 500 of pages of dry text explanations. Rich graphics and diagrams help you to get that "aha" effect and make it easy to comprehend difficult concepts. The Graphically Enhanced Manuals help you master a program much faster with a much deeper understanding of concepts, features and workflows in a very intuitive way that is easy to understand.
