New to LE and recording. What reference text is best to read?

I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro loaded with LE8. I have not used recording software before but have done some recording in a studeo two decades ago.
What reference books are best to read to help someone using LE?
Thanks in advance. I love the Macbook Pro so far. 4G of ram installed which will help.

I didn't mention video tutorials because you inquired about reading material specifically. However, the sflogicninja videos are great . . . the guy's got a good sense of humor and really know what he's talking about.
There's also macprovideo and, as you mentioned, Groovebox Music. I have one from each of them and they're both good but I especially like Groovebox's Logic 8 Explained. It goes over everything quite clearly.
Re: the Shure mics . . . they're classics. Hard to go wrong. I've used an SM-57 for years on stage and now in my home studio.

  • I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

    I'm going to save my old Hi8 tapes on a hard disk using final cut pro x, to save it for the future. But how shall I export it, and in what will be the best quality to save it in?

    Hi Carsten...good luck with your project.. I had just about as many Video8 & Hi8 tapes as
    you that I digitized and eventually brought into FCPX..took me many months not weeks
    to do so,BTW, as each tape was 60-90 minutes in lenght...and many hundreds of
    gigab ytes of storage ( uncompressed AVI files)..it's tedious work unless you plan to farm
    it out to a processing house...also regarding eventual storage format...remember
    Hi8 is 400 lines or about 540X480 in todays resoultion metrics..you can't make hi-def out
    of source that starts out as 400 lines...in my case I rewrapped the avi files into .mov
    containers and imported the mov files into FCPX where I got rid of the hundreds of
    minutes of Colorado mountain landscapes to get to that one minute shot of the kids
    on horseback  ( late 80's for most of my archives)..so its a job..scouring thru 30X90 min
    of source to not miss those precious memories takes diligence and hard work but its worth
    it; eventually I encode the uncompressed video I want to save in H.264 format Staandard
    Def not HiDef

  • New to MacBook and wireless, What to do?

    Help, I am new to laptops and the wireless connection. I do not even know where to begin. How do I get wireless service? Do I need to buy any other special hardware to get connected? Do I have to subscribe to a wirless provider? If so, which is a good one?
    As you can see I really do not know where to begin. Please help.
    Any Suggestions

    if you're that much of a beginner (you don't even have internet access at your house?), i would suggest you get your local cable company come out and install high speed internet into your house and while they're at it, have them set up a wireless router. a wireless router is a piece of equipment that takes the internet and broadcasts it throughout your home. after you've gotten those two things set up, your macbook will recognize the wireless router automatically and you're online.
    you're going to need a bit more help than what a forum can give you. good luck!

  • Help to get my photo art edit software working in my new computer.i saved a backup before my old computer died. i have a new computer now, and is what i backed up, all i need to make my new computer have what i had in my old/dead computer?

    help. am not a tech savvy person.
    i do art with a win vista computer filledwith photoshop cs3 and tons uf unbelievable plugins that were given to me by a now deceased ps wizard.
    that computer died. i now have a new computer, but it is of no value to me without the same art setup that i backed up into an ext hard drive.
    i have wetechies @ 300 usd/year trying to remotely do that. day 2, so far no success.
    i cannot afford to buy all that. i have cancer also, and with 6 months to live, friends have generously bout me a great computer for my art needs.
    but i need more than a computer. and i need more than photoshop. i need the programs n things in my plugins .
    does anyone know how to do that?
    my wetechies from india are on day two, and ony have given me a 1.16 kb pd icon!  then asked me if that was fine.
    i said  to them it is fine if it works! which it did not.
    tody is day 2, person 2 attempting this.
    is this an impossible feat?
    they are not familiar with plugins, but they do comp tech stuff.
    my cs3 extended and the plastic case bearing the serial #, bought for 900 usd, were stolen the night i was in the hospital having my mastectomy.
    i had the ps3 inside the plastic case in my living room drawer. when i came home, there  was a psc ( not extended )  in one of the 2 computer drawers.
    i am not sure why. but in the second drawer was my chest xray from the hospital???? i suppose ,since i never looked at it myself, it may have had my personal info needed for the thief to pose as me. also, my purse, with passport,all forms of id and my keys, were stolen on another day . but i have bad credit, so good luck to them.
    i want to spend my remaining time doing art. I even entered an art competition for charity. sponsored by Lilly oncology.
    i know of no one who did art in my building at the time which was in florida, where i was having my chemo and radiion, and first surgery.
    that computer, was broken, by someone trying to fix it. perhaps the only person i know who wopuld have an interest in the plugins as he was a photog and was familiar with the photog and ps wizard who supplied me my art stuff.
    wheredo i go from here, inexpensively, i was gifted the computer of my choice. it is awesome for art. but i wanta photoshop in it, which i do not use for much, but i do use the plugins.
    question-  is it true that my new 64 bit computer with win7 is compatible with cs3 and higher? as well as plugins tha are 32bit not 64 bit?@

    Whether your music purchases will be in the cloud will depend upon what country that you are in, and whether it is still in the store (record companies occasionally remove their music) - you can't add music to the cloud without subscribing to iTunes Match.

    Thanks for the reply to my questions.
    I have another that can be hopefully answered in regards to the client side ping.
    1. With the client side ping, if the clients computers network cable is disconnected and then reconnected will the ping properly re-establish its connection or is it up to the client application to do this process?
    2. Will the client side ping resolve the issue with half-open connections that 3.5 had?
    2. When creating the persistent queue objects on the server are there any special settings to set to properly configure the queues. When working with 3.5 I previously had the following:
    cmdtype=add
    obj.type=qf
    obj.lookupName=QueueConnectionFactory
    obj.attrs.imqBrokerHostName=localhost
    obj.attrs.imqBrokerHostPort=7676
    objstore.attrs.java.naming.factory.initial=com.sun.jndi.fscontext.RefFSContextFactory
    objstore.attrs.java.naming.provider.url=file:///C:/Temp
    Thanks in advance for any sugestions

  • New iMac open and keeping it (Reference: "To open or not to open")

    Well after reading quite a few posts on the iMac display's. I decided to give this one a try. (see my initial post on "to open or not to open").
    I have to say that the glossy screen is well... GLOSSY!! Love the keyboard and the iMac is quite pleasing to the eye with the glass and aluminum combination. I can't see any variation in the color, nor can I see a differnece from side to side or top to bottom. This one is a keeper.

    What a relief I was dying, 6 days was a long time to keep us waiting!
    Glad to hear it's a keeper!

    I have "Sorted" Out My Creative to work (NOT RECORDING WHAT YOU / I HEAR) with VISTA?I use Musicmatch to Play and or Real Audio to Listen / Stream?from the Net (You may use ANY Player for the same) and then Press the Record on My COOL EDIT Pro and WHALA There I Have Music that has been Recorded - What a Relief!!!!!!!:smileyvery-happy:?Get / Download COOL EDIT PRO and do ONLY the Following Settings:?Set the Settings in the Options - Settings - Multitrack - Click / Tag in "Open Order" on "Rec Play" and Click/Tag in "Start Order" on "Play/Rec." and Click/Tag in Default Rec on "Stereo" and Away You Go?Enjoy Your Creative Sound Card and Recording / Streaming Yet AGAIN?Best Wishes?Andre (from South Africa - East Coast - Port Elizabeth - The Friendly City)

    I do not have 'what you hear' as an option any longer with the new Titanium; I had it with my older X-Fi Fatalty, but not this new card.
    I would imagine it has something to do with Microsoft trying to limit recording of DRM-protected content, and Creative bowing to their wishes.

  • Im new to Mac and when I was transferring my files from my PC to my Mac, my Mac created a new login and placed all my files there. How do I transfer those files to my log in?

    So I have No idea what to do about this because I followed all the instructions when using Migration Assistant. I would just use that user but I have already put files on my user for school. What should I do?

    Transferring files from one User Account to another.
    Or log out of the new user account and log into the migrated account - problem solved.

  • What is difference between additive delta and new status for change record

    Hi Experts
    Can any one explain me about the difference between additive delta and new status for change record with example
    if any one has a document please post it iam thank full to u
    thanks
    Ahmed
    Please search the forum before posting a thread
    Edited by: Pravender on Feb 12, 2012 1:54 PM

    Hi
    Additive delta --- We will get the changed quantity.
    say suppose you have sales order and quantity like  1111   30 which is loaded to cube(BW).
    now same record qty has changed from 30 to 40. As we have additive delta, we will get new record as 1111  10.
    new status for change record: This is same as like After image delta type in standard SAP data sources. for every change in record you should have new record.
    say if you have any number which will be generated by system for new/changed record, then you can use this.
    You can use this option when delta option set to "numeric pointer"
    Regards,
