This book addresses a specific gap in the field of DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) scoring for film. Unlike most books that predominantly cover a more generalized approach to DAW-based scoring, this book stands out by focusing exclusively on Logic Pro. The advantage of this narrow focus is that readers gain a comprehensive understanding of Logic Pro's application in the context of film scoring. Author Piorkowski provides an abundance of techniques and subjects that hold relevance for contemporary film and media composers. These include essential topics such as movie setup, beat mapping, and tempo mapping, all of which offer significant value to both novice and experienced Logic Pro users.I wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone eager to delve into the intricacies of Logic Pro, particularly as they pertain to the specific nuances of scoring for film.

A well written book in regards to approaching Film scoring in Logic Pro. The author definitely knows what he is talking about. He provides such valuable insight on how to navigate the program. This is a must for every composer’s library!

This book covers a wide range of topics and dives deep into each, offering a thorough examination of film scoring terminologies and practices crucial to scoring to picture and working professionally with Logic Pro.Piorkowski offers tons of in depth information for Apple and logic users, including timecodes, beat mapping, and project planning/organization. I recommend for anyone looking to get a practical film scoring text to prepare for working with clients. This book will give the reader a headstart on understanding how to approach communication with non-musical clients in settings like spotting sessions.In addition to technical methods, Piorkowski also takes the reader through scoring a commercial from scratch, explaining situations where technical choices and musical choices differ when choosing mood and style. Not only do I recommend this book to composers of any linear medium looking for an in-depth primer to get started working with clients, techniques and workflows covered in this book easily translate into other professional spheres like game audio and sound design.

It opens up an entirely holistic approach to achieving efficiency, saving time and doing everything right while working on scores and advertisements with how to automate and map tempos create punch points etc. These are some of the most essential aspects of working in the industry. From my experience of 10 years plus, this guide is a must-have for anyone currently working as a pro (who doesn't know the DAW in-depth) or even in a semi-pro stage.Having gone to institutes for higher studies in the same field, I can strongly say that this coupled with chat gpt can save you a lot of time and money.
