Acknowledgments

Sincere thanks to my wife Keri, son Jonah, and daughter Zinnia for enabling me to write the second edition of this book. Your understanding and moral support gave me the foundation to continue along this journey.

I could not have accomplished this task without the wise direction and knowledge of editor Bob Lindstrom and technical editor Robert Brock. You again have helped to make my life manageable during this arduous process.

Special thanks to my colleague Raymond Barker for providing valuable feedback, constructive scrutiny, and indefatigable enthusiasm.

Huge thanks to my dear friend Tom Langford for his generosity in providing the tracks from his wonderful song “I Was Raised.” Look for Tom’s music on GoDigital (http://www.godigitalartists.com/artists/tom_langford/).

Thank you to Grant Levin for furnishing his excellent composition “A Blues for Trane” and being so enthusiastic about its being mixed in surround sound.

“Thanks, mate!” to Phil Jackson for supplying his score to the Monterey Bay Sanctuary video.

Thank you to Mark Shelley, Sea Studios Foundation, and the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary for the use of their beautiful video.

Thank you, Patty Montesion, for your unfaltering confidence and respect.

Enthusiastic appreciation to Nancy Peterson, Robyn Thomas, Karen Seriguchi, and the entire team at Peachpit for their valuable participation.

Thanks to Bob Hunt, friend and ex-Apple buddy who continues to tune me into all things Logic.
