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.

As someone who is relatively entry level when it comes to scoring for film, this book has been a huge help! Most of my experience comes from engineering with Pro Tools or making beats with Logic. This book has shown me many tips and insight to terms and techniques I can use in the future! It is very easy to understand and has many helpful screenshots and diagrams, I highly recommend this book!
