 A good introduction, prepare to skip ahead... Apr 19, 2006
By J. DEATS
Ableton Live is the most intuitive sequencer available to today. About half of the book covers information that I feel is obvious, or explained very clearly in the operations manual provided by the vendor. The other half is useful information that leaves you wanting more. This is the information on how to use the effects, proper technique with envelopes and quite a few tutorials on leveraging Live's time warping feature on audio clips.... This information is worth the price of the book, even if you aren't a fan of the Power! series (untill we get another book on Live anyway, as of this writing this is the only one available).
I wish there was more information on production technique with the effects (really outside the scope of this book I guess) I think a chapter devoted to Impulse would have been nice. Impulse is the underrated rhythm sampler that comes bundled with live, it's a very powerful virtual instrument that has completely replaced my use of external ryhthm programming devices. The vendors operations manual doesn't cover Impulse very well and neither does this book...

Fantastic book Feb 01, 2006
By Christopher Alan
The author of this book works for M-Audio, and is an avid user of Ableton Live. He wrote this book with passion and finesse, and it is an invaluable reference in my collection. I've been a DJ/Producer for a number of years, and there are a couple of sections in this book that made me look at the game from new and different angles. The book is filled with several ways of using this software that I wouldn't have come up with on my own. I would recommend this book to anyone who uses (or plans to use) Live 5.0.

ok but these books don't stay fresh for long Sep 04, 2008

"Bird-Knuckle"
ecspecialy with a program like Ableton where a new full update is released every year on the dot.
I've bought many of these teach yourself a program books and most of them become very outdated not too long after you receive them. For some programs it's not the biggest deal but for some there are major changes in a version upgrade so the info in the older version book would be false at that point.
this book is a good start .. however, it can do better if .... Aug 11, 2008

hi .. this book is a good start if you want to do DJing, mixing or some music production using Ableton Live 5 (or 5x) software ...
Good points for the book:
- It covers a whole wide area of knowledge in a simple language.
- It is very positive and enthusiastic about the product.
- It does a great job discussing the different hardware that can be bought to work with Live.
Bad points for the book:
- The diagrams are very stagnant .. meaning, you see a scren shot, but its hard to know what the author is talking about!! The diagrams need a lot more work, like having arrows or text boxes explaining the different functionality being discussed.
- I wish that the book focus or explain a lot more on DJing, as not everyone is into production. The book does explain about djing but not in any depth ... things like warping, set points, effects .... can be explained in a lot more details.
Overall, the book does a decent job explaining Live to new comers (like myself hehe). If the author works a bit more on making those diagrams move "live", that would make the book a must-have, in my own opinion.
