  • this book is a good start .. however, it can do better if ....
Format: Paperback
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. ... show more

  • Amazing, but way too long!
Format: Paperback
The whole series of "Power!" is fantastic, but if you are not a person with lots of patience and basic music theory, technically and theoretically, this book will keep the whole Ableton thing above your head. Otherwise, this is all you will need to master Ableton...

  • Fantastic book
Format: Paperback
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
Format: Paperback
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 I've bought many of these teach yourself a program books and most of them become very outdated not too long after you receive them.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. ... show more

  • Ableton LIVE 5 Power ? haha
Format: Paperback
First of all it's a good book, especially if you are beginner with LIVE 5. But if you are expecting real in depth knowledge about the program this not the right book! The word "POWER" in the title is not supported by the context of the book! (The same go's by the way to all of the series of ""power"" by this publisher) In the essence this book is a good operation manual, with a few examples and even less and far in between tips & tricks. This how the original lame operation manual should have look like from the beginning! A few parts in the book are totally missing like in chapter 10 about the Resonators and I quote "This effect is better understood when heard, so open up the Resonators example set and try it for your self " the only problem this set is not on the accompany CD! This set is also not on the book web site! After all said and done if you just forget the word "POWER" this is a good book for beginner level, it's clear enough and easy to understand. ... show more
