Description

(Quick Pro Guides). Learn to make electronic dance music with the innovative application that started and is still leading the revolution! Start producing your own music from the ground up! Ableton Live is a groundbreaking program whose unique nonlinear, incredibly flexible features set it far apart from all the other digital audio applications. It is equally at home with making beats, remixing, live recording, DJing, live looping, sound design, electronic music, hip-hop, and much more. Unlike other books about Live that simply explain its features like a second manual, this hands-on-centric book contains a series of exercises that will walk you through all the features you need to produce professional sounding music with Ableton Live. Certified Ableton instructor Jake Perrine will guide you through the creation of an actual track from start to finish. And you'll get plenty of practice using Live with the audio content, exercises, audio samples, and session files contained on the accompanying DVD-ROM. A substantial appendix section offers discussions of important non-Ableton-specific topics, including digital audio basics, components of a producer's studio, considerations when buying a DAW computer, and more. In addition to over 20 years of making electronic music, certified Ableton trainer Jake Perrine has over a decade of experience teaching audio production, so not only does he know what he's talking about, he knows how to make sure you know what he's talking about! Whether you want to DJ, make mashups and remixes, play with a band, or build epic dance anthems from scratch, this book will show you all you need to know to achieve your goals with Ableton Live.

    • I Recommend This Book!
I had been trying to deal with Ableton Live Suite on my own and was feeling kind of frustrated. I have been playing and programming keyboards for over 40 years but have not been too interested in computers due to some bad experiences with computers and software. Anyone remember trying to perform on stage with a Commodore 64/Dr.T's sequencer? Early PC's/Voyetra? Nightmares. I decided to stop wasting my time with these machines and focus instead on my playing skills. There is absolutely no substitute for rehearsing/jamming with other musicians. That being said,I've recently decided to give the computers another go. It's a whole different world nowadays. Ableton Live is an intricate piece of software that will handle just about any digital music manipulation you can think of. Unfortunately that comes with a steep learning curve, especially if you are not savvy with modern computers. Do not think that just because you know how to program drum machines or synths or even 16-track digital recorders, that you will be able to take right off with Ableton Live. That's where Jake Perrine's guidebooks come in. Jake writes in an entertaining and informative style that will keeep you engaged with the material in this book. But most importantly you will get the foundation you need to really make the software your own. The DVD-ROM that comes with this book is very helpful as it takes you step-by-step through building a song from scratch (OK he cheated a little bit by using loops). You may get tired of listening to the same tracks over and over as you massage them into shape, but you will also get an education in critical listening and skillful use of effects. Now I've heard some complaints in other reviews that subjects like MIDI are glossed over. Do not fall for the idea that one 180-page guidebook is going to cover every Ableton topic in depth. If you don't know anything about MIDI and just stick to what Ableton does, inside the program itself, you'll be fine. On the other hand, if you want to wade into the treacherous waters of MIDI devices (be prepared to become a hopeless gear junkie), go ahead and get the companion book "Sound Design, Mixing and Mastering". Anybody who is a newbie to MIDI will find their questions answered there. I'll admit I haven't worked my way through the second book yet, but I've done all the exercises and lessons in "Producing Music" and can give it 5 stars for what it is- a basic but very thorough education in using Ableton Live to produce music. Go ahead and get both books, they're at bargain prices and worth every penny. I like it. ... show more

    • Very good for beginners
First, for international buyers, I live on the brazilian's south and this cheap book came to me in 5 days through DHL. Very impressive. And it took 5 days, because nobody were in the house. On the 4th day they came and delivered a nice card with the exact time they would be on the next day. Amazing. The book itself is a very good step-by-step guide. I like the writing style and the author's Preoccupation about the basic audio concepts (on appendices). I knew about them, but I really liked the way it was explained on this book. I think we ever need new thoughts about the fundamentals. I really learned a lot with this book. Sometimes it is hard to follow some very detailed steps. And you really must follow every word. If you simplify what is being said, and quickly take an action, you won't get the expected result. So, I think that Perrine gave us a lot of attention on those words. It gave me a quick approach to the software, and I know how it works. Really, it's a very basic book, but it was what I needed. The Live's manual is complete, but it is also sterile. I truly recommend it for the beginners like me. It worth every penny. P.S.: I also bought the second Book "Sound Design, Mixing & Mastering" and unfortunately it has about 60 pages from the first book. It's a shame. ... show more

    • Good for beginners
I would give it five stars, because as an instructional guide it is great. I is particularly good for people just getting started. But the music files you have to work with are GOD AWFUL. I wanted to jab my eardrums out with a needle while listening to them, but I have to admit, I did get some solid reinforcement for what I had been learning from my millions of Youtube hours. ... show more

    • What a New Music Producer/Songwriter needs to use Ableton Live!
Book was in Excellent shape. DVD had been removed and put back at least once. Thanks. My only problem was the UPS shipping. The driver from Louisville to Lenexa must stop at a strip club in KC, because the packages are always two days late! LOL! Not the seller's issue, but they might consider switch carriers! Just starting to run through the book itself. While it's a few versions behind, this is exactly what a new Music Producer/Songwriter needs. I'll update this once I get a few more chapters in. ... show more
