  • Book physically incomplete! - *updated*
**update** Amazon sent a replacement and it was the full print. The error was a fluke and I even gave the artist a heads up that there are come QC issues floating around out there. Anyway - I am a fellow Point Blank student and this is very concise and detailed enough to send you on your way towards your own exploration. Live is a powerful DAW, no matter how much you know there is always more to learn and this is an excellent resource to keep handy. *** (previous) An obvious error that somehow made it through QC - my book is missing the first half of 468 pages - it starts on page 213. Will be returning and perhaps I'll buy again to see if I get the entire book. ... show more

  • Excellent Resource Beginners and Intermediate User of Ableton Live
As an Ableton Live user since version 2 more than 20 years ago, I have seen this incredible music production tool grow up. The number of things you can do, the amount of features it has, and its power and flexibility have increased exponentially. If you're new to Live 11, or even if you're an intermediate user, there's at least a good chance that you have missed some important new features that could dramatically increase your productivity, creativity, and workflow. Enter Anna's wonderful new book. With great screenshots and annotated diagrams, this book walks you through a significant amount of features in Live 11. It isn't too verbose; rather, the book gets to the heart of a topic or feature and then visually shows you how unleash that particular power or ability. For anyone who wants a companion to the manual but doesn't want to sit through endless Youtube videos, this is the book for you. It includes workflow tips and techniques that can seriously increase your musical output, all in a very easy reference manual kind of way. I have been an Ableton Certified Trainer for more than 12 years, and I found this book to be helpful to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to my students. Nice work, Anna! ... show more

  • Great of Beginners and Advanced Users
Having used Ableton Live since version 9, I know my way around the interface pretty well. Despite my experience, I am particularly impressed by the “Editing Audio and Warping” and “Interesting Mixing Techniques in Live 11” chapters which both provide plenty of techniques for experimentation that I have had fun incorporating into my workflow. Whether you are just getting started or an advanced user looking for inspiration, you can gain a lot from this book. There is also something to be said for having a reference book that you can sift through which lends itself to discovering new and interesting material that you wouldn’t necessarily stumble across when searching for specific video instructions online. ... show more

  • Great book for anyone from beginners to experts!
This book is an excellent resource for anyone using Ableton, from those who have never touched it before to those who are familiar with it but need to brush up on their skills (and probably learn new things). As someone who falls into the latter camp, I'll definitely be using this as a resource for the foreseeable future! It's super well written and detailed, and the images are extremely helpful. Thanks, Anna! ... show more

  • Great book and well written.
I had to start using Ableton for a touring group I now work for and it was very confusing at first and still is at times. This book is really answering a lot of questions and making sense of how it differs from Pro Tools and Logic. Well done!

  • Great book for new Live users or experienced users brushing up on new features in Live 11
This book does a great job at explaining the software in a way that is easy to understand for a new user or an experienced producer. The example files are great for putting the ideas into practice and getting more hands-on. I would recommend this book to anyone that is interested in learning Ableton Live or wants to unpack what was added in version 11. As a producer that has used Live for 8 years+ there were still techniques and features in this book that I found very useful. ... show more

  • Well structured, understandable
I have been working in Ableton for years- this book was a fantastic recap, and even managed to bring some new concepts to the table. It is very well organized, with each chapter having a clear intro and list of topics, the bulk (tutorial), and a summary paragraph. Recommend to beginners as well as people looking to finetune/brush up their skills. ... show more

  • Great teaching style
So far, I read through the first three chapters while traveling. The book is well-written and the information was presented in a comprehensive manner. The author is not only experienced in working with Ableton Live but also in teaching. I cannot wait to complete the rest of this book!
