    • This book's great for expanding Ableton workflow!
Format: Paperback
Great read so far. I've been in Ableton over a decade but this book's making me much more comfortable with many of the details and capacity Live offers that I typically overlook do to getting stuck with an old workflow that came from what I had to wok with many versions ago.

    • LOVE LOVE LOVE (I have the kindle version)
Format: Kindle
I grew up using written online tutorials with screenshots to learn programs like Photoshop, and going to Barnes and Noble to buy books on PHP/HTML. By the time I was learning Ableton, youtube had been around for a while and everything was an hour long video tutorial with blurry screen sharing. THIS BOOK IS SUCH A RELIEF. THANK YOU ANNA. The font is great, the images look great on my laptop's kindle app, and the content is EXCELLENT. Easily explained, to the point and time efficient. I love being able to flip between sections, skip ahead to the steps I don't know, highlight valuable info and have the book open side by side with Ableton. We need more tutorials delivered like this. The ability to absorb the information quietly, reading and following along with quality material, and trying it out without any distractions is amazing. It is a relief to not have to listen to anyone's voice or go through weird entertainment jokes to get to the information. ... show more

    • If the Ableton Reference Manual is lectures, then Music Producer's Creative Guide is labs
Format: Paperback
You can learn about Ableton Live through the Reference Manual that comes with the software. But if the Reference Manual is morning lectures, then The Music Producer's Creative Guide to Ableton Live is afternoon labs/tutorials. You will get the most from this book by using Ableton as you follow along. Anna is clearly a creative individual, and this comes through in the examples throughout, hence I guess choice of the word 'Creative' in the title rather than 'Practical' which would otherwise serve. The content covers version 11, whereas I have Live version 12, such that there are a number of UI changes (for example with the clip view tabs), but these are easy enough to figure out. Each chapter 'requires' Suite edition, where as a newbie I still make do with Lite. But with a small number of free plug-ins to stand in for missing devices, you can still try out 95% of the book's examples with Lite (notable exceptions including Video, Push hardware, Cloud, Note, M4L, and the Operator instrument; and to a lesser degree Audio-to-MIDI). And some of the accompanying downloadable projects are license-limited with Lite, but still runnable. The editorial is imperfect in places, but as with lecturers notes the meaning is clear enough that these are not a practical issue - my copy is now filled with pencil notes. Production hands-over to Mixing, and with an overview chapter that is about where this book ends and where I'll be looking for a next text to follow up. Overall, I would recommend this book, especially if you apply it rather than just read it. ... show more

    • Ableton Live at its best
Format: Paperback
This book should definitely be red while you're in front of the software so that you can get maximum benefit of what it is telling you.

**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

    • Great for Beginners
Format: Paperback
I’ve been using Ableton for about 10 years now and this is a great tool to learn the ins and outs of the program without sifting through online tutorials. Most of the info is what you’ll find in the user manual but it’s nice to have perspective from an instructor. Great book

    • Great information.
Format: Paperback
Very thorough in covering all aspects of using Ableton Live 11 suite. Even though Ableton Suite 12 is out this book still covers everything you need to know about the DAW as a whole. Definitely recommend.
