Ableton Live 4 Power! (Power!)

Summary: This book really helped!
Review: Although I had gotten my feet wet using Ableton Live 4, I didn't realize what I was missing until I read this book. I am now much faster and can do a lot of really cool stuff that I didn't even realize was possible with Live before reading this book. It's also much easier to read than other technical manuals I've read, written in an engaging, conversational style that is easy to understand while imparting some pretty deep knowledge. Actually inspired me to dig into Live and try what I was learning. I highly recommend this one!!

Summary: Incredible Software, Amazing Book
Review: Having used this program for quite some time, I thought I pretty much knew everything it could do. Boy, was I wrong. Chad Carrier brilliantly guides you through all the incredible features of this software, and he does it in a way that doesn't leave you scratching your head. I was surprised to discover just how much this program can do. If you are a musician or a producer, Ableton Live is one of the greatest new music making tools to come along in years. This book does an incredible job of explaining all the many features in Live 4, and I highly recommend both the software and this book for anyone who has ever wanted to get into making music on their computer. I'm inspired. OK, back to the studio!

Summary: Very well done guide and reference for Ableton Live 4
Review: This is a really a great book to 1) help you learn Live 4 better, 2) get better in-depth coverage of some old and new areas in Live, 3) see new ways of working with Live, and 4) have a great guide to supplement the Ableton provided manual.

I've been getting a lot out of Live since Live 3, and this book has been a great tool in quickly learning some of the new features of Live 4, as well as picking up a lot of great tips.

It's written well, and put together for the person who wants to get a lot of tutorial-style info, methods to use Live quicker and smarter, and get even more musical goodness out of Live.

Very happy I bought this book, an easy 5 star recommendation.

Enjoy!
