ableton live 5 power

If you are in to music and video production. This is a great book to teach you ableton live.

Amazing, but way too long!

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...

Excellent Resource

I downloaded Live 5 using it as a demo now and also purchased Chads book: Ableton Live 5 Power so I can began to discover this much talked about program! I have found Chads writing easy, fun and very informative. This book is worth the price alone simply for Chads excellent writing explaining analog and digital sound. Using multiple visuals the reader is able to grasp the ideas presented more fully and faster. The book does not get into the "nitty gritty" details that a true Power User may demand but the books does give enough information for someone such as myself (a beginner) to feel like they know the program. I guess thats where the Power part stems from. If you are looking to learn Live or more about it, buy this book. If you want lots of tricks, I do not believe this is what you want.

Fantastic book

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. Christopher Alan
