Product Description
Ableton Live is the cross-platform software which has rocked the music world - gathering ardent fans in a way usually associated with performers rather than software. Musicians, DJs, remixers, composers, and producers alike have embraced Live, and it's fast becoming the universal software studio.
This book will give Live novices an insight into working methods that otherwise would take months to discover. For the more experienced user it promises a quick catch-up with Live's latest developments (including new software instruments, complex instrument and effects chains, the phenomenal audio slicing, and full video functionality), and a new perspective on some of Live's more established features.
The book does not duplicate the Live user manual, it expands upon it, and introduces creative concepts, workflow enhancements, and workrounds for common objectives and problems. It also includes interviews with high-profile Live users in a variety of musical genres, passing on their real-world experiences to you.
Although the Live interface is remarkably simple, there's a lot of power under the surface. This book will show you new ways to access that power.

Customer Reviews
Reasonable book, but it's no Ableton Live Power
I have purchased the Ableton Live Tips And Tricks book and have found the information useable and explained well, however, if you compare this publication to Ableton Live Power 7, which contains the same information and more, this book comes out as more of a pocket guide than a useable reference guide. If you are already very familair with Ableton Live, and are only intersted in how to process your music / sets, this book is for you. If you want the process information, and detailed information and practical insight in to all of the instruments and effects and their use, above and beyond that which the user guide offers, then buy Ableton Live Power 7 instead.
A little memory jogger
Most of the stuff in the book you will have read or learnt somewhere before but either got stuck in your ways or forgotten. The book is designed to show you ways to improve your work flow and while it is fairly basic it actually does a pretty good job of explaining processes.
I would definately buy Ableton 8 Tips and Tricks if I upgraded and the book was written.
Useful book, though poorly proofread
There are a lot of useful tips in this book, which is written in a very user-friendly, easy-to-follow way. The visual illustrations are also clear and accurate.
The book's editor should be shot, though, as the standard of proofreading throughout is well short of professional. To pick just one of many examples, one would have thought that any competent publishing house would know that the possessive form of 'it' does not require an apostrophe. I'm not referring to occasional typing errors here; once a mistake is made in this book, it is repeated all the way through, which is annoying and suggests that no proofreader was allowed to check it prior to publication.
That annoyance aside, I would certainly recommend the book. Let's hope they fork out for a proper editor in the next edition.
