Ableton Live – whose unique; groundbreaking; incredibly flexible features set it far apart from all other digital audio applications – is equally at home with making beats; remixing; live recording; DJing; live looping; sound design; electronic music; hip-hop; and much more.

Unlike other books about Ableton Live that read like a second manual; this book walks you through all the features you need to make an actual track from start to finish.

In addition to his over 20 years of making electronic music; certified Ableton trainer Jake Perrine has taught audio production for more than a decade; so not only does he know what he's talking about; but he knows how to make sure you know what he's talking about! Whether you want to DJ; make mashups and remixes; play with a band; or build epic dance anthems from scratch; Perrine provides all the hands-on; expert guidance you need for using Ableton Live 9.

The accompanying online audio contains content keyed to the Ableton Live exercises in the text and session files; so you can actually both hear and see how many of the features actually work. A substantial appendix section offers discussions of important non-Ableton-specific topics; including digital audio basics; components of a producer's studio; considerations when buying a DAW computer; and more.
