Ableton Live 10 Power!: The Comprehensive Guide

If you prefer paper to digital, this book will work for you. It basically walks you through the same stuff that is in the help menu of Ableton. I prefer paper books so I thought I would like having this as a reference. Unfortunately it doesn't really provide anything more than what is already provided in the software. On the up side, if you wear reading glasses, you can put them away. The text size is large which makes the book large and cumbersome. Smaller text would be nice to reduce the weight of this book from that of a boat anchor to a paper weight. Wish I would have had time to look at it sooner after receiving it so I could have requested a refund. It is to bulky to carry to the office for reading on breaks which was why I bought it to begin with.

I read Jon's Ableton Live 9 Power and thought it was one of the most clearly written, and well-planned books of this type. I spent a career writing user manuals; it is no easy task, especially at the depth and breadth that he delivers in a book on a software package that's this "huge." Buying Ableton Live 10 Power was a no brainer... the fastest track to getting at the new stuff easily, while getting a solid review of the "old."

There isn't any information in this book that can't be easily found in the Live manual. No tricks or "power" advice.

This guide is well organized and written in a way that keeps you digging. I expected a somewhat boring manual but it's easy on the eyes (larger font) and intellectually intriguing. After a couple years with Live/Push scratching through bits and pieces of Abletons manual, clicking random buttons in wonder and scouring over many YouTube tutorials this book is exactly what I needed. Something concise, informative and organized by someone far more experienced than me. Thanks Jon!

Says it comes with downloads. I have not been able to access them, making much of this $$$ book not so great.I wrote their customer service, and got no reply. Bummer.The downloads are key to understanding this complicated program.Quite frankly, for over FORTY dollars, I feel ripped off.

This book really give you must more information than some of the other book , if you must have a book for Ableton live 10 which there a lot of stuff on YouTube that can help you, i do recommend this book it is full of Ableton information's for you well put together.

It covers a lot of territory and can be used as a reference guide. It would have been nice to have some walkthrough lessons, but if you make it through the entire book you'll have a very good understanding of Live 10.

Although I haven't finished this yet, and am not sure I will, it is perfect as I was hoping to use it. Anytime I need to reference something or figure out a new step I'm working through, this manual is my go to aside from youtube. It's thorough, comprehensive and easy to read text indicates why it's the go to source for learning Ableton. Grateful this book is available outside of classrooms.

As a noob to Ableton, I wanted a quick physical reference guide and this fits the bill perfectly. Clear, concise, good explanations and relevant diagrams where needed. As I was switching DAWs, from Reason to Ableton, I at least had a knowledge of terms and some expectations. As someone starting Ableton as there first ever DAW, it would still be a worthwhile purchase, familiarity with DAW jargon would eventually kick in. I’ll use this time and time again, I already have!

Fantastic book, well written and a great insight into both Live 10's new features and also the DAW itself if you are just starting out.The writing style is engaging and not at all dry. This goes a long way to help if you are a beginner and are already overwhelmed by the various DAW capabilities and don't want to also struggle through pages of dull text that you can scarcely comprehend.I would recommend this product as a perfect extension to Live's manual and built in tutorials.

Bought for my daughter who has the full program and wants to be a sound producer/engineer one day. She thinks the book is awesome!!!

Only a few chapters in and have a learned so much. Have been using Ableton past few years and while I know the different areas, this book is great as it actually explains what each area does very clearly. No real jargon here (and if there is any he explains it). Defnitely consider this as the bible now as will undoubtedly be referring to it for years to come.

good
