Sound Design, Mixing And Mastering With Ableton Live (Quick Pro Guides)

jake perrine has the understanding and the skills to convey this understanding. not only that, but his writing is a joy to read. he's smart, he's funny and his books are very well organized. he'll lead you logically from one step to the next in ableton, all the time deepening your understanding and unlocking more and more potential. after even a portion of the books, you'll imagine projects you've never before conceived, and be able to realize them efficently and with increasing excitement! can you say 'open sesame'?

Really impressed by this book and the preceding one in the series. Mr. Perrine gives a great overview of the program and keeps it informative, but not so textbook as to bore you to death. Learned a lot of fundamental techniques that need to be learned in order for you to truly progress as a producer. Would love it if he kept the books coming and continued diving further into producing with Ableton!

jakes enthusiasm for music production is immediately evident in his book. It's very well written, and jakes knowledge of ableton is top drawer.The book follows a project that is on the accompanying cd, explaining various techniques in ableton live from keyboard shortcuts to mastering in live. I personally found the sound design and mastering chapters a little bit lightweight in content, as these are such huge areas they could have been covered in a bit more depth. If your hoping to learn to design your own patches with operator or any other built in synths this wont be covered. Having said that there is comprehensive coverage of using racks, processing, midi and controllers, and mixing and automation to name a few. Overall i thought the book was excellent value for money and I would recommend the book for anyone looking to improve their skills with abletons software.

The item was delivered as expected and I am very satisfied with the book and the service.

I haven't made it far in this book yet But I own the previous Producing Music with Ableton Live and I like the fact they have projects to go with it with the samples on the disk for the projects.

I bought Jake Perrine's book last week - it is just what I needed! Christian Heilman and I do all our Ars Divina Metaphysical Experience work in Ableton Live... Excellent book, Jake!

I was thoroughly disappointed in this book. There are some benefits to it, but I shouldn't have to work so hard to see them. First I shouldn't have to buy the first book if that is not what I need just to be able to use the second book. Secondly the vst elek7ro did not work for anything. Lastly there were no audio files that came with the book that would allow me to use for working though the exercises that are in the book which I'm willing to bet come in the first book.

If you completely have no idea what you are doing with Ableton Live then this could be helpful. However, it just barely scrathes the surface on sound design, mixing, and mastering.
