This Kindle Book cannot be judged by its cover. The contents page shows headings, when left clicked on with the mouse, opens a link to a website where the author Jason Timothy has a vast array of video tutorials on how to use Ableton Live 8 & 9. This "book" links to 66 movies which stream live for your perusal. Did you ever try learning to drive a car by reading the car manual !. On opening Ableton Live for the first time , did you try to figure out where to start by reading the built in manual, I found it hard slog. Several books later, on reading about Ableton Live, I was a lot more knowledgable. but my hands- on skills in using Ableton L were still primitive. I needed to see or be shown how the info in the manual & books translated to audio, from ideas stuck in my head. I found a few Youtube videos, these ramped up my skill levels much more quickly. The presenters were so diverse: some accents were hard to follow, some used cool talk so cool I didn't understand what they were saying , some demos were so fast, I couldn't keep up, some were just bits of the manual rehashed on video. So if a picture is worth a thousand words, a video is worth a hundred pictures, These videos narrated by a muso with over 2 decades in the business, is a goldmine of info. The author chooses words , which are not full of cool talk, and superlatives, but homes in on the use of tools, and Ableton L's features:is what I needed when I started. A lesson firstly begins with a quick overview of its function, a demonstration then follows, then a recap not using the previous explanations, this 3 pronged approach , is also supplemented with Jason's, verbal tips, and comments on adjusting other settings related to a tool's use or features is just what a neophyte to Ableton L needs. The purchaser also gets access to other videos from Jason's professional website. I found a good internet ( bandwidth) connection is required to minimize drop outs streaming the Kindle Book contents.
Jason Timothy has a wealth of information at a literal fraction of the cost of any other Ableton tutorial. The next nearest is Warp Academy; but they tend to skip around a bit. The course pricing is good (especially after shelling out all the bucks for suite 9).
This step by step course is laid out so well anyone that after a few lessons can create great pieces in no time. Honestly for the price you might feel this is a watered down course that could not stand against any of the other more expense courses of a higher caliber but don't be fooled. For such a minor price you're getting major value and quality".
