Though originally seen as a perfect tool for live performance, Ableton's Live has evolved into a fully featured Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). It provides the tools to create, record and mix your music while never losing sight of what made the program great in the first place - that working with a computer can be creative, improvisational and, above all, fun! The book is packed full of tips and tricks that will make your experience with Live richer and more fulfilling. It outlines ways to improve your workflow, communicate with hardware and other software and to make Live behave more like a traditional DAW. You'll learn how to get the most out of the program when you're using Live in the manner originally intended by its creators - getting your music out of the studio (or bedroom) and onto the stage!
