CM Special: Essential Guide to Ableton Live

I totally bought it today during my lunch hour. I was finessed by the one page spread on Torsten Slama. After studying graphic design now for (on and off) 8 years, I got a real refreshing kick out of some of the things this guy had to say, Props on the operatic setting man!- I've always loved it!

Damn it feels good to know that there is a good chance that might get back to him!

Also, I found, surprisingly enough, some of the midi-controller reviews very interesting. Between trying to isolate certain politically hindered biases, and just enjoying what seemed like an honest effort at objectivity on their behalf, I was not only surprised to see them implicitly mention the evergrowing bcr/bcf2000 MCE thread, but also, despite their limited desriptions of devices they managed to coherently answer a couple questions I have been asking on this forum for a couple of weeks!

It serves not only as a good preliminary summary, but it also has great fanboy action pics! Yee-hah!

I'm visiting Copenhagen next week, so would anybody from thereabouts care to tell me where I could pick up the CM Essential Guide while i'm there? (Assuming it is on sale in Denmark.) Bookstore/kiosk/etc. downtown preferably.

i bought it for my bruv who start using live 5 , there is nothing to learn for me there .
i think cm is a good mag for someone who wants to know a bit more about music production ,usualy their tutorials are easy to understand & there is a full set of vsti for free on the cd . i am using some of their vst everyday like the cm303 .

I bought it in Amsterdam and found it worth the money.
If you're new to Ableton it's a good starter with some cool lessons.
If you allready know all the stuff it's still a nice read besides, as someone already mentioned, the included Trackteam Audio Livefill Bundle Lite is worth the price alone!
