If you're absolutely brand new to computer music, the magazine by the same name would be a good investment for you...their website absolutely sucks, but the magazine always has worthwhile information, especially for beginners.

http://www.computermusic.co.uk/

Again, only use the URL to find out how to subscribe (there is nothing of any value on their website) or you can pick the magazine at most Barnes & Noble or Borders bookstores

- free tutorials don't hurt! If we're talkin magazines I highly recommend Sound on Sound, an excellently written magazine. It's subscription but only for the past few months: They have literally years of free archived articles and that includes tons of tutorials for newbies/oldbies(?) - check out their ableton tutorials ...

There was a great thread about theory a couple of years ago with a strong list of good books. Anybody have a link to that? I have tried searching but the results are difficult to work through.

Or download the Live demo and get playing! Always the best way to learn.

I offer some tips, news, and links on electronic music production including Live in my blog - http://www.modulatethis.com. That link is the top of the blog. The Ableton Live specific posts are here http://newecho.typepad.com/blog/ableton_live/index.html.

I've got some small video tutorials in the works for Live as well.

How does the manual explain Theory?

Sound On Sound magazine.

Great on print. Great online archive. Superb forum.

It helps getting started making music with Live. That, too, was one of the questions.

Very good... I guess I was focussed on the first part about Theory.
