I don't know in which country you actually live in, but Amazon should be 'round the corner, anyway.

This book is really good:
http://www.amazon.com/Ableton-Live-Suit ... 998&sr=8-2

I'm finding Jon Margulies 365 live tips to be very useful, not to mention, easy to digest.

I have to agree, as someone very new to Live I really enjoyed and got a lot out of this book. In fact after having read it, I'm back to reading the manual and understanding that a lot more.

I'm interested in finding other books people like as well. I'd like to find something general on sound design and/or music theory. Suggestions? Ideas. Amazon lists a few.

Thanks in advance,

JR

BTW... I always link to the whole Ableton page thereby giving you a plug too Tim ya big greedy ape

Oh and further to the original question, Sonic academy seem to focus on the "how to sound like...." while Tim and I like to give you the skills to be original!

But as for wanting to sound like the Prodigy... there is no better video on the interwebs than those by this guy: http://www.abletontrainer.com/core/?p=154

Ableton Live Power is a good book, especially for beginners. Not sure if version 8 is out yet but I've got 7. I'd been using Live for a couple of years so some of it was a bit too basic for my liking but I still picked up on a few useful tips, and the basics seemed to be very well explained.
