but now find myself reading manuals and such. I'm in the midst of reading Power. I think the manual does a pretty good job of explaining things, but some concepts are explained better in Power. Live is not as intuitive as I hoped it would be. What amazes me is how many of the little things it does. I refer to both manuals. The author is writen by Ableton's Public Media Manager, so don't expect a balanced critique.
Happy reading.
Great book!

The book Ableton Live 4 Power is well worth buying. It gives both a good conceptual overview of how the program works as well as plenty of practical tips and tricks of how to get the most out of Live.

This book has actually been getting very good reviews on this site in general and it is higly recommended not only for beginners, but for veteren Live users as well. (and I'm not just saying that cause my picture is on page 15 of the book!! hehehe)

Ableton Live 4 Power is an excellent read for everyone....even if you think you know everything....its good to hear it spelled out by a different person.
Genshi? Would you suggest
this CD-ROM as well. ;p
Seriously...do you think it will be helpfull and informative beyond the manual, power book, and all the online tutorials?

hehehe... you found out! It depends if you are more of a book reader or more of a visual person which the CD-ROM is great for. Me personally, though I wrote the CD-ROM, I think the book is excellent and more in depth. But I know some people who feel more comfortable with the CD-ROM format. You can find it discounted here:
Ableton Live 4 CSi Master @ Amazon.com
I'm also working on a companion site for the CD-ROM which can be found here:
