I've been scanning the bookstores for this issue since 29 Dec 05, so glad it's finally for sale!

The tutorials are nice and all, but when I read thru them, I already know how to do this stuff. This issue is a great companion to the manual. Can't wait to get home and dive into the CD !

I was hoping for more information about the Ableton company and HQ, but it was nice to see some interviews and photos.

Pick it up!

THX,
JD

Actually not very good.

There are a few good points (Operator how to) but you can glean better info off this forum.

Save the $15

It's still a good read though. And the Trackteam Livefill Bundle on cd is worth the purchase alone.

I followed the 'Creating a track from scratch' tutorial and it sounded nothing like the finished track. Heh. I can't follow recipes either, which maybe helps explain it. The thing that annoys me about CM's tutorials is that they always say things like , "Set the LFO to 1/4, increase the resonance to 90, and give a gentle Q boost at 2Khz". Yeah....but why? I'm not learning anything by doing this, I'm just following a script.
