In addition to his over 20 years of making electronic music, certified Ableton trainer Jake Perrine has taught audio production for more than a decade, so not only does he know what he's talking about, but heknows how to make sure you know what he's talking about! Whether you want to DJ, make mashups and remixes, play with a band, or build epic dance anthems from scratch, Perrine provides all the hands-on, expert guidance you need forusing Ableton Live 9.

The accompanying DVD-ROM contains audio content keyed to the Ableton Live exercises in the text and session files, so you can actually both hear and see how many of the features actually work. Asubstantial appendix section offers discussions of important non-Ableton-specific topics, including digital audio basics, components of a producer's studio, considerations when buying a DAW computer, and more.
