Hal Leonard Publishes Producing Music with Ableton Live
Learn to make electronic dance music with the innovative application that started the revolution
Montclair, NJ (February 1, 2012) – Hal Leonard Books, the musician’s best source of books on the music business, audio technology,
instrument history, and more, has published Producing Music with Ableton Live ($16.99) by Jake Perrine. This exciting new title is designed
to get readers producing their own music from the ground up!
Ableton Live is a groundbreaking program whose unique nonlinear, incredibly flexible features set it apart from all the other digital audio
applications. It is equally at home with making beats, remixing, live recording, DJing, live looping, sound design, electronic music, hip-hop, and
much more.
Unlike other books about Live that simply explain its features like a second manual, this hands-on-centric book contains a series of exercises
that will walk readers through all the features they need to make an actual track from start to finish. Also included are audio content for use in
the Ableton Live exercises contained in the text and screen-cast videos of the exercises, so readers can actually see how many of the features
described by the author work.
A substantial 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.
In addition to over 20 years of making electronic music, certified Ableton trainer Jake Perrine has over a decade of experience teaching audio
production, so not only does he know what he's talking about, he knows how to make sure the reader know what he's talking about! Whether
it’s DJing, making mashups and remixes, playing with a band, or building epic dance anthems from scratch, this book has all the step-by-step
details achieve it with Ableton Live.
