Solid Foundation for DJing, Great Teacher
This is a great course in explaining the basics of DJing and how it relates to LIVE. I see this course as more laying a foundation to set you up in a great place to really thrive in the "Action" part of DJing a little bit later. You get very familiar and comfortable with the LIVE software, parameters, and features in LIVE that are really great for DJs like warp mode, audio effect racks and MIDI/Key mapping. Toward the end of the tutorial, you start to get into the more active components of mixing songs... overall, it lays a great foundation for DJing with Ableton. I look forward to the next volume.

Great to dj
I'm a dj for a hobby, and a learning a lot if groove3 is perfect, if I work if this, probable I recommended for all.
I am a: Beginner, Sound Designer, Hobbyist, Student
1. When did you start dabbling in music?
I have been living and breathing music, and music technology, for most of my life. I first got into music by learning guitar over 20 years ago, at around 11 years old, and after playing in bands throughout my school years. I studied Audio engineering at college, at first with analogue tape and MIDI gear using external synths and an early version of Cubase.
2. What training have you had?
After leaving school and earning a living playing in bands for a while I started working in live sound in the mid 1990s, working on a lot of live music events, large and small, while still writing and producing my own music, both solo and with various different bands. By this time my music took more electronic focus, switching to Logic to sequence samplers, synths and drum machines, and record live instruments and vocals.
3. When did you get into recording?
From 2000 I worked in a production studio in the UK, mainly using Logic, Cubase SX, Nuendo, Wavelab, Sound Forge and the Waves plug-ins for audio engineering, and Reason and Acid for music composition, until discovering Ableton Live in 2002.
4. People you have worked with/for?
When MIDI was added to Live in version 4, I focused much more on using Ableton Live with Native Instruments and Waves Plug-ins, getting to know them intimately. Over the last few years I have been an internal tester for Ableton’s upcoming versions and I am also an Ableton Certified Trainer.
5. Why are you so good at training people?
I am good at training people because I have an intimate relationship and passion with the technology I use. I strive to develop a deep understanding of the tools I use and genuinely want to share that expereince with others
