Ableton Live 8 Explained® - Vol 2 is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 3 .
Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Awesome. Super helpful, I keep coming back to these to spruce up my Ableton skills.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from Also suitable as a follow up series for Ableton Live 9 For a while I did not really look into this series, because I have Live 9 and I thought "what can I learn from a series about Live 8". But I was wrong. There really are videos in this Ableton Live 8 Explained vol 2 series that are still helpful for a Live 9 user. I have watched the Live 9 Explained before, but I did find that some topics where not explained enough. This Ableton Live 8 series vol 2 is filling in some gaps for me. The teacher is explaining everything very well and detailed. That is why I can still recommend it if you already watched Ableton Live 9 explained.

Rated 5.0 out of 5 by from One of the best These two videos, Vol 1 and Vol 2 are clear and very thorough. I've purchased many if not most of the Ableton video series and I feel that these two are the best of the lot. The video's cover Ableton 7 & 8, NOT the latest version but everything in here is relevant. The dept of coverage of tricks, tips, keyboard controls, ways of editing is more in depth than any of the other Ableton 9 videos available. If you really want to drill into this program, I highly recommend these two. The instructor is clear, thorough and very logical in his approach. I wish he'd update these videos to this degree of depth for the current version, yet nothing is lost by purchasing these gems. All the fundamentals are there. And, they are available at a cheap price!
