Pros and cons of Course For Ableton Live 101 app for iPhone and iPad

Course For Ableton Live 101 app good for

I was having issues with this app. I could not view any of the tutorials with my iPod touch 2 g os 4.2.1. I e-mailed Appomator who informed me that my device was not supported, although this was not stated in the app store. I was directed to another site to download the tutorials. now I finally have the tutorials I paid for. Pros.... good tech support Cons....misleading requirements on app store
Worth every penny! I recommend this app to all you visual learners out there. I hate reading manuals, but I do it when need be. This is a great alternative. The biggest manual I have seen thus far is the ableton 8 one.. And this video sure lessens the workload so I can focus more on producing!

Some bad moments

It does not work or contain any video or tutorial!!!! IT IS A Frode!!!
The interface is straight forward and easy to use. The main problem is the video lessons only play a segment of the duration of each video which makes it impossible to learn anything at all since the get cut short. I truly hope this gets updated and addressed pretty soon because Im going to be really upset given the price I paid.
There are a ton of lessons, but Ill me damned if I understand the order its in, or why he chose it. I have had Live for a couple months, and I know it well enough to have used it onstage for the last couple shows, as well as to have written a couple songs on it. Still, I feel I have only the very beginning of understanding of this program, so I bought these lessons. ...but the order in which he talks about stuff is baffling. Lesson one is this guy babbles about what he regrets about his music career, followed by why he thinks this software is good. Thats a lesson? Why the hell do I care about him getting stuck in the studio and missing performing? I dont. Still, maybe this is just his version of an intro. Lesson two, this guy starts babbling about how to jump around in a DJ set using hot keys. Honestly, thats the FIRST thing we are taught? hot key shortcuts in a DJ set? Shouldnt "loading a file" or "building a set" come before little tricky ways to navigate an already built song? How about a global understanding of the interface? After lesson three, I still havent been given a overview...so I think Im gunna give up. The manual works better then this. And did I mention he does annoying/insulting impressions? He uses a dumb hick voice to represent you, the viewer. Nice, arent you glad you just gave him ten bucks? Im not. Should YOU buy it? If you dont mind listening to 6 1/2 hours of random information, while ignoring insults, and then try to collate it in your brain later... then sure, snag it. Honestly, theres probably a ton of good data in here, but I dont have the patience for this haphazard mess.
complete waste of $10! do not purchase unless you start seeing positive reviews here.
I have had Ableton Live for awhile, but never really understood how to use it effectively (Live is a bit different than most recording software). These tutorials have have been very helpful in helping me understand and utilize the software and I find myself re-watching many of the tutorials to help me with tools I do not use very often. The videos and the narration are clear and easy to follow. While I knew a lot of the information covered, I learned something from each tutorial. I recommend these tutorials to anyone wanting to learn to use Live or who is thinking about purchasing the software.
These videos are a very nice introduction to Live. It is not going deep in some parts but it covers a lot of the functionalities so that you can get the basic idea of what is possible and then experiment or use other sources to further dig into that topic. Also the instructor is quite nice and entertaining. Overall it is much nicer than reading the manual to get started and you can listen to the result of the different things! Forget about the reviewers that gave one star, one even thought it was the full program instead of the tutorial (sic) It is a bit unfair from his side to give such a rating because it is a nice piece of work... I used the iPAD version, if the iPhone version is giving problems is a different story. But i guess the iphone is to small to really see well and follow what is going on...
