For many artists, nothing inspires more existential terror than actually making art. The fear that we’re not good enough or that we don’t know enough results in untold numbers of creative crises and potential masterpieces that never get realized.
Electronic musicians used to be able to hide behind clunky, emerging technology as an excuse for inaction. But musicians today live in a golden age of tools and technology. A ninety-nine-cent smartphone app can give you the functionality of a million-dollar recording studio. A new song can be shared with the world as soon as it’s finished. Tutorials for every sound design or music production technique can be found through a Google search. All of these developments have served to level the playing field for musicians, making it possible for a bedroom producer to create music at a level that used to be possible only for major-label artists.
But despite all of this, making music is still hard. Why?
Making Music was written both to answer this question and to offer ways to make it easier. It presents a systematic, concrete set of patterns that you can use when making music in order to move forward. It will teach you how to make music using technology, with a specific emphasis on solving musical problems, making progress, and (most importantly) finishing what you start.

I'm going to find the time to come back and give this a proper review, but in the meantime, 5 stars.This book is everything I thought and hoped it would be from the previews at the Ableton site... and more, much more. Never before have those vague "unanswerables" about creativity been so well answered, at least as it pertains to electronic music production. This book is definitely focused on electronic production (not EDM genres in specific) - the composition side, the neglected one. Anyone who struggles with writing music in general, electronic or not, will benefit - but parts are definitely specific to music made by computers.
I'm already demonstrably better as a composer and have an easier time getting started after reading through one time, and I expect I will be re-reading and referencing back to this book over and over for a long time to come.
If you've got any doubts, read the preview chapters on the official makingmusic.ableton site - though many of the best are reserved for the book itself.
Proper review forthcoming.
Note: This is NOT specific to Ableton users in any way - no matter your DAW, this will not exclude you. I use Maschine and found zero conflicts in that regard. Ableton is used for screenshots of the sequencer patterns, nothing more.

Making Music 74 Creative Strategies for Electronic Music Producers edition by Dennis DeSantis Arts Photography eBooks Reviews
This is a good book! Some strategies discussed could apply to other creative fields as well. The sections are kinda short and don't go into much detail.
Essential reading for any musician, not just electronic ones. This book is an easy read. I don't work in a DAW, which gets a fair bit of attention here, but I still found it to be full of suggestions that pushed my creative boundaries and let me look differently at the process of making music.
I've been making music for a long time & making music with computers since 1998. I wish I had access to this book in 1998. I'm going to be going back to this well again & again. Highly recommended. Also, even though the author works for Ableton, it's really in no way is a how-to for Abelton, it's much more DAW agnostic & really about the unique challenges making music with computers bring.
I picked up this book having high expectations since I have digested a large amount of music production books, magazines and video tutorials. This book does a great job at addressing common roadblocks that I have encountered.
Even though the author works for ableton, this book still does a fantastic job approaching the subject of digital music production while being software agnostic.
With so many options for sound design and music composition in the digital realm, this book has been a breath of fresh air.
I expect to read this book a few times over for inspiration and strategies when approaching music production. I feel that the subject matter will last the rest of time and will still be relevant for years to come.
Do you want to dig up some more creative ideas? Sure, we all do.
This book is the coach needed by those of us who've been making music for decades and are looking to jump out of those familiar and boring habits, and those who are just getting started with a DAW and wanting to corrall and harness the limitless possibilities of modern music making.
I've only been through it once, but it's already full of highlights, and I foresee my residing in my studio for some time to come.
For what it is, it's amazingly inexpensive. I have cables that cost more.
As a new student to music in general and synthesizer music I really enjoyed this book and recommended It does a lot to give you ways to get "unstuck and start" creativity. I got it as a Edition on and listen to it over my Alexa device that read it at night. I will go through it as the book next. It was recommended to me by
BoBeats on YouTube. Note it is only available as a edition on in the US. Thanks for all you do!
This is the book I was always looking for but couldnt find. Its written like Q&A between "student" and "teacher". The student asks common and not so common questions and the teacher uses a page or two to explains how its normal to deal with this issue and his own very effective solution! It starts out with some advice that I already solved in almost identical ways to what the author suggested. But I would be thankfull if i had this book earlier. As you start reading this book you get to advice that you would expect from the likes of Eno, that could work for both new and advanced musicians.
Oh yeah it also doesnt mention ableton live by name ever. Thats very cool since i use logic.
I'm going to find the time to come back and give this a proper review, but in the meantime, 5 stars.
