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. This book will not teach you how to use a compressor, program a synthesizer, or make a great-sounding kick drum. Those aspects of music-making are already well covered. What it will teach you is how to make music using those tools, with a specific emphasis on solving musical problems, making progress, and (most importantly) finishing what you start. Review: Some of the best advice - The format of this book is quite intriguing. He sets up situations that musicians find themselves in and gives concrete, doable and creative methods to fix those problems. I’m still a newbie and his simple approach made so much sense. In the world of video everything, it was refreshing to simply sit down and read a chapter whenever I had time. It’s not a page turner like a novel but I did read it slowly so as to absorb his principles. Not sure there are other books on this topic to compare with but I’m certainly glad I invested in it and appreciate his sharing this gem with fellow musicians and music lovers. His writing style was comfortable and inviting; like someone you would love to meet in person. Review: I'm already demonstrably better as a composer and have an easier time getting ... - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #103,772 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 858 Reviews | ## Images ![Making Music: 74 Creative Strategies for Electronic Music Producers - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sFBs7cIiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some of the best advice *by L***A on March 10, 2020* The format of this book is quite intriguing.
