ASK Video Interactive Media is now shipping a new instructional DVD for Ableton’s Live music creation, production and performance software.

Morgan Pottruff, aka Morg, a veteran international performer, producer and remixer has used Live for everything from electronic-classical to techno since version 1. He shares his expertise through 38 videos, totaling more than 3 hours of instruction on everything from creating and producing to performing with Live.

With an easy to follow style and a knack for making the difficult seem easy, Morg takes the user through the installation process to final product, covering along the way such subjects as the mixer, arranging vs. session views, warping, audio recording and effects, automation, MIDI, ReWire, VST instruments and sync.

“Morg has done an incredible job on the Live Tutorial DVD” states Steve Kostrey, CEO of ASK Video. “His extraordinary knowledge of Live along with his fantastic audio examples really allow the user to learn the program from the perspective of a true professional who uses it day-in and day-out. It’s like having him sitting right next to you.”
