5 Ableton Communities Worth Checking Out – AbletonOp AbletonOp isn’t the only site in the Ableton Live community worth reading (even if we do offer the best free Ableton resources). Kendall and I read through Ableton blogs every day, and here are 5 places that stand out from the rest. 1. The Ableton Cookbook This is a pretty comprehensive site that covers some unique features most people wouldn’t notice. 2. Although Dubspot isn’t an Ableton-only resource, they do post some great Ableton Live content. 3. This is, in my opinion, the best Ableton forum on the internet. 4. CDM also isn’t an Ableton Live dedicated source, but they do post some of the best Ableton content on the internet. 5. Nick posts some great Ableton Live tutorials on his blog, and goes pretty in-depth technically. Keep up! Add these to your feed reader and keep up with the communities!
