Thanks & good questions :)
The content that makes up this iBook, Mashup Essentials, won't be available as a video tutorial and we're not planning on releasing it in the magazine - especially as it's too big for mag format and our print mag readers won't be able to take advantage of the audio examples used in the iBook.
We may in the future publish a selected chapter from the iBook on The Hub - just like it's possible to download a sample chapter on the iBookstore :)
To be honest, I haven't fully explored Mixed in Key's Mashup software, so couldn't give any hand-on experience or views. I've looked at the feature set which looks respectable for creating Mashups.
What I would say is this iBook goes above and beyond the basics of creating Mashups to create effects that a fully-fledged DAW, like Ableton Live, can help you achieve.
Basically, there are techniques that GW reveals in the iBook that can be used when producing any style of music, sound design, remixes, etc. using Ableton.
Hope this helps,

Great way of explaining how to use Ableton for Mashups.
It's not something that can be converted to video format as this iBook is basically a book with audio examples and more…It's unfortunate that there is no iBook reader for Mac/Pc too…
I haven't come across a review of Mixed in Key Mashup app… but my feeling is if you've got Ableton or Logic (or any DAW) then you have all the tools at your fingertips to make Mashups...
Haven't seen a review of it in any of the major mags, including MPVHub Audio Mag ;-)
Thanks

You can view iBooks on a Mac through the Firefox epub reader addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/epubreader/
the iBook will have an .epub extension.
Right-click on the file and choose to open with Firefox and then you will be able to view the iBook.
It works but not as well as on the iPad/iPhone. You can read all the text and images, but it doesn't play the audio files.
