For years I've been teaching Ableton Live in the college classroom. As a University Professor, my classes are sought after, and, frankly, expensive. I believe Ableton Live can be learned by anyone, and cost shouldn't be a barrier. This class uses the same outline and syllabus I've used in my college classes for years, at a fraction of the cost.

This is Part 3: Producing & Editing

This is a really deep class - tons of content, tricks, and tips. I'm giving you SIX sessions to play around with. One of them (the first one) is even a finished, published complete track of mine. We are going to be covering how to produce using Ableton Live, starting from working with clips and going all the way up to some advanced production techniques. Topics include:

• Looping
• Locators
• Key Mapping
• Reversing Clips
• Time Signatures Changes (session and arrangement)
• Meter Changes (session and arrangement)
• Adding harmony
• Working with vocal samples
• Creating beats
• Working with one-shots
• Slice to MIDI for beat production
• Drum racks (!)
• Consolidating
• Recording/Writing Drum grooves
• Layering Synths
• Freezing & Flattening
• Audio Effects
• Automating Effects
• Side-Chaining
• Routing & Bussing
• Resampling
• ...and much more!

I will be making 6 (six!) complete classes in order to bring you the most comprehensive manual on Ableton Live production techniques ever created. Each class has Sets, sessions, and experiments for you to try on your own and follow along with.

You will not have another opportunity to learn Ableton Live in a more comprehensive way that this. Start here.
