COURSE DESCRIPTION

Become a wizard with all the key instruments included in Ableton Live Suite. Get expert, in depth training in these powerful sound design weapons! An essential course for all producers to master the tools you have at your fingertips. Flex the full power of Ableton Live to create cutting-edge, stand-out sounds for your music.

Has a video of your favorite producer using slick plugins ever inspired you? But then you discover that they cost hundreds of dollars a pop? Have you read that to make a particular type of sound, you HAVE to have a specific synth that costs more than your rent?

Don’t get us wrong: we love using 3rd-party plug-ins — a lot of them are fantastic and a lot of fun. But they’re not always as necessary as their marketing wants you to believe. Understanding how to use what you got is far more critical.

Your instructor, Ian Gallagher (Ableton Certified Trainer), shows how to make pro music with only Ableton instruments. With the right skills, it’s totally possible. Unique and badass sounds are at your fingertips when you unlock the power of Live’s Instruments.

Wouldn’t it be nice to save some money this year? Follow along as Ian (DJ IBG) makes a Future Bass song and reveals the hidden powers of Ableton’s built-in Instruments. If you want to improve your production skills by leaps and bounds, this course is a no brainer!

WHY WE MADE THIS

Rather than spending valuable resources buying and learning new plugins, we wanted to equip you to get more out of the tools you already have. There’s an entire WORLD of possibilities you can explore with the instruments included with Ableton Live and Suite, yet only a very few producers ever realize their potential.

We believe that you should be able to harness the full power of Ableton Live and that’s exactly what spurred us on to offer this in-depth, comprehensive journey into sound design madness! Join us and learn how to master your tools.
