COURSE DESCRIPTION

• Ableton Live 11 is coming out soon! Among all the new features and updates are 3 stunning new audio effects. In this video, Ableton Certified Trainer Ian Gallagher will show these devices in action and let you hear the incredible sounds they can create.
• Hybrid Reverb is not just any reverb. It delivers the best of both worlds, letting you blend between convolution and algorithmic reverb styles however you wish. It includes vintage reverb emulations, feedback, pre-delay in musical values, a Mono button for the low-end, and a built-in EQ. Long story short, Live finally has a world-class, highly flexible reverb in its library.
• Spectral Resonator is a unique sound design tool, capable of almost anything. This beast takes audio and breaks it into partials, which you can then stretch, shift, blur, and filter to achieve some mind-blowing new sounds. Watch how Ian transforms a raw sawtooth patch into a soft and dreamy instrument. The possibilities with this new device are indeed endless… it’s a sound-mangler’s delight. 
• And finally, there’s the new Spectral Time, which is similar to Spectral Resonator, but at the same time quite distinct. This fresh audio effect slices sound into partials and treats them a dose of frequency-based delay. The results range from jarring to blissed-out Zen garden lushness. Watch how Ian uses Spectral Time to transform a tired trap riser into something novel. You just have to hear Spectral Time for yourself.
• Ian has put these 3 effects into 3 Instrument Racks, which you can download in the course. These Racks take advantage of Racks’ tremendous new capabilities in Live 11: you can now customize the number of Macros you want to use, randomize Macros for happy accidents, and save Macro configurations within the Rack, like presets.

• A good workflow makes good music. At Warp Academy, we believe in building smart strategies as musicians and producers to maximize your time and creative energy. With so many distractions in our world nowadays, it’s easier than ever to get bogged down in music production’s technical side. But a good workflow saves you time — and more time means more creative energy and better music. Who doesn’t want to make better music, right?  
• Like producing with heart? Templates allow you to start creating with a palette of your favourite instruments and effects so that you can jump right to the good stuff. Templates enable you to focus on what’s great musically, not what’s technically correct.
• Step up your rhythm game! Grooves have been around for a long time in Ableton Live and are like instant inspiration. But did you know about them? Well, now they have a nice folder in the Browser that you can’t miss! Drag Grooves onto your clips to instantly transform your music in shocking ways! 
• Multiclip Editing in Live 11 also just got better. The new Focus button ensures that you can’t mess up other clips when editing MIDI (a common issue). And you can adjust the loop length of multiple clips at the same time, which is badass.
• Finally, you can now Link tracks in Live 11. Linking tracks means that when you edit one clip, you’ve instantly edited all the other ones too. This is fantastic news for vocal production or audio recordings that used multiple microphones. You can Link MIDI tracks also! Unless you enjoy endless hours of editing, you don’t want to miss learning about this feature.
