Course Description:

Ableton Live is geared towards songwriters, producers, performers, creative DJs, sound designers and remixers—anyone interested in making music. So many people are starting to use Live because of the streamlined workflow and flexibility to create all different types of music. In fact, Live is the only software solution designed for each stage of a musician’s process. From creation, to production, to performance, Ableton offers incredibly smooth workflow and fun.

This course is designed to learn the ins and outs of Live and producing music with it. All levels are welcome, however a basic knowledge of computer music is preferred. Since Live works both linearly and non-linearly, the class will focus on each of these sides of the program. The student will learn the software’s features and capabilities, as well as how to create original compositions in their preferred skill set.
