Who this course is for:

• Students who want a comprehensive understanding of Ableton Live
• Anyone interested in producing tracks, beats, synths, or any other music on their own
• Students looking to understand the deeper levels of Ableton Live

What you’ll learn: 

• Produce music using Ableton Live
• Use drum samples to edit, arrange, and create unique drum beats of your own.
• Work inside Ableton Live for completing full tracks
• Kickstart your productions with my tracks – full sessions included in this class!

Requirements: 

• Taking Ultimate Ableton Live: Part 1 – The Interface & The Basics is a great place to start, but not required to get the most out of this course.
• Taking Ultimate Ableton Live: Part 3 – Recording & Warping is also great, but not required to get the most out of this course.
• Access to Ableton Live will be required. Using the trial version (free for 30 days) would be a great way to start.

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.

Praise for other classes by J. Anthony Allen:

“Dr. Allen does it again with his music theory for electronic musicians series. This course really opened up everything I learned from the 1st section and now I understand more about the composition side of things for music. I highly highly recommend this course to anyone!!! Really opened my eyes to many things I wasn’t aware of.”

“The Best Teacher ever, who makes you understand the ins & outs of Music Theory by all mean without giving what you don’t want to know.”

“I have never had any formal training in music at all. Trying to learn all the notes and how everything translated was a serious challenge. After going thru this class, Dr. J has totally brought down the barriers. The content was very useful and was easy to grasp for me.”
