Ableton Live - Produce a Whole song (MIDI, Vocal recording, Arrangement, Mixing, Mastering)

If you have always wanted to learn music production, pressing buttons that make sound or create a track with your computer, then this class is for you! You can use any version of Live to learn and don't worry if you have never used Live before, as I will teach you everything you need to know so that you can get started! 

I know starting music production can be daunting as a complete beginner. But don't worry! This course is designed so, that you will learn the workflow of creating your own track/beat/song while learning the basic functions of Ableton Live. 

The aim of this course is to make you enjoy music-making with Ableton Live and give you a workflow, that you can then adapt to your own creative process. We will go through Session View's main features and how to use this unique space to pin down ideas and create MIDI/audio. I will show you the key equipment for recording, as well as give an explanation on how to install it all.

Then I will talk about the arrangement, as well as editing in arrangement view. This step is especially important for finishing your track and not getting stuck with small details. After we will look at effects and how to use effects with the return tracks. Super fun and easy way to start mixing your song! 

Finally, I will go through the concepts of EQ (Equalizer) and Compressor,  which are going to help you to mix the track and make it bigger and louder! And after I will show in a couple of easy steps how you can master the track and make it stand out of the mass! Then you can export the track and volá, you are done! 

Easy and you are now ready to use Ableton Live in your daily creation process!
