Berlin Ableton User Group is back! This meetup is open to producers, songwriters, DJs, and musicians of all types and proficiency levels who use Ableton and are looking to exchange ideas, network, meet like-minded producers, and learn new tips and tricks from our presenters and fellow participants. This event will be held at House of Music Cafe on the ground floor of House of Music.
This month, producer, DJ and 343 Labs intern Pedro Freitas, aka DRINHO, will lead an Ableton Wavetable Masterclass. Go beyond presets and learn to sculpt your own sounds that move. In this masterclass, you’ll dig into Ableton’s Wavetable synth — morphing waveforms, modulating with LFOs and envelopes, and even building your own Wavetables by importing your own audio — to build evolving pads, growling basses, and expressive leads from scratch. No need to bring your laptop or other materials. Producers of all skill levels are invited to attend.
