Our flagship electronic music production course “Ableton Live: Produce Your First Track” was designed as both an introduction and deep dive into the world of music production. The course focusses on students applying concepts right away so that each student has finished an original track by the end of the course.
Next course starts: November 7
This course was designed for students that already have a good understanding of Live and are looking to deepen their knowledge by uncovering some of Live’s more complex features.

This course, created by John Selway, is the result of his many years as a musician and sound designer searching for interesting ways to make unique sounds using synthesizers and samplers. The course teaches the fundamentals of sound design and explores the various synthesis and sampling techniques so that students can ultimately navigate any type of synthesizer. Throughout the course, students will be applying their skills directly to creative projects to make music and will leave the class with an arsenal of their signature sounds.

“You can make a great track, but if the mix isn’t right, you won’t get to your audience. It doesn’t matter if you are playing at home or at Berghain”. This course will teach you a systematic method to achieving a great mix, from gain-staging and panning, EQ and compression, sound coloration and stereo imaging, to mastering and finishing touches. Learn to bring out the flavor in your productions, and to achieve a polished, release-ready mix right on your laptop.
Next course starts: October 26
