Watch the course overview for a more in-depth look at what you’ll get out of the course, and listen to the track you will make
Hi, I’m Jon Merritt from Born To Produce. On this course you will learn to make music in Ableton Live, by following along step by step, and making a complete track from start to finish. On the way, you’ll learn everything about Ableton and music production to be able to make your own music, in any genre you like.
To listen to the track you will make, please watch the ‘Course Intro Video’
This is an entirely practical way to learn how to use Ableton to make music, it’s loads of fun, and above all it’s really rewarding, as each lesson you complete gets you closer to having a complete track. You go through and make the track in exactly the same way you will do when you make your own music, so the skills you learn here can be taken and directly used when working on your own future projects.
By the time you have completed this course, you will be able to…
– Easily understand and navigate the Ableton interface
