Course Description

Learn music production and mixing in Ableton Live 10 with this free, start-to-finish masterclass designed to take you from first launch to confident workflow. You will get comfortable with the initial setup, a clear UI overview, and the core concepts that make sessions run smoothly, including clips and signal flow.

Build practical sound-shaping skills as you explore essential devices and techniques used in modern productions. Develop control over tone and space with EQ, delay, and reverb, and add character with saturation-style processing and creative bit reduction. Strengthen your drum programming and sampling workflow with tools like Drum Rack and Simpler, and learn how to shape synth parts with instruments such as Analog, Operator, and Wavetable.

Improve mix clarity and loudness by understanding dynamics from the ground up. You will work with gates, compressors, glue compression, limiters, and real-world dynamics usage so you can make mixes punchier, cleaner, and more balanced. You will also dive into modulation effects such as chorus and flanger for movement and width.

Finish with time and arrangement techniques that speed up production, including warping for tight timing and flexible tempo changes, advanced filtering, and performance-ready organization methods like consolidating and freezing. By the end, you will have a stronger command of Ableton Live 10 tools and a repeatable process for producing and mixing tracks efficiently.
