$Intermediate Ableton Skills \u2014 4 Week Online Seminar$

Deepen your Ableton skills. A hands-on seminar for producers ready to move beyond the basics & build more creative, personalised workflows.
About this Event

Join us for a fully online, hands-on seminar designed for musicians and producers who already have some experience with Ableton Live and want to deepen their creative and technical skills. This class is a space for producers, composers, beat-makers, live performers, and electronic musicians who are ready to move beyond the basics and start shaping more sophisticated, personalised workflows.

In this seminar we’ll focus on how to use Ableton more creatively, efficiently, and expressively. Many users reach a plateau where they know the fundamentals but feel stuck using the same tools, presets, or habits, this course is designed to help you break out of that. Whether you’re editing and recording audio but want more control; curious about building your own instruments; integrating hardware synths or live instruments; or trying to develop a more distinctive sound, this is a space to experiment, refine, and level up.

Perfect for musicians and producers working with electronic music, hybrid setups, live performance, or studio-based composition who want to deepen their technical fluency and creative identity.

Dates: Feb 11th, Feb 18th, March 4th, March 11th

Time: 6.30 – 8 PM GMT / 1.30 – 3 PM EST/ 10.30 – 12 PM PST

Location: Online

Class Structure

Each session will combine short, focused demonstrations on intermediate production techniques, including advanced(-ish!) audio manipulation, multi-sampling, complex drum programming, MIDI tools, and working with external hardware or instruments, followed by guided practical exercises.

Across the four weeks, you’ll develop your own creative toolkit: building custom instruments, designing templates and racks, experimenting with sound transformation, and creating smart workflows that support both composition and mixing. Classes are interactive and practice-led, with time to apply ideas directly in Ableton, ask detailed questions, and troubleshoot real projects. There will also be opportunities to share work with peers, receive constructive feedback, and reflect on how to design systems that help you hone your sound rather than slow you down.
