Learn By Doing It
In this course you'll learn how to take an 8-bar loop and turn it into a complete track with the buildups, peaks and drops that make us love music.
We do it all in Session View, where Ableton is at its best, and you get to learn by doing hands-on activities right inside Live.
Here's a sneak preview of one Session Lesson tutorial from the course. They're super cool!
