Ableton Live

Record, mix and master your own songs with Ableton Live, guided by top producer and Ableton software developer Sie Medway-Smith (Rita Ora, U2, David Guetta and more)

24 x 90 minute masterclasses in real-time then available on replay

“Let me show you how fun and easy to use Ableton Live can be!”

Sie says…

I have been using Ableton Live in my workflow for more than fifteen years. Whether I’m songwriting, producing, mixing or simply trying out ideas with friends or band mates, Ableton Live gives me the tools to achieve what I need to do in a fluid and flexible way.

Live is an intuitive interface with more than one way to get ideas out of your head and into the real world. This 24 week course will take you step by step from the very basics of getting set up all the way to more advanced concepts such as audio and midi manipulation.

Every two weeks for a whole year, I will be teaching you the Ableton Live how to’s, do’s and don’ts that I have learnt over the many years I’ve been using and teaching it.

Check out the full course and schedule for all 24 masterclasses HERE (opens in new window)

This course is aimed at aspiring songwriters, musicians, producers or anyone that doesn’t always fit the mold, giving you the tools to take your music, whether acoustic or electronic to the next level by filling in the gaps.

I have successfully used Ableton Live in my workflow from writing sessions with Rita Ora or taking artists such as David Guetta and Rudimental from the studio to the stage. Mixing albums and projects for the likes of Björk to Depeche Mode to name a few.

Knowing how to use Ableton Live fluently has been one of the key ingredients to these successes. Join me for 24 sessions of know-how and knowledge.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Meredith

Thank you for sharing your insights and revelations! It’s truly a beautiful gift to have people willing to share what they have learned.

Riccardo

Thanks Martin, this is awesome!

Dan

Brilliant first session Martin. Very insightful and learnt so much! A lot of great techniques to take away from that webinar, I will be using the 7 step planner immediately. Looking forward to the assignment and the next 49 weeks.

Shayne

Wow, wow, wow— Thank you so much for the stellar Week One webinar, Martin. My thoughts are just racing right now. And I am a bit nervous and freaked out at the moment… ha ha. I haven’t been active making music in over 25 years. But the assignment is just the kick in the back-side that I need right now to actually get me creating again. I’m the master ninja of procrastination– so this is really the push to get me moving. Thank you so much for the push to get going, Martin. Much gratitude

Todd

I just wanted to thank both of you for your time, song critique and suggestions. I found the call with Angela extremely informative and helpful.  Martin your analysis of my tune was spot on!  I will pair my skills together with your suggestions and come up with a plan to proceed forward. Thanks again!

 

Jasmina

I wanted to let you know that already from your masterclass last night, I feel like I am in the right place – this is exactly the kind of support I needed right now at this stage in my career. Furthermore, having taken other academic courses in songwriting, I really love and value your particular approach, mindset and the content of your teaching from your professional experience, it really is compressing “decades into days”.

Rachel

I am sure you have hundreds of emails but I just wanted to thank you most sincerely for being so generous with your time, giving us such a good webinar and sharing your love of songwriting. It was great, useful and enjoyable.
