Ready to take your Ableton skills to the next level?

This two-evening course is for aspiring audio editors, producers, and engineers aged 18–25 who already have some experience with Ableton Live and want to build confidence using more advanced workflows in a professional studio environment.

Through guided workshops and practical exercises, you’ll explore how Ableton Live is used across real-world music and audio production settings. You’ll develop your editing, mixing, and production techniques while learning new ways to approach creative and technical workflows within the DAW.

By the end of the course, you’ll leave with a completed piece of audio you’ve mixed or edited in Ableton Live, alongside a stronger understanding of the software and greater confidence in your own practice.

What you’ll get

• Deeper insight into how Ableton Live is used in professional music and audio production
• Exploration of Ableton’s stock plugins and editing tools
• Hands-on studio training with professional guidance
• Focused group learning in a supportive environment
• Practical experience developing your own workflows and creative process
