How will this work?
You’ll get each weeks video content in advance of each live session so you have time to review it in detail on your own time and note down questions. The question and answer periods will be done live via a streaming webinar that allows me to broadcast live streaming video of Ableton on my computer, with audio from Ableton, in realtime. You just click on a private URL I’ll send you and you can follow along on your computer.
The webinar questions and answer sessions will be 3 hours long, once a week, for 3 weeks. Every session will be recorded and available to you as a downloadable video that you can keep and review whenever you want. Every week I’ll also be posting the full set template of the track we’re working on, complete with all samples, patches, racks, automation, adjustments to various plugins, outlines, PDFs, or other supporting materials.
Registration will be first come first serve. We’ll be starting the class on March 11th with the first Q&A Session, so if this sounds like a fit for you, I reccomend signing up now. See you on the course.
Schedule:
This course is three weeks long. Each week you’ll recieve links to download HD videos and Ableton sets that you can go through at your own pace. Then, every Tuesday we’ll host a three hour live question and answer session where you can interact with me directly via a group webinar.
In total there are over ten hours of downloadable videos and nine hours of live question and answer sessions. The live sessions will also be recorded and sent out one week after so you can keep them and review them later as well.
