Going Deeper With Ableton Live

February 23, 2025
2:00pm - 5:00pm

Join us for a creative journey through our Library of Loops, Instruments, and Sounds to get you started making new music.

This three-hour workshop is for people who have fooled around with Ableton Live a little bit, but want some help making real progress with their creative ideas.

This time you'll learn how to build a track by simply dragging and dropping the sounds you like into a new Project.

In this hands-on workshop you will be playing sounds, listening to music, and exploring creative options inside Live. 

It's like cutting up magazines to make a collage -- but we're doing it with beats!

We're going to play with drum loops, basslines, chords, melodic loops and FX, as well as simple techniques for building a song.

This is where Ableton Live is at its best, and you're going to get a headfirst dive into it.

Register and join us!  Space is limited so don’t wait. Eight seats available.

WHAT TO EXPECT
Tech 25 will provide computers with Ableton Live for you to use, and downloads to help you retain what you learn. The class will be taught by Steve Knots. 

Please note: the Going Deeper workshop is for Ableton users who have a basic level of familiarity with the program. We love beginners, but this is not typically for first-time users.
