Ableton Forum

HI all, I got this coupon for free when upgrading to Ableton Suite.

Now I have to choose one of the courses I attach below in red.

Does anyone can recomend me the best, I am not a begginer nor an expert. Intermediate.

Thank you so much.


These are university-level courses on all aspects of Ableton

Live.

I don't have any experience with the others, but I just finished a 3 month subscription on Sonic Academy and it was great. I really learned a lot. Also just by glancing at the different offers it seems you get a lot more from them for your code. More than half I'd say of their tutorials are in ableton and you'd have access to all that for a month. That's what I'd do. Good luck.

I think your answer also depends on what style of music you are thinking of making. I got some free Sonic Academy videos which were not that bad and did learn some points. I would prefer a course which you could work with peers and professionals in order to perfect your sound. In summary, my experience with Sonic Academy videos were good.

Hi there!

About a year ago I did some research on this subject as well and although all of those courses you mention are well known, there are other - and maybe better - possibilities for you to consider. As mentioned above, this will hugely depend on the style of music you make.

If you're into electronic music production of any kind, the best course I'd suggest for you is this one: http://www.quantizecourses.com/

It's a great way to learn exactly what you want and it's entirely bespoke. I did an 8 week course with them and I'm currently doing a second course to dig even deeper. The tutor is very experienced and clearly a devoted person but the best thing is that you don't just watch some tutorial videos. Instead you get personal (video!) feedback on your progress and you can ask all your questions via email thoughout the course - it's almost like sitting in the studio, next to your teacher. Before the course started, I had a live chat on Skype discussing my needs.

I'm 100% convinced that Quantize Courses is offering the best value on the internet if you're serious about making (electronic) music - no matter what skill level you're currently at.

Cheers,
Michael

I have read loads of computer music magazine.... for the past 3 years...


I have taken both the Berklee School of Music Intro to Ableton Live.... and Advanced Ableton Live... I must say it is the best what... $3000 bucks I have ever spent in my life... and have now basically done a majority of the Sonic Academy tutorials... ...


You cannot go wrong with the Berklee programs if you can afford it.... It really goes deeper beyond you would ever imagine... every single bit of live is explored.... the sonic academy is good after because once you know how to work your software.... and really learn it up and down... things are even easier...

I am talking extreme routing.... setting up instrument racks... exploring every single instrument in Ableton Live... creating single sounds in sampler from a loop..... and getting it in tune..... I mean it is un believable. Meta recording with drum racks.... great background in music theory and how to work and play with a good bit of effects..

That said.. ALL OF THE ABOVE BABY...
