LEARN ABLETON LIVE 2

MASTER ABLETON'S TOOLKIT.

Learn to use the instruments and effects available in Ableton Live to take your tracks to the next level. Push beyond presets and start building your own sounds with Live's synthesizers and samplers, then make those sounds glow, move, and breathe using Live's audio effects and automation.
Everything you need to know to create your own original sounds with Ableton Live:

  • Make your own basses, leads, percussion, and sound FX from scratch!
  • Add flavor and dimension to every sound in your song with audio effects
  • Add depth to your songs with your own deep, lush atmospheres
  • Start mixing your new track using EQ, compression, and saturation
