This Advanced Ableton Live & Push 2 course is for people who have a strong foundation knowledge in Ableton - you have completed our 6 session course (or similar) or have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the software (warping audio, FX, MIDI instruments etc).
London is where Garnish began, and the Advanced Ableton Live & Push 2 here is taught by producers working in the city's studios, clubs and labels. Groups are small, classes are hands-on, and the same course runs live online for students elsewhere in the UK and Europe.
In this 2-day advanced workshop with our Ableton Certified Trainer Marcello Ruggiu, you will learn advanced synthesis /sampling and audio manipulation techniques that will greatly enhance the sonic tools available to you when producing music and sound. You will also greatly expand your working knowledge of Live – learning to use it quickly and intuitively, seamlessly integrating into the Push 2 hardware.
What you will learn: Advanced Ableton techniques – getting in-depth with racks, chains and routing to create complex and evolving layers of instruments, rhythms and FX and parallel process for huge stacked sounds.
