Are you a music maker, aspiring producer, or professional producer looking to up your game? This is the place to start.

Ableton Live can be a little intimidating. It’s a powerful program, and it has some oddities that you have to get used to. But don’t worry – that’s what I’m here for.

Hi – my name is Jason, and I am one of only a handful of Ableton Certified Trainers. That means I’ve proven myself both as a user and as an educator to the Ableton corporation, and they have given me their stamp of approval. I am the only Ableton Certified Trainer who also has a Ph.D. in music, and is a university professor as well.

Years ago I made my first Ableton class – a six-part class focused on Ableton Live 9. I learned from that and improved it in my top-rated Ableton Live 10 class, and now I’ve made it even better with my brand new Ableton Live 11 class.

Welcome to ULTIMATE ABLETON LIVE 11 Masterclass Edition: PARTS 4, 5, and 6 Combined.

This class contains the full versions of my three top Ableton Live 11 classes:

  • Ultimate Ableton Live 11, Part 4: Synthesis & Sound Design
  • Ultimate Ableton Live 11, Part 5: Audio & MIDI Effects
  • Ultimate Ableton Live 11, Part 6: Mixing, Mastering, and DJing


What is this Ableton Live 11 Course all about?

In this class, we are going to learn Ableton Live 11, and every aspect of the program. We will focus on how to do everything possible in Ableton Live, and you will finish this course as an expert in Ableton Live 11. Whether you have experience in music production already or not, this is the ultimate class to learn how to use the Ableton Live 11 software for any genre of music.

If you are using an earlier version of Ableton Live, (Live 10, or Live 9) you should be able to follow along with most of the class.


I’ll also be giving you some extras:

What makes me qualified to teach you?

I’ve already told you that I am one of only a few Ableton Certified Trainers. I also have a Ph.D. in music, I am a university music professor, and have a long list of awards for teaching.

But more importantly: I use Ableton Live 11 every day. I produce music professionally, and I stay on top of all the latest producing techniques, workflows, and styles. As you will see in this class, I just love this stuff. And I love teaching it.

You will not have another opportunity to learn about Ableton Live in a more comprehensive way than this.
