Produce with Push2 – From Fundamentals To Finishing A Track

Over 5 hours of expert tuition from an inspiring professional.

A multi-angle HD video series from Ableton Certified Trainer mredrollo, taking you through making a track from start to finish using sounds, samples and devices from Ableton Live Intro only.

Ableton Certified Trainer mredrollo AKA Ed Rollo is one of those rare individuals that transforms complex concepts into practical tools you can incorporate into your production workflow straight away. His easy teaching style makes even the most technical of processes more accessible, guiding you to improve your working knowledge of Ableton as well as your general understanding of production techniques.

Overview

Using only sounds and devices from Ableton Live Intro and samples from the Ableton Live Core Library. This course perfectly demonstrates how achievable it is for every budding producer out there with a copy of Ableton Live to make music.

In this video series you’ll go from first conceptualising an idea, to developing the idea into something, fleshing out an arrangement and finally finishing it off.

The course uses the Ableton Push2 throughout the duration of the series but you really could just use any MIDI controller on the market.

This is not an online course or a “how-to” video series. There are hundreds of videos out there that demonstrate the basics of music theory, beat making and how to use Ableton Live and the different functionalities of the Ableton Push. This video series is the practical process of putting all those techniques to use.

Course Features

• 5 hours of practical, focused tuition!

When I first started developing this video series I wanted to focus on creating a track from start to finish entirely on the Push 2. But Push was never designed to be used that way, it was designed to enhance your experience of using Live not to completely replace it.

Are You Ready To Make Music?

There are an abundance of tools out there to help producers make music, sample packs, new gear, updates, schools, masterclasses, podcasts and they’re all trying to sell you something.

This course is designed to inspire new or struggling producers to block out the noise, keep things simple and encourage you to get behind your computer and do the work.

You can purchase all the latest gear and learn all the cutting edge production techniques but nothing will ever replace sitting down and actually doing the work, you just can’t escape it. It’s tough, it takes discipline and commitment but it really is worth it.
