When you hear the term “electronic music” do you think of dance music, or ambient music, or robot-voice music? Well, using the computer to make music doesn’t have to mean those kinds of music. In fact, you can make almost any kind of music on the computer, and in this one-day intensive workshop you will learn how to make the music you want using the music creation software Ableton Live.
We will start with the basics of how Live works, and then dive into the many ways to make music with it. We’ll cover using built-in loops to put a song together; how to use MIDI to make your own loops; how to arrange a song; and the basics of mixing so you can add polish to your piece. Come along for a fun and full day of making music!
No experience with Ableton Live or making electronic music is necessary. This workshop is perfect for people who have never made electronic music, or who do already make music, but want to learn to do it in Live. You can download a 90-day free trial of Live here.
