In this exciting course, I teach you the unique workflows I've developed with Ableton Live to create incredible and engaging music. I show how to get the musical ideas out of your head and into Ableton Live accurately, quickly, and with style. We go over a multitude of tactics, including: pulling emotional responses from listeners, deep diving into beatmaking, leveraging MIDI tools and scale awareness features, utilizing music theory, music career guidance, and so much more!
This beast of a course is jam packed with deep dive tutorials covering every single Ableton Instrument and Device in thorough detail. Each section also features workflows and practical / actionable synthesis and sound design examples for each device making it the most comprehensive guide for sound design available on the internet. Go Beyond Presets and gain the knowledge you need to create any sound imaginable!
This course focuses on teaching you the skills to produce professional, release ready mixes. We go over the fundamentals such as Balance, EQ, Automation, the Stereo Field, Dynamics, Saturation, Home Studio Treatment, Loudness, Referencing, Bus Processing, Self Mastering and so much more. This course instills unique modern workflows to get your mixes sounding incredible AND comparable to your favorite artists.

Anthony’s succinct yet substantive teaching style has proven to be a boon in helping digest a litany of topics across all the material he has released. I’m a big fan & can readily endorse the courses.

His friendly teaching style and passion for Ableton’s abilities sure is contagious! You can rewatch them at your own pace and get inspired to make your musical expressions come to life.

..lessons are clear and well-defined, and everything is demonstrated in a musical context, so I've been enjoying learning because every lesson I complete gives me something new I can use.
The sound design course is amazing. Easy to follow, and easy to understand!

After discovering Seed To Stage on Youtube, I found that Anthony's teaching style combined with his sense of humor and enthusiasm for production / sound design made for very engaging lessons.
I was never able to learn any music production skills before taking Anthony’s courses. I did 8% of his songwriting course so far and I can’t believe what I learned already!
..if you want to learn real, in-depth Ableton from basics to abstract concepts in a structured, professional environment, you can't do better than Seed to Stage.
Anthony has such a laidback yet very informative teaching style. No matter what video I watch, I always take away at least one new technique or method to try out.
Joining Seed to Stage has genuinely changed my (musical) life. I say joining because it not just about the incredibly in depth, easy to follow, well balanced courses, but the also the community.
