Whats inside the seed to stage courses?

VegardHa
Both [the Live Performance & Pigments courses] are very thorough & go into great detail, covering basically anything you need to know. The information is well presented, & the videos don't get boring.

They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for, and with Anthony, you get a lot for what you pay for. His videos are thoughtful, comprehension & the design of the courses make a lot of sense!
Dominick Antonelli
I purchased the full series of lessons and my gosh it is so packed! I've only made it through a small portion so far, and have lots more to learn and apply to my own music creations.
Ethan
Watch the free one and see what you think. I am glad I bought it. Also, once you are a student, you get a pretty deep discount on Ableton and Arturia stuff which was nice to grab.

I would recommend the Seed To Stage courses to anyone who desires to get a handle on and up their game with Live.

I'd highly recommend these courses to anyone serious about music production and can vouch that spending money on a course compared to fishing through YouTube will fast track progression.
Diego Vivar
Excellent experience - everything I would look for in a good product is in Seed to Stage. Reasonable price, good service, and best of all Anthony teaches his content incredibly well.

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.
Michael R
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!
Kokula
I started with the Ableton Live performance course and got hooked. Anthonys way of teaching totally resonates with how i understand things.

..if you are looking for the quickest way to get the learning out of the way and have the absolute time of your life creating music, feel the stoke and jump right in, you've found the right place.
Paul McM
..Anthony has recently updated and added to the content of all the courses with the new Live version 12 additions. All part of the membership, which also sets S2S apart from the rest.

Songwriting and Composition in Ableton Live

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 tactics for pulling emotional responses from listeners, dive into beatmaking, music theory, and so much more!

Sound Design and Synthesis in Ableton Live

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 web. Go Beyond Presets!
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, Recording Techniques, and Mastering. But we also get into synergistic effect combos and unique modern workflows to get your mixes sounding incredible.

Live Performance and Looping in Ableton Live

If you're looking to take Ableton onstage, this course is a game changer! Everything from clip launching, MIDI mapping and control, live effect processing, arrangement performance, live instruments, syncing, audio interfaces, live looping using two different approaches, presetting, follow actions, dummy clips, world building and more is covered in this massive training.

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm new to Ableton, which course should I begin with?

If you are new to Ableton Live, I recommend that when you enroll in my courses, that you also add my new Beginner mini course at checkout:
Your First Song in 11 Days: A Beginner's Course for Ableton Live
This short 11 day training will get you up to speed and primed to take on my Four Main Courses with everything you will need to know. If you take the beginner course first, you will gain the skills and terminology needed to hit the ground running on the Four Main Courses: Songwriting, Mixing, Sound Design, and Live Performance. You can enroll in any of our four main Ableton courses and add the beginner course during the checkout process at a discounted rate OR choose to bundle it with the Main Courses for even bigger savings!

Are the courses up to date?

As Ableton rolls out new features, the Seed To Stage courses are constantly updated with lessons covering new features and UI changes. This is a never ending process which usually begins whenever Ableton launches a Beta for a new version. It then takes some time to digest those new changes and features to ensure that all content lives up to the standards I set for myself. You can also vote on which features to priorize in the Private Student Discord, available to all students of my Four Main Courses!

Do I need to install anything?

You will need a working version of Ableton Live.
If you do not have Ableton installed, you can get a FREE demo of Ableton for 30 days from Ableton.com!
Also, the folks at Ableton have recognized Seed To Stage as a valued educational outlet. Thanks to them, I am happy to say that we can offer a whopping 30% discount for both NEW and UPGRADED Ableton Live Licenses! This applies to students of our Four Main Courses: Songwriting, Sound Design, Mixing / Mastering, and Live Performance. So if you are new to Ableton (or you're using an illegitimate copy), let us help you get the best price!

What if I'm not satisfied with the courses?

I stand by the content here in these courses and know them to be the largest and most thorough Ableton Live education resources available on the web. I can guarantee that these courses will not only level up your music production game considerably, but they will also provide you with an awesome, supportive community and continued mentorship from me and other members via our private Discord community. 

I am so confident that you will deeply value these courses that I include a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee for my Four Main Courses in case you decide they are not for you!

What all comes with enrollment?

As a Seed To Stage student, you get lifetime access to the ever expanding set of video lesson content in whichever courses you enroll in. This includes free course updates, including new content for Ableton Live 12! No monthly charges, no drip content - you get it all right away and forever! 

Enrollees in any of the Four Main Courses also get access to our private Seed To Stage community Discord where you can get answers to your questions in real time, feedback on your tracks and performances, support on your musical releases, and more. Seed To Stage courses are the real deal! 

Finally, when you become a Seed to Stage member, you get 30% off Ableton Live software thanks to the folks at Ableton recognizing Seed To Stage as a legitimate source of education. This discount applies to both upgrades and new licenses for students of our Four Main Courses: Songwriting, Sound Design, Mixing / Mastering, and Live Performance.

What specs do I need on my computer?

Seed To Stage courses run on your browser using the Teachable platform. Any modern computer or mobile phone will run the lessons and the Discord with ease. 

If you are wondering about your computer's ability to run Ableton Live, you can see Ableton's recommended specs on their website.
