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

Anthony has a gift when it comes to not only Ableton but also teaching. The way the lessons are delivered is so interesting and engaging. I love how there is no filler in this course!
Not only does [the songwriting course] provide an extensive & thorough understanding of Ableton, but also includes music theory and numerous other musical concepts akin to a classical music training.
The sound design course is amazing. Easy to follow, and easy to understand!

I am super happy with the courses I purchased and they're really helpful and fun. Also Anthony is simply a really great, friendly teacher. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Seed to Stage to anyone!
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!
..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.
Anthony is a gifted teacher and does a fantastic job of presenting the information about Ableton Live in his own unique style. The courses are very broad in scope and leave no stone unturned.
I was amazed by the abundance of great ideas shared throughout, offering endless inspiration for creating music. The instructors' expertise shines through his explanations and demonstrations!
