Frequently Asked Questions

Still have 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 main 4 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 4 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!

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!
