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!
