One-Day Workshop: Going Deeper with Ableton Live
In this workshop you will get a hands-on tour of Ableton Live where you pick a Project that fits your interest, then take off and play with it to see what you can do.
Here are a few of the available topics.
- Making Beats (drum patterns)
- Studio Mixing with FX & Automation

- Multi-Track Live Performance
- Playing synths & MIDI instruments
- Tools for Total Distortion Noise & Ambient Sound Design
We'll start with a raw beginner intro to make sure everyone can keep up.
Steve Knots will do a short demonstration of each Ableton Project from the list above. Then you can pick the one you want to play with, get involved, and ask questions when you need help.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This is a hands-on workshop where you will be playing sounds, listening to music, and exploring creative options inside Live.
