Getting Started: If you're new to music production or Ableton Live, watch the lectures once to grasp the basics and then re-watch them as you follow along with the tasks step by step. With about 2 hours of video content and additional downloadable resources, you can complete the course in approximately 3 to 4 hours. The pace is designed to allow you to understand and apply what you learn without feeling rushed.

No Special Equipment Needed: You'll most likely have everything you need to get started right at home! Ableton Live (version 10 or later) is required, but many students use items as simple as a pot or pan to create their sounds.
