Want to get started with the latest version of Ableton Live? This Quick Start course is designed to do just that! In this 22-tutorial course, legendary producer and trainer Olav Basoski shows you how to get up and running quickly with this amazing audio production and live performance tool that is Live 10.

Olav starts by showing you the building blocks of any Live projects. You learn how to jam and experiment with clips and scenes in Session View, you discover MIDI and Audio tracks, and you learn to apply effects using Sends and Returns. Olav explains all the essential elements of Live's interface: the Tempo & Transport controls, the Quantization menu, as well as the all-important Browser where you can find all the tools, sounds and instruments you want to use in your projects.

Live's session view is perfect to use as a sketchpad or for jamming, but of course, Olav also covers the more traditional Arrangement View in great details. You discover different ways to zoom in and out, how to work with the grid, and how to quickly do edits. Continuing with the course, you also learn about Warping, automation, and you get a tour of Live's built-in audio effects.

So launch Live 10 and get up and running quickly with trainer and producer Olav Basoski! And be sure to watch all of our Ableton Live courses in our ever-expanding Ableton course collection.

Man, this course was a great introduction to Ableton Live 10. I learned enough to get my feet wet. Coming from FL, I was kind of confused when I first tried to give it a go. Honestly, I didn't give it my best try because I was so used to FL that I didn't feel like I needed another program. But, I see the light now! Thanks for the quick intro and not boring me to death, lol.

Great practical overview of Live 10. These series are much better than the 8-10 hours of unorganized jibber-jabber from "best-seller" instructors of other platforms. Well done!

Only negative is that theres so much information presented in a short period of time that its a little overwhelming. Trying out what i learned ASAP.

Great course. Short and to the point - if you just want to get started with Ableton Live quickly.
