Special note: Please note you will need to have Ableton Suite installed. Please do not start your free trial till the day of or before class, to maximize the free trial during this workshop. I will be teaching the latest version of Ableton Live Suite and I recommend this version of the software. If you have an older version, or a non suite version, some of the feature set may not apply due to the differences between previous versions, and version 12.
