Ableton 12: EDM Music Production

P2P | 10 November 2025 | 6.34 GB

Make energetic, release-ready EDM using Ableton Live 12. This course gives you a clear, practical path from a blank project to a finished track—without expensive third-party plug-ins. We start by setting up Live for speed (preferences, audio/MIDI, templates), then jump straight into Drum Rack, the Groove Pool, and smart velocity to build punchy rhythms. You’ll craft basslines with Wavetable, Operator, and MIDI tools, and learn when to layer subs and mid-bass for body and bite. You’ll master Warp modes to lock external loops to tempo, slice audio into MIDI for creative re-arrangements, and design leads and pads with Instrument Racks and Macro controls. Next, we shape the song: Locators, arrangement strategies, tension and release, build-ups, breakdowns, and drops that land with impact. To keep your mix clean, you’ll apply EQ Eight, Compressor/Glue, Saturator, Utility, and Auto Filter, plus the essential sidechain setup (including ghost-kick options) so the kick and bass breathe together.
