An ultimate beginner's guide to Ableton Live created by a university tutor (updated in 2022)

Ever thought of writing electronic music in Ableton Live but didn’t know where to start? Or maybe found this software too complex? We created this Ableton Zero to Hero course specifically for complete beginners like you as a gentle introduction to Ableton Live. Even though we call it gentle, it gives all essentials to kickstart your music production journey. Skip the boring stuff such as music theory and start writing your music straight away!


2022 update: We've added an overview of Ableton Live 11 and its Scale, Velocity and Chance features.

The course is created by Craig Lowe, a Music Technology lecturer at universities across London. Using his experience and students' feedback, he created an easy to follow, entry-level course for Ableton Live 11 and 10 that consist of 5 steps:

Step 1: You’ll get an overview of Ableton Live 11 and 10 (views, clips, channels and instruments)

Step 2: You’ll create a drumbeat in different styles of music (basic, techno, house, trap, hip hop)

Step 3: You’ll learn chord sequences and create your own

Step 4: You’ll create a bassline

Step 5: And finally, you’ll arrange your song and export it as an MP3 or WAV.

Bonus: Free drumbeat cheatsheet PDF included in the course.

UPDATE: On January 2021 we added assignments so now you can post your work and get detailed feedback from Craig. Feel free to ask him any questions about Ableton. See you on the course!
