From nothing to your first finished track.
Taught by Yuanyue
Twenty lessons, thirty minutes each. Start with nothing installed; finish with a mixed, exported track built from sounds you recorded during the day — in Ableton Live 12, with free plugins you installed yourself.
A track that is actually yours
Not a remix of my project file. By lesson 20 you export something you started from an empty set and can play for a person.
A kit built from your kitchen
A kettle, a drawer, a knife on a board. You record them in daylight and they become the drums you write with at night.
A template you keep using
Your racks, your routing, your five plugins. The last lesson saves it, so track two starts where track one finished.

One payment, and then it is yours.
Lessons 1 and 2 are free and always will be — do those first and decide with your hands on the software, not from this page.

I learned this the slow way — a laptop on a kitchen table, borrowed headphones, and two years of tutorials that assumed I already knew what a bus was. This course is the version I wanted then. No gear you don’t have. No theory until you need it. You’ll hear my voice and see my screen, and that is the whole production value; the point is that at the end you have a track, not that you’ve watched me have one.
Which Ableton edition do I need?
Any Live 12 edition. The course is taught on Suite, which is what the free 30-day trial gives you, and every lesson names the Intro and Standard alternative. The five free plugins in module 4 fill the gaps Intro users have, so nobody should feel they bought the wrong edition.
Do I need a MIDI keyboard or an interface?
No. Everything in the course can be drawn with a mouse and recorded on a phone. An interface and a small keyboard make a few things faster, and lesson 9 explains what each one buys you before you spend anything.
Windows or Mac?
Either. Live 12 runs the same on both, and the five free plugins are cross-platform. Where a shortcut differs, the cheat sheet lists both.
How long do I have access?
Lifetime access — one payment, no renewal, and every future update included. Come back whenever the next free evening turns up.
What if it isn’t for me?
30-day money-back guarantee if you’ve completed fewer than 5 lessons. Email us with the order id from your account page and the refund goes back to your card.
Is there a payment plan?
Not yet. The course is one payment. If a payment plan arrives, it will be announced by email first.
