Create a dance track with commercial potential.
This course has been designed for the student in ways that make it fast and easy to produce a full track ready for a commercial release. You will learn quick and simple techniques in Ableton Live 9 to produce an uplifting Piano Pop Dance track that can have the potential to have vocals added at a later date should you choose to.
The genre of Deep House has many different styles ranging from the underground dub to low pitched vocals combined with future house synths. But here in this tutorial we simply construct the traditional techniques within a standard House music arrangement and apply them using a very simple formula. The formula that we will be constructing here is a classic one which has been proven time and time again to be a winning formula. The style and the sounds we use are a fundamental technique within commercial House music.
You will be required to play some keyboard/piano so if you can play then this would be a great advantage but you are guided through the tutorials to see how the music is performed and what notes are played, so if you are not too confident in playing keyboards then this tutorial will be able to show you how.
You will use drum samples both loops and individual hits to create a classic house beat, combined with using the simpler plug in by adding bass sounds to replay as notation back into Ableton.
You will also use an additional free third party plug in synth at no extra cost to create uplifting piano riffs to give the track that classic house style.
You will learn techniques such as sending effects via bus channels and adding and subtracting eq frequencies from individual tracks to create a nice clean final mix.
You will learn how to do a basic mastering session so you can trial your tracks in your DJ set or on alternative sound systems.

My name is Rob Webster and I am a professional record producer and record label owner. I create and teach people how to produce music of various genres and to hopefully pass on my knowledge and experience to others who wish to become producers. My courses are mostly within the Ableton software with the use of various 3rd party plug...
short succinct straight to the point and the track that is made sounds great even though house is not my favorite style
Course was a great match, very much what I was looking for. Had some Mac/PC incompatibilities, but these were easily addressed with additional VSTs. I appreciated the straightforward and detailed delivery, and I'm glad I took the course.

Course is easy and simple to follow, the instructor is clearly knowledgeable but could be more in depth. I would definitely recommend this course if you're a beginner. If you're at a higher level this may not be your best bet.
great course so far!
Overall, fairly good. Could have gone more into the idea behind what he was doing, rather than just a "Do what I do" approach. I also got irritated by him repeatedly referring to high pass filters, when he mean high cut, or low pass, and vice versa. High pass lets the high (pass) through, but he was specifically removing them. Not a big deal while you're watching, or if you don't know what things mean, but being as I was following along by listening, while working with Ableton over top of my browser, I kept having to switch back to see what he was talking about.
Thank You Rob. I really enjoyed the course. I picked up lots of new ideas and it was great to end up with a finished song. I just wish my version sounded like yours. :-)
why only loops ?
Early days but already have learnt some cool stuff for Ableton.
