Join us for our Intro to Ableton Live workshop. This is a beginner friendly workshop for all those looking to delve into this popular DAW. We'll introduced to the program's main aspects including layout, audio recording, working with MIDI and software instruments, session vs arrangement view, effects, and more. By the end of the workshop you should have the tools to get started making music in Ableton Live.

A computer is not necessary to attend - you're welcome to watch and learn. That said, you are welcome to bring your own laptop to follow along using your own copy of live or the demo version available for free on Ableton's website. We also have a few library computers but not enough for everyone in attendance, so these are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will have information about how to obtain extended trial licenses as well as 5$ licenses of Ableton live lite, which is relatively full featured and not time-limited like the free trial license.

Presented by Jonah Bloom and Bryan Gibbs
