Using hardware and software in harmony, John shows you how to integrate your hardware into a typical recording setup to be most effective and streamlined to get your job done and will also take you through how to best record your outboard hardware equipment. As this course is aimed at intermediate Ableton Live users, John will give you some tips and advice on how to generate ideas in MIDI and transform them into meaningful melodies, basslines or loops. Finally, once you have built up your song and have arranged it to your taste, you will be given the chance to add the finishing touches to your song, mixing it using essential tools such as EQ and compression as well as effects such as reverb and delay.
When it comes to working with DAWs and in particular, Ableton Live, there's nobody better to teach you than John Watson. Having worked with Depeche Mode and The Cure producer, Dave Allen, John studied Music Technology in London and later signed to CookShop Records. A master of his craft, John has set up his own studio, Jackdaw Recordings where he has collaborated and worked with many successful artists and has performed nationally and internationally with pop musician Patrick Wolf. Now writing music in his studio and doing sound design for film, theatre and TV, John is using his in-depth knowledge to teach you how to become a better producer through this innovative and exciting course.

This means you can take the course at your own pace. You'll be able to dip in and out when you please and if you ever feel you need a refresher you can come back to MusicGuru without the need for any further purchases.
