This quick course is perfect if you have just installed Ableton Live, or if you are looking to buy soon and want to start using it straight away.

In just a few hours you will get up and running importing audio files, programming beats, using midi controllers and mixing your tracks.

This is the right course if you DJ, remix, if you play an instrument and want to use Live as a sketchpad to collect musical ideas, or if you already know how to use other software and simply need a quick introduction to Live's way of doing things.
