Production and Arrangement with Ableton Live 8
AL201
This course is the ideal continuation of Ableton Live 100 and it covers a more in-depth use of effects, instruments, mixer and automation for music production.
Turning a fresh idea that was put together in a few minutes in to a polished track takes a lot more knowledge than just balancing the levels, and Ableton's Live compatibility with third-party plugins and ability to work both as a Rewire host and slave make it all possible.

About the Trainer
'Jakeone' is one half of Toob (their 2008 LP "Push Me Pull You" was described by Bleep.com as "the best leftfield pop album of the year").
Jake's new solo outing is a lo-fi, live take on techno, taking in influences from across the electronic spectrum.
His live set involves manipulating chopped-up loops of his and others' tracks alongside a drum machine, bass synth, FX and the odd twisted vocal snippet. Recent gigs, including Edinburgh, Glasgow and London's new high-profile electronic night Balance, have been met with a rapturous response.
He has also just turned in belting remixes for Bomb the Bass (with whom he collaborated on 2008's Future Chaos LP) and Process label-mate Mark O Sullivan. Both out this winter.
