I loved this course! Even though I was already familiar with some of Ableton's capabilities, I thoroughly enjoyed going much deeper into the DAW, and using new features which I wasn't aware of until now. I had a fantastic instructor who really made learning an enjoyable process. I felt that he really listened to all the students and made lessons relevant to their individual genre preferences. I learned lots of handy tips and tricks, and my production skills have increased dramatically. - Siobhan, Music Production student
