Great Courses I'm an old timer, getting into Ableton Live to complement my guitar playing. These courses are so useful because the audio and video quality is very professional, the lessons are clear and have a well-defined purpose, and everything is demonstrated in a musical context, so I've been enjoying learning because every lesson I complete gives me something new I can use.

Best all around "how to" for music using ableton My experience: Having taken many other online "music schools" or classes, Seed to Stage definitely gives you the most for your money for sure. What it lacks in "live content" such as labs, live streams, or lessons, is completely blown away by how good the Pre-Recorded material is. The way each topic is taught, the fact it's all in an easy to understand and digest order, and fact its only a one time fee for each course makes it WAY MORE valuable in my opinion. The other online courses or schools offer a lot of the same stuff, but I have not found one that teaches the material anywhere near as well as Anthony at Seed To Stage. Not to mention you have to pay monthly for a lot of those other music communities, and you spend a lot more for a lot less. Pros: All the video material is VERY HIGH QUALITY, everything is taught in an order that makes perfect sense and really makes sure you understand it, the videos are straight to the point and not overly long but also not lacking anything, the discord community IS SO HELPFUL (not to mention Anthony is just as active as all the regular members!), the community of people is also probably the nicest and most enjoyable to talk to. Cons: No live labs or lessons of any sort included like some of the monthly paid online music communities and it's 90% ableton based (would be cool to cover more stuff like the pigments course available). Those are about the only two things, and even then those two cons are not even a big deal Overall: I wish I found these courses when I started a few years ago. I'd be a hell of a lot further than I am now and I honestly feel bad about wasting money in other places like I have

Seed to Stage is the essential course series It's far more than a handful of courses! Seed to Stage has taught me core fundamentals, as well as connected me with an incredible community producers to make collaborations with and troubleshoot challenges. Anthony's teaching style helps me discover my style of creativity and expression, instead of the blind approach of following tutorials step-by-step. His teaching focuses on the "how" and "why" -- and it's the best arrangement of essential lessons on audio production in once place that I've ever found. Highly recommended!!

I really recommend SeedToStage! Anthony has such a laidback yet very informative teaching style. No matter what video I watch, I always take away at least one new technique or method to try out.

S2S Course Taught Me Ableton Live In Less Than A Year I recommend this course because the instructors approach soars far and above in effectiveness and depth while leaving no one behind in the understanding of the most comprehensive organization of absolutely everything there is to know of using Live. It has excellent categorization, from the courses themselves (you pick what is important for you to learn first) Songwriting course introduces you to the essentials of how to effectively translate your ideas and creativity into the software and expanding to all kinds of valuable in depth knowledge of the devices you use along the way to treat ideas according to what you want to do with them. Then, for those who want to release their music with the edge of experience in getting it to sound right upon reproduction from any system out there, you want the Mixing and mastering course. The Synthesis and Sound Design course takes you in depth of how to create your own sounds and instruments to truly have expressive freedom within the powerful built in devices of the software. The Performance course has opened my mind up to the possibilities that exist in Live for endless ways to envision executing a live performance, and since live looping is an important part of that for me, its been essential to learn all sorts of tricks for syncing loops and parts and progressing through songs, sometimes with my control over when and to what part I process by use of a foot controller. In short, if you are looking for the quickest way to get the learning out of the way and have the absolute time of your life creating music, feel the stoke and jump right in, you've found the right place. I would challenge one to try a single course, betting that over time the value will be clear and indeed draw you back for another. It speaks for itself, and comes with an unbeatable package of joining a private community of producers all learning from the course, and the chance to collab, share weird sounds, post your releases, and get incredibly helpful and kind feedback in order to get second insight once you've burnt out on something or pushed it as far as you can. That's the best part, everyone is nice!
