Meet your tutor

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.

Add flavour to your productions with samples

Designed for intermediates with a good understanding of Ableton Live and music production, in this course, John walks you through step by step how to enhance your tracks with samples. The importance of samples in electronic music production cannot be understated and here, you will learn how to build a track using only samples! Gain a greater understanding of how to use the integrated Sampler within Ableton and learn how to record them into your tracks to add flair and excitement to your productions.

Spread over two hours of footage in 14 engaging lessons, John walks you through advanced techniques to help your productions pop including how to adjust the envelope of your sample by customising the Attack, Sustain, Decay and Release as well as how to use EQ, Reverb and Compressors to add the finishing touches to your samples. Additionally, you gain access to bonus content that includes samples from John's personal collection as well as his Ableton Live project files for inspiration.

Take the lessons at your own pace

There is nothing worse than the feeling of being rushed when trying to learn and understand something as deep and complex as music, after all, everyone takes on information at different rates and sometimes online learning platforms provide limited-time-only licenses and subscription services that pressure you into further purchases and more expensive subscription periods. Well, MusicGuru has changed that as with their courses not only do you get the wealth of knowledge from in-the-industry professionals, but you also get lifelong access to your course and all the downloads that come with it. 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.

MusicGuru can also boast difficulty ratings so you know what you're getting into and advanced video features for the lessons, so if you want to take it back and hear the excerpt again but at a bit of a slower speed, you can! Being compatible with phones, tablets and desktops, you'll be able to learn when you want, where you want, whether that be in front of your instrument at home or just to pass the time whilst commuting on the train, MusicGuru design the courses to work around you, whatever your lifestyle.
