In this set of lessons you'll learn about the version 10.1 update for Ableton Live. Even as new updates come out, it's always good to take a close look at major updates like this one as there are many key workflow enhancements and changes that can open up new creatively possibilities or simply change the way you work with the software. While you can read about the update online, we're going to take a deep dive into some of the major changes that are instantly useful for making music. For example, wavetable synthesis is a popular synthesis method for achieving modern tones heard on many records today, and the 10.1 update allows you to use Live's Wavetable synth almost like a granular synth (yet another method of synthesis) by uploading your own custom sound samples into the synth. Arming yourself with knowledge like this will expand your creative palate in unpredictable ways, and that's just one of the many topics we'll cover in the following lessons!

Lesson topics include:

  • Introduction to 10.1
  • Wavetable Samples
  • Automation and Modulation
  • Delay and Channel EQ
  • Sidechain Freeze
