About this course

We've teamed up with acclaimed Certified Ableton Trainer Isaac Cotec to create a 3-part Ableton Live course that walks you through everything you need to master it. This is part 3, ideal if you're at an intermediate level and already comfortable with the basics - navigating the program, the browser, session and arrangement views, Warp modes and so on. (You can start with part 1 and part 2 first.)

In this part, Isaac digs into the more advanced features of Ableton Live: editing, moving between session and arrangement views to take full control of your edits, working with automation, adding audio effects, and remixing.

It's a great course if you know the basics and want to start finishing your songs - rendering out a final track to send for mastering, say, or putting together an album. Using a mix of live video, presentations and screenshots, Isaac makes it easy to follow exactly what he's doing.

Included are a full set of exercises and course downloads - check them out on the "Downloads" tab above.

Isaac Cotec

Isaac Cotec

Isaac Cotec is, arguably, one of the best Ableton trainers in the world! While working on his own music, he began teaching recording techniques, sound design, and Ableton Live to private students, and since earning his certification as an official Ableton Certified Trainer he has helped thousands of producers step up their game and succeed as musicians.

Isaac started producing electronic music in 2005 with Psyche Sonics, an experimental group working with the science and research of binaural beats and altering consciousness through sound. After touring, he continued writing music under the alias Cotec and later emerged as the artist Subaqueous, blending his electronic past with both future and organic production techniques. To date, he has released 3 albums and 4 EPs.

Isaac is also the founder and manager of the record label Invibe Music, which represents some of the Pacific Northwest's best electronic music and specialises in midtempo dance music.

In his Ableton Live courses, Isaac shares the production, sound design and songwriting techniques he has spent years refining - the very skills he uses to turn a spark of an idea into a finished track.
