Anyone know where I might be able to find a course on Ableton Live Fundamentals?
I want to get to know how it works and fool around a bit, but really could use a 2 day seminar on how to get started... otherwise it's going to take me months to figure it out myself (and i get frustrated easily.)
I would have thought that Trebas woudl have a course, but if they do, it's rolled into their 34 month "sound tech" program. |

That would be the typical BeanieBoy response. Maybe I'll go muddle through some self-taught brain surgery too. To be honest, at least that's better documented.
Of course, the Ableton Quicktime tour of their new office helped me immensely. |

Typical Chrismack response.... "You don't have to put the effort in, just sit there and somebody else will spoon feed it to you" "take a course!"
Performing brain surgery without adequete training puts another person's life at risk, so clearly that's a silly idea. |

And how could one learn it "more thoroughly" on your own. If somebody helps you with the fundamentals, you can immediately focus on other aspects of the program - and instantly use the tech to be more creative - instead of spending hours figuring out how to assigm, say, DMX values to my mixer.
Face it. You are a stubborn freak. And you look kinda funny. |

Let's just say that Beanieboy and i have had this argument in the past a "few' times over a variety of things.
I liken his point of view to forcing a kid to build his own guitar before letting him take guitar lessons. He feels that learning a new technology is half (perhaps most of) the ultimate goal.
Back to my point though...
I prefer to learn the basics quickly so that i can focus on what i like to do - be creative. Figuring out the Midi mapping to my Xone 92, and trying to configure the I/Os on the sound card/software/hardware configs aren't fun to me, so if somebody can show me how to do it quickly and easily, that makes it more fun for me (and I'm doing this for "fun".
I curently use Acid Pro, Soundforge and Mixmeister, along with Scratch. But all at a basic level because i don't have any training in them - and Ableton is a quantum in difficulty over any of those.
So.... Courses? Seminars? Sales pitches where you geta free weekend vacation if you sit through a vacation sharing presentation? Anyone?
And did i mention that Beanie Boy smells?
And Beanieboy. WTF are you doing on here. You don't even like Tranceaddict! |
