Overview
ABOUT THE COURSE
The basis of this course is that we aren’t just simply doing a project breakdown of an already-made track. We build the track together, completely from scratch so that you can learn in the most effective and practical way.
- We provide you with all the samples and presets used throughout the course
- Together we build the initial 16 bar loop idea
- We then take the loop through to full arrangement using a reference track as a template
- We then add detail and final touches ready to mix and master
- And finally, we mix and master the track together, ready for release

Get access to our advanced learning management system
Once you enroll you will get access to our advanced learning management system which will allow you log in, view your courses, and easily track your progress on the go.
Starting with the samples we provide we build an initial 16 bar loop with drums and melodic elements.
Using the loop from part 1 we turn our idea into a full track with an intro, drop, breakdown, climax and outro.
Using stock Ableton effects we polish the mixdown, getting it sounding as professional as possible and then move on to a basic mastering chain.
Finally we provide the finished project file so that you can see first hand how it was built, compare to your own project file, reverse engineer and learn as much as possible.

If you are using Live 11 Standard or Intro you can still follow along but might be missing some of the effects and instruments we use. However, the general concepts can be transferred to whatever DAW you are using so while you might not get the exact same results, you will still benefit from learning the general principles and techniques.
All samples are provided. As long as you have Xfer Serum VST3 version 1.357 and Ableton Live 11 Suite you will be able to follow along.
There is 4.5 hours of video content over 8 lessons. However, we anticipate this taking longer if you choose to follow along at the same time.
