Full Track Created From Scratch – Ableton Live

 

Welcome to the Ableton Live Trance Track Start To Finish Production Course

Want to learn how to make professional-sounding Trance but don’t know where to start? Are Youtube tutorials not giving you the answers you want? Tired of your tracks not sounding good next to the pros?

It’s all here in this 21+ hour course where I will go over everything from the ground up! You will see my full creative process, and learn my full thought process behind every sound that is designed or chosen in real-time.

Why is this course different?

Nothing is pre-planned so that you get to see everything that works and doesn’t (just like when you are in the studio). This allows you to learn from each step of the process.

There are no pre-planned sounds that just fall into place so that you can understand why something is working, and why it’s not. This provides a much better learning experience for you when you then come to tackle issues that you face when producing your tracks.

My goal with every tutorial is to give as much detail as possible (hence why it’s 21+ hours) and not just quickly skim over parts. See below for a full list of the subjects that are covered (full page description links included also)

10 x Videos  [Duration 21+ hours]

21+ Hours for a reason.

Unlike other courses that may show you a full track in just a few hours, this course goes through the full track and thought process behind every decision in extreme detail. The thought process of why something is done is one of the most vital bits of information. Nothing is just skimmed over and I believe in this course you truly get what you pay for.

Hands down best trance production tutorial

If you want to improve your trance production skills quickly, there really isn't a better way than to learn directly from a pro. I haven't gone back to Youtube since watching this series. Literally every single part of the production process is covered in detail - nothing is cut out or skipped over. It really is helpful to see him experimenting and trying different things even if they aren't used in the finished track. Allan gives hundreds of tips and tricks from how to create an effective melody to getting your tracks sounding more full and professional. The Ableton template and racks he uses are even included with the videos.

Thank you so much Allan for sharing your knowledge and helping other producers get started on their trance production journey!

Awesome Tutorial Series

Really Love this tutorial series, extremely well thought out and presented. Very concise and in depth examples and guidance on sound production and arrangements. Allan Morrow is a really fine teacher, offering great insights and an awesome course.

Raphael Digout
The most complete and realistic production course

Whatever your level is, this course is truly a game changer. Everything a producer needs to know is covered with a high level of detail: Music theory, writing melodies, sound design, arrangement, transitions & automations, high level of mixing and mastering, etc.

Generally, similar tutorials are pretty straightforward and focused on what to achieve with a planned and expected result, which, let's be honest, is rarely the case when producing music. Watching Allan testing different sounds, patterns or layers is way much closer to the real uses and struggles every producer have been through.

5 stars well deserved for this amazing course that will surely change your way of producing trance music.
