“Within 1 weekend, I went from knowing absolutely nothing on how to set-up and run tracks in Ableton, to have a 10 song set ready for our band rehearsal the following week. Tim’s course was laid out really well and was absolutely perfect for a beginner to get up and running in Ableton.”

“I need to quickly tell you how significant this is to me, I feel like it has given me an in into making music and performing over here. I’m not a full-time professional musician and I have very little experience playing in bands. However the backtracks, or at least having a good setup to play to click, has helped me tremendously – I think mostly because I don’t have that constant worry about whether I’m playing at the right tempo anymore and know that I won’t be slowing down or speeding up. Another big help is that I can rehearse with just a bass player or just a guitarist if I wanted to and get our parts solid first before involving the rest of the band. This is huge for me, as rehearsing a new song with 5 people all bringing their own sound and nuance to the party is still quite daunting to me, adding members one at a time is a great help. And then of course the fact that backtracks adds that extra layer of sound just to elevate and make the band sound a bit fuller, is great. So I’m really grateful for you sharing your knowledge and helping me!”

“Like many, I found myself running a show through necessity rather than choice! With limited time and faced with a daunting learning curve Tim’s free lessons helped me decide on Ableton and AFTWM took me from knowing nothing at all to running a show confidently very quickly indeed. The pacing is excellent, delivery is clear and the package makes it easy to revisit sections when you need a refresh. The follow up I’ve received on some very specific questions has really exceeded expectations, and I would absolutely recommend this course to anybody starting to dip their toes into the world of Ableton Live!”

“I had a very important audition coming up that was heavily dependable on a strong knowledge in Ableton. At the time, I had limited experience and knowledge in the program and was nervous about being able to meet the standards of what the group needed. I searched the internet over for helpful guide videos, but nothing really addressed what I needed to know in a detailed way. This audition required very specific skills within Ableton such as setting midi loops, rigging my SPD to be a midi controller within the program, knowing how to send audio to the correct channels and navigate an interface within Ableton, and tempo mapping songs. I remembered that Tim had released this instructional packet and decided to take the risk and buy it. It was the best decision I could have made for my preparation.
Tim has a unique ability to communicate and teach in a crystal clear way. He breaks down aspects of Ableton to a beginner level so that someone with absolutely no experience can walk into an audition and execute the program flawlessly. He has put a ton of time and effort into making this packet almost self-explanatory. He separates several different aspect of the program into short clips so that you can focus on exactly what you’re looking to learn. He also addresses both arrangement view and session view, which isn’t common in other instructional packets. On top of all of this, Tim was available for my questions and took time to make sure I understood exactly how everything worked. If you’re in need of learning this program, this is the best instructional you will find on the internet.”
