Learn how to use Ableton Live from a top-rated music production instructor. Udemy offers basic to advanced Ableton Live courses to help you edit and arrange original music using Ableton Live 9 and Ableton Live Lite and become an audio professional, fast. Ableton Live is a digital audio workstation for macOS and Windows. In contrast to many other software sequencers, Ableton Live is designed to be an instrument for live performances as well as a tool for composing, recording, arranging, mixing, and mastering, as shown by Ableton's companion hardware product, Ableton Push. When adding bass or keys to a song, it’s important that each instrument sounds as full as possible. By duplicating your MIDI notes on instruments with a different harmonic profile, your melodies can make an entirely new statement. In the video below, we break down the process of stacking instruments in this episode of Watch And Learn.
