Ableton Music Producer Program | Los Angeles & Live Online (33% Off)
Created for the next generation of producers looking to get serious with their music using Ableton Live Suite. This Music Producer Program is for complete beginners, and more experienced self-taught students, seeking formal training to fill in gaps in workflow. It consists of 120 hours of world-class music production training in Ableton, and six hours of one-to-one mentoring on your music in our pro studio, with a producer/engineer of your choice from our superior roster. Work towards your certificate, while producing your own release-worthy music.
Learn sampling, advanced synthesis, and audio manipulation techniques to greatly expand your music and sound production capabilities. You will also develop your working knowledge of Ableton Live, with seamless integration into Push 2 hardware, learning how to use your DAW efficiently and effectively.
Dive into Ableton Live Suite, and cover all aspects of music production in this revolutionary DAW, as well as Ableton Live Suite’s powerful add-ons, with the best of Max4Live devices, and learn the art of sound design in Serum, which is the only 3rd party software used on this course.
Learn in an intimate setting, with like-minded groups of no more than eight in our specially designed learning labs, which encourage interactive class jams. Learning to produce the music you love should be fun and not frustrating!
VIP Short Course Pass means that you can add any of our shorter 36-hour courses (Logic, DJ, Mixing…) for you or a friend to take at a later date. You can even choose LA, NYC, San Francisco or London to take the class. As long as the course you choose exists and is running in the location, you get a spot!
Thanks to our exclusive licensing partnerships, we have assembled a range of specialized assets: synthesizers, effects, and samples for Garnish Academy and Producer Program students. These instruments and sounds allow us to teach producers, side by side, using the same sets of expanded resources. Our constantly evolving license-partners and content producers add thousands of dollars to the value of these courses. Many of these products are yours to keep. Others are free to use while you learn and are then eligible for exclusive upgrades at a fraction of their regular price.
We have our very own boutique sample label Lazerdisk Sound. Garnish students get all of our packs (mostly written and produced by Garnish instructors) for free, and an exclusive pack just for Garnish students not sold on the site! It’s recorded individual keys from Mark Ronson’s Mellotron M4000D, which our label chief Zack Johnson meticulously recorded in Mark’s studio in Hollywood. Thank you Zack and Mark!
Most learners these days prefer to use their own laptops on our courses so their set-up is customized for their workflow, and they have their project exactly as they left it in class to work on at home. So we made the course more affordable, but added a $100 supplement for learners who wish to hire an iMac loaded with software. Please ensure you book an iMac when you book your course if you need one, as we have more spots than iMacs. Controller keyboards, and headphones are always provided for everyone.
Ableton certified; Apple authorized; world-class facilities; superior roster of instructors.

Best Midi Controllers for Producers on the Move
The excuse of being ‘stuck in the studio’ can be a poor one. For <a href="https://ny.garnishmusicproduction.com/programs/ableton-producer-program/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">electronic music producers</a> and DJs, portability is key to a successful career. For example do you remember the dancefloor killer ‘Groovejet’ by Spiller featuring Sophie Ellis Bextor? Well not only did it go to number one in 4 countries selling 600k in the UK alone, but also the track name comes from the fact the instrumental was made on a plane!...

The Burn and the Return
Everything on the playa is really just a build up to ‘The Big Burn’ and in 2014 three different monuments received a right royal toasting. First to go up in flames was The Embrace, which due to an alarm clock 'malfunction' we mistakenly slept straight through. Hey, who burns things at 7am in the morning? Where's the humanity?! ...

What Is Burning Man?
Who are we, some may say, to answer the question what is Burning Man? After all, as virgin ‘Burners’ one veteran barely give us the time of day, let alone the chance to answer such a deep and meaningful question. Is there snobbery from older burners to the new school? Maybe a touch, but the majority of veteran campaigners greet newbies with a smile, not a sneer....
